Decorating with what you have!

 

The kids stayed the night at Nana and Papas last night and I had a few hours to myself! I have recently joined Pinterest and love it! This was one of my first pins! I found it at http://akadesign.ca/. It is a great blog to check out! I will definetely be following!

My entry table was looking extra sad after sending some stuff to Serendipity that had been being stored on it! Remember when my husband spotted it out for me on the side of the road? I took the drawers off thinking that I would be able to quickly find some baskets to replace them with. Now its been a year and no such luck. They are an odd size. On to plan B… having Brandon build me some crates with pallet wood. Hopefully we will get to that soon!

I started digging through the garage and around the house and came up with this! I love the challenge of having to use what you have!

I stole the burlap table cloth off the kitchen table. I cut a few triangles from a scrap of burlap and wrote on them with permanent marker, hot glued them to some jute, tied them on to the window and added some ribbon in just a few minutes! I dug through my rubber maid of flowers and threw some left over from a garland that I had taken apart in this tin.

These candlesticks were a wedding gift and have been hiding out in the garage because they were black and I wasn’t loving them. They got a quick coat of cream spray paint and I hit them with a sanding block!

I got to play a little moving things around the rest of the house too! It needed a good re-arrange and re-vamp!

My baby is turning 3 tomorrow! Wow how time flies! We will be kickin’ it at the slash park if it is warm!

Be back later~! Amanda
