Redecorating!

 I mentioned in my last post  that I've gotten the redecorating itch. Well, I had to scratch it! With some inexpensive Behr paints samples, some spray paint I already had, and some thrifted $6 curtains, I got to work!

I stripped this coffee table, which we had painted black for the past few years. We live in a basement right now, so the black furniture made it feel even darker than it already is down here! I used Behr's Chocolate Froth paint on the coffee table and two end tables. It's a very light gray, though it looks white in this lighting/pictures.



Left: Cheap Walmart end table, $1 drawer pull from Michael's, Behr's Chocolate Froth paint
Right: Free end table from a family I babysat for,  used to be black w/ green drawers. Behr's Chocolate Froth paint, and Behr's Ashwood on the drawers. Original drawer pulls.






These frames were thrifted, I have had them since my wedding. We used them in our photobooth! They were almost the same color as the walls originally, but to brighten things up I spray painted them white. Then I used twine to tie some old Orangina drink bottles we've been saving onto the frames for flower vases!





I found some awesome vintage curtains at the thrift store that had a great floral print on them with all these beautiful colors. Only using one of the panels, I was able to make 2 throw pillow cases and recover a lamp shade! You can't see it in this picture but the colors perfectly complement all the colors in our book lamp!




 Hope you enjoyed my little redecorating spree re-cap, thanks for reading!!

Project - Christmas in our Shoebox

Kyle and I recently moved to a tiny apartment in Northern VA, and its the first Christmas where we haven't been out of town for the majority of the month so we actually get to enjoy decorating for the holiday! 

Being that we now have 3 cats and two of them are holy terrors with the tree, we had to keep the ornamentation simple to avoid breakage, so I spent a day cutting out paper chains and snowflakes old school style, yay for zero-cost decorations!

I hung lights, chains and snowflakes all around the tiny living room portion of our apartment, and on the windows.
All is merry and bright. :)




more pretties to enjoy
