Bedroom furniture before

Here are a few pics of the bedroom furniture I picked up at agarage sale for only 30.00 the whole set. It also includes the dresser!!
Here are the before pics.
I hope to add after pics by the end of the week! I will be painting the furniture country white.

Thrifty finds

I have been all over thrift stores here and there and found so mant neat treasures lately!!
These beautiful plates I found for only 50 a piece. I love the pink roses and the gold. So pretty and I have enough for a tea party, however there weren't any tea cups!! Now I must find them! the milkglass cake stand I stuffed some roses in was only a few dollars and its just so pretty too.
I rearranged my living room furniture this weekend and I really like it alot. I will get some pics posted tommorow during the day!!
I also found a whole bedroom set- all wood- for only 30.00!!!
I am going to be painting it this week and hope to get our master bedroom painted as well.
I have a huge list of things to do around the house and it gets overwhelming at times!!
I just need to take my time and try not to stress over it. I have a good eye for bargains, which helps alot, and it just takes a great amount of patience.

1st day of school

Today was the big day!!
The twins 1st day of kindergarten!! Mikayla was very nervous as can be seen from this photo. Megan was very excited!
Michelle started middle school and she seemed a bit nervous too. I am a a nervous wreck!! Middle school!!! When did this happen?!?!?
I know middle school is a guhe transition, but I think she will do just fine!!

Camping away

The kids have been having a great time with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Amber.
Auntie Amber bought a big tent and the kids have been camping out in the back yard!!
Not exactly roughing it- they have power out there, a fan, a dvd player, radio, lanterns, mps players and the works!!
Mommy tried roughing it out too, but an hour into the night Mamas back was about to give out!!! I tried!!
It was nice and cozy out there for sure! They made smores the first night and watched movies!!

Hallway done!

We kept busy yesterday with some painting projects. We repainted the small hall area leading to MB and while we were at it, we tore down some wall paper borger in the hallway of main bathroom and gave it a fresh coat of paint as well.
It looks great, fresh and clean once again. It's amazing what dogs and kids can do to your home!!
After we painted the hall area off the master bedroom I added some pretties.
The candleabra was a thrift store find for 1.00 that I painted and added roses and costume jewelry too.
We still have to paint the master bedroom and kitchen I added to the list as well.
I am thinking pink!!

Simple Project of the day

I just love finding treasure at the thrift stores and making them pretty.
This frame was a simple wood frame I found for pennies a few years ago.
I painted it off white cream color and cut a piece of pretty wrapping paper to fit
inside the glass then added the thick pink ribbon for the final shabby chic touch.
It fits perfect in the newly decorated bathroom.
And the faux finish on the bathroom walls is actually just sand added to the paint.
It kind of gives it a concrete look.

Master Bath Almost All Done!!! Before and After pics

Here is the before pics. Ugly outdated bathroom in our master bedroom. It is a very small space and so it needed alot od work and we still need to get more stuff done!
Michael pulled out alot of the nasty brown tile I hated and tore out the flourscent lights, I found a vintage light fisture at the thrift store for only 1.50!!
It fits in there perfectly!
Now to the after pics~~

We painted the bath acustome color from Walmart. I found a paint chip called lady of the lake at Lowes and rather than spend the 25.00 on the gallon there I bought it Walmart for 11.86
It came out beautifully!!
Now we still have more to finish up and add to the bathroom.
The ceiling needs to be painted, and we plan on adding some sort of chair rail or crown molulding above the tiolet bowl and around the vanity.
I want to add a pic also on the wall where the light switch is.
It's a work in progress as is the rest of the house! At least now we can enjoy the space and have our own little escape spot for the world!
