In Case You Were Wondering...

This is what I was up to this weekend. Some of you guessed it, and I really confused others of you, but I was fixing up a Goodwill tray. Last week I dropped off some stuff at Goodwill, and you know I couldn't pass up going inside and seeing what they had! Here is my $2 purchase...

Mini Tutorial:

1. Prep work - sand, clean, prime and base coat 2. tape off area for accent color
3. touch up 4. clear glaze coating 5. wait proper dry time (I forgot this last step, and had to go back to start)

I really wanted to add some more color into this room, but mainly I needed a home for my coasters besides in a drawer now that they look so darn pretty! I think the tray really adds a pop of color and ties in well with the tin art we have on our mantel.

For those of you wondering if we had a living room... we do! I'm sorry I have never posted pictures of this room before, but I couldn't figure out a good way of photographing it without showing you all of the padding around our hearth ;) Our fireplace is monstrous, and trying to photograph around it is no easy task. So in light of keeping it real I choose little mans noggin over pretty pictures.

Gorgeous Family Rooms

It's FALL {I know I have already mentioned this a time or two} and this means in the upcoming months we will be spending lots more time indoors. I absolutely love the thought of sitting in my warm house next to the fire with a hot cup of joe watching the brisk morning air outside. What better way to do this than in one of these charming rooms?

The ottoman in this room is amazing and look at that bamboo mirror! This living room has such sophistication and yet still feels like you could kick up your feet. Not to mention that my "mommy mind" {not sure that is a real term, but it feels real to me} goes straight to how safe that ottoman would be around the baby. It's got me thinking how I can accomplish this.

I love each and every one of these rooms for different reasons. Don't they just make you want to stay there forever?

I Have a Thing for Wing Back Chairs

I have been painting, painting, painting for the last couple of days {I blame it on my husband for being out of town}. Our office/guest bedroom is the last room in the house to get painted, and I'm almost done with adding the horizontal stripes around the room.

But instead of finishing up, I have been dreaming of wing back chairs. I'll admit it, I have a thing for wing back chairs. I have long been trying to find a pair on Craigslist that I can recover, but I am a little intimidated to take the leap! I love how they are no longer exclusive to stuffy formal rooms. They are popping up in every style of home from feminine to masculine, cottage to modern and country to urban. With fun prints and dramatic shapes they are sure to make a statement.
