House Update

So much has been going on here lately! I have been working super hard around the house trying to get things done! Finally finished this chair I picked up for $10 thrifting with Seth....I re-upholstered with burlap, and re-painted, and it now matches our desk perfectly!



I also added some burlap behind the desk, so now all of those lovely computer cords are hidden!



We have gotten new blinds for our house- we found them for a steal on sale at JCPENNY! Who knew they had faux wood blinds? And for $17.99 each!! yea!! They make such a difference!





This trunk John found at a yardsale for $25 bucks! It used to have a floral chalk design (I forgot to take a before pic) but I went at it with soap and water and it came off! yea!!

This lamp was also a find I found thrifting with Seth- again, no before pic, but I painted it white and found this wicker shade at Old Time Pottery!



We were so so excited to get our Dining Room Table! I found this last year while I was at USC in Columbia at a place called South Eastern Salvage. They have the same store in Chatanooga, so last week Seth and I drove up there and got it!! We still need to go back and get 4 more chairs- we got all the ones they had. Love it!!



This pic is for Nat- Adam and Nat got us this light fixture for our wedding and it is perfect in our master bath! yea!!



Thats all for now folks! Working on a few more things here that I will be posting soon!
