I wanted to share a wonderful decorating moment with everyone (you will no doubt see the joy on my face in the picture). This happened about a month ago - I'm behind, I know - in the glorious little town of Bel Air, MD with my second set of sisters Emily and Juliane. Jules was kind enough to take me to the best little antique shop EVER and I was truly in heaven! I diligently lurked up and down every isle in search of the perfect piece I had come to find - I had a picture in my head and I was NOT settling for anything less! A few minor allergy attacks from Emily later, and some cute, but not quite perfect finds, I came around the corner to Emily's shouts and down at the end of the isle is MY new tv stand (no I did not have a tv yet, but that is beside the point). I'm fairly certain I shrieked rather loudly and proceeded to sprint do
wn the isle to this glorious piece of furniture! Birds were chirping and a light was shining down like a spot light from the heavensabove, or was that an actual spotlight with a 60 watt bulb...who knows?
So folks here I am after the find...I think I scared Jules :)
A picture of the final product - complete with my new killer tv - to follow!
And now some before and after shots. I realllllly wanted some cute mismatch cottage-y chairs for my kitchen table. I definitely had to look beyond what was right in front of my eyes and attempt to see the potential in my options!
This was a hideous maroon chair with crusty fabric (yes it literally crackled when I ripped it off)!
BEFORE!
AFTER!!!
Don't you love it?! I do :) I am getting more mismatched styles and then paint them the same color! I'll post more soon.
Hopefully everyone is having an amazing day...if not, you are the only one with the power to change that!
*Peace, love, and lawn gnomes*
