MY SHUTTERS!

After waiting almost two years I finally got shutters for the house. Everytime I drive up to my house it makes me so happy to see the shutters. Later this month we will be replacing the screen door.

HomeGoods and Garage Sale Finds

Last Saturday my dear friend Lori headed out to Summit for a yard sale. It was pretty sparse but I did pick up this bookshelf for $15 which I plan on painting. Lori ended up buying four chairs that she is planning on redoing.


Then we headed to HomeGoods and I found these wood signs for my kitchen for $5.00 and this Cafe sign for $12.99.

My First Pillows

When I couldn't find pillows with the right color to match my curtains I decided to try and attempt to make them myself. I went to Calico Corners and bought some really nice fabric. I am pretty happy with the results.

End table redone!

Here is the finished end table. I will post the before picture again below. I put it in my daughter's room and it fits in perfectly.

Found Object from Mother

This weekend my parents came up for a visit and brought me this mirror that was my grandmother's. The glass has been replaced but it has the original gold plated frame. The mirror is from the 1940's and I just love it. I was looking for a mirror so I was thrilled to get one with a history.
