I know, I know, your probably thinking, what is a picture of that old dresser doing on your blog??? Well, I have to brag a little....... I found this piece at the Habitat Store in
Fayetteville at least 7 months ago. It's been neglected ever since until this past week!!! I sanded, primed and painted one coat of my new favorite color, Split Pea, by Benjamin Moore! I have to add that my darling husband put a second coat of paint and poly on for me. He also replaced the old nasty white knobs with glass knobs! Did it turn out cute or what????
Now, this next piece of furniture I found at the good ole Salvation Army. I was dropping off some old clothes, etc for donations, and I spotted this night stand. I should have taken a picture of the "before" - Let me tell you...It was so ugly. Someone had tried to paint it 3 different colors. The bones were good though. All it needed was a good sanding and a cute coat of Pink paint!!! I'm going to paint some green polka dots on top. It matches her bedding. I finally bought all of the material. Can't wait to show everybody! My Aunt Evelyn (great aunt) is quilting the top of her
bedspread. As soon as she's done with it, I'm going to sew a bed ruffle around the edges....
OK, so the pic above is of the double sink vanity - Max painted this and he did an incredible job!!!! He also did all of the tiling on the floor and in the shower - We are waiting for a couple of tiles to come in so he can finish :) We also originally painted the walls a cream color. However, when we put the vanity in, it looked HORRIBLE. The green distressed vanity looked "too" green. So, I suggested we paint the walls the same chocolate brown as the media room. Wallah! It toned everything right down! Max painted this unfinished cabinet a green color and then rubbed stain over it to create a distressed look. I couldn't be more happier! Very glad we chose to go this way over the black cabinet!
So, the pic below is not the greatest, but you can see my lovely Leopard Print Carpet!!!!!
Yay!!! I love!!! You are looking straight into the hallway that leads to the 2 new bedrooms. The bathroom is on the backside of the bedrooms and connects to both. You can also see my 2 fabulous picture finds! Max and I went to a local lighting store that went out of business. The bank was selling everything they had at 75% off! These 2 pics were listed at $275 for the pair, and we got them for about $70. They were a perfect fit for the hallway!!! I knew we would use them somewhere in the new space, but just didn't know where! Now, I don't have any blind or window treatments up, so the glare is coming through the window. Sorry! We painted the walls a chocolate brown color. LOVE!!!
Oh, I could just eat her up! She's such a little
Momma's girl and I love it! Can't wait for Easter Sunday!
Maddux will have a blast hunting for Eggs..... OK, I think I'm going to admit this girl looks just like me! Yikes!!
Hey Guys! I've been on my Mom to get pics of my new room posted!! Here we go!!
Me and my Momma found these cute shoes at Target, and felt like this was the perfect "inspiration" for my new room. Now, I'm not out of my crib yet, but we decided to go ahead and get my big girl bed all made up real cute and all!
OK, so this is my new upholstered headboard. Daddy made this for me. He's got a great idea on how to mount it to the wall. Maybe someday my Momma can make a tutorial and post it online. The fabric is a rough silk with tiny polka dots. The green silk pillowcases were already made at the fabric store and were in a clearance bin. We snatched these babied up for sure! My Great-Great Aunt Evelyn quilted the top of the bedspread. It turned out FABULOUS! My momma is currently sewing green silk similar to the pillowcases around the edges of the quilted top of the bedspread. You can see below!
Maddux, can you say "Pink Nightmare" ? Hahahahah - Little Shout out to the movie "A Christmas Story"

Addi Grace turns 10 months old a week from this Sunday - Ouch - Which has me thinking about her 1st birthday party - Max and I went ALL OUT for Maddux's party and I feel like if I don't do the same for Addi Grace, I'm not being fair. Any mother's out there feel the same???? Anyway, I've been brainstorming on what to do, when to do it (since it's right in the middle of my post season) The invitation we did for Maddux's first birthday party is above. I loved this invitation. It was perfect! Of course, my sister-in-law Wendy (http://www.wendydunnphotography.com/) took the pic -- And she also took the one above of Addi Grace a couple of weeks ago! Oh! She is so good!!! 
So these Pics are kind of out of order, but you should be able to get it! This pic above is the built in cabinets we had made for our kids room. Max likes to call it the media room, but I hate calling it that! I feel like a snob! We still have to paint it, but I LOVE the design. We basically took pics of cabinets in Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware and others I found online and had them custom make it! The pic below is what the new bathroom tile looks like. I love it - Just a good brown color - Can't wait for the vanity to get installed! Max did an amazing job painting it.
This is the guest bedroom - Sheetrock and everything! Of course, since this pic was taken, they finished the drywall - Note to anyone remodeling in your home. Sheetrock dust goes EVERYWHERE!!!! I've mopped about 4 times this week and it still keeps getting on the floor!
