Around My Home.

When I used to dream of owning my first home, I always imagined spending every spare moment & dime making it my dream home, making sure every inch was coordinated & perfect. DREAMS, right? I have my first home, which is more than alot of people my age can say, and I am disappointed in myself that I did not hold up my end of the dream by working to make it what I want it to be. The task some times seems exhilarating, but a lot of the times it seems out of reach. I am trying to make it reachable. I am trying to come home everyday and work on a little something to either spruce up the nest or clean up the nest. I have a little sneak peak of what I have been up to.

Bones of a studio

This is a Salvation Army score of a farm table. I love this table. It was originally a yellow color. It used to fit into the orangey room at my mom's house. Now she has had a facelift and is sporting a beachy grey look. I love it.

This chair was painted at the same time as the table & they coordinate quite loverly! The seat is covered in the quilt that I never finished. I like it like this.

This was a score! So happy I snatched this lady up. She was two inches away from fitting in my car. I told the man at the store that I was normally overly optimistic about fitting things in car and asked him to look at my car before we tried. Oh well. I paid one of my parents unemployed friends to help me get her home. It was a win-win.

These frames were Hobby Lobby unfinished wood frames for 40% off. I have painted all of them. They are going on my black wall. I just have to pick out what I am putting in all of them so I can arrange. I got some 3M strips on sale to test out...crossing my fingers they work out. I like the idea. I don't know if I trust them whole heatedly. It is worth a try.

I will update with progress. Hopefully sooner, than later!

Have a wonderful weekend blogFriends!
