What's the purpose of this?


This was an old shelf thing I found in a shed ( i started painting it THEN took the pic ) it was hideous though, oil stained, black/brown, over 75 yrs old.
I had nothing better to do, so i painted it. Now what? It just upstairs and holds magazines. Should I do something more to it? Legs? Another color? Purpose?


Love my dresser.


This antique dresser was originally in Bryn's first nursery. I bought it for $60, repainted and put glass knobs on it for her changing table in her room:

So it's been used plenty, and now it's sittin pretty upstairs, with no real purpose, other than to look clean. Not sure what else I'm going to put on top. I just tossed that pillow up there for color for now. Probably will put a mirrored box on it or somethin.

Burlap Stools


just in time for fall. this cost me nothing..i went down to my local coffee roasters ( Dillanos ) and asked for some of their coffee bags. I then cut it and simply re-covered my stools! ( there are 2 )

Table for 2


The newest edition to our dining room. Bryn's lil Ikea table, I got at a garage sale for $20, painted it ( free paint from Glidden ) covered some foam ( free, found it in the closet ) with polka dot fabric ( $3) to make lil pads. Brynlee loves it. Will take a better photo later.

My camera is busted, so I wont be posting pics for a bit, unless I find one to borrow. I do have lots to post about too!
