Thrift Store Find

I found this wonderful chair at my neighborhood thrift store...I was so happy to find it because I was in need of a nice chair for my daughters desk that I purchased on craigslist.

They had an array of chairs but none of them spoke to my heart until I saw this one and it said "I am the one you're looking for!" the chair looks a lot wider in the picture then it is in person.

The chair must be an antique because it is small compared to today's dinning chairs and the craftsmanship and sturdiness of the chair is excellent and so was the price at $8!

Once I cleaned it up and spray painted and put on some new fabric for the seat it looked GREAT and as I suspected when I first laid my eyes on it.....It looked as though it was meant for my daughters desk!

Here is a close up of the detail of the chair I just love the lines on this little chair it is so feminine.

I love the chunky legs .

Here it is all wiped down and ready to be painted.

TaDa! here it is all painted and in it's new home and serving a new purpose.

Don't cha just think that it was made to go with the desk?

God Bless!

In My Nest: My Sweet Little Girls Room

I have been really busy around the nest this week....painting and spray painting and more painting! I am so done with painting that I don't want to see another paint brush or can of spray paint for months!!!!

Oh but I must endure some more spray paint in the name of decorating my bookshelf (I'll tell ya'll more about this in another post).

I am so happy to be finished with the children's room and I am so happy with the results...I just love my daughters room...ohhh but I also sooo love my son's room (I better take pictures before they destroy it!).

Here are a few pics of my daughters room .....Thanks so much for taking a look and God Bless Ya'll!

Yippie Ya Yay....Look What A Find I Found Today!

(Excuse the mess on the table...I had to clean out my side board table so that I could sell it and also so that I can get my great-grandma's dishes out so that I can display them in the cabinet.)

Oh my goodness I am just sooo excited to have found such a wonderful treasure!

While searching on my most favorite yard sale website in the entire world I came across this beauty right here. There is a story to tell about how it all came to pass but unfortunately I am pressed for time so I would have to tell ya'll later about how I came to find this sweet little china cabinet

I still can't believe how much I paid for it......can you guess? I bought this China Cabinet for $85 dollars!!! and it is solid oak and very sturdy and it fits perfectly in my dinning room (like it was made to be there) and my great-grandma's dishes look like they have been waiting for this china cabinet forever!

I'm one happy momma right now :-)

God Bless Ya'll!

I Don't Know Much About Table Setting But.....

I Don't Know Much About Table Setting But.....

 

It looked nice in these pictures (lol)!  I remember this day very well, I just had given birth to our 4th child in July of "05" and was so excited about having everyone over for Thanksgiving so that they could spend time with our new addition.  I did not have a complete dinner set and I had to mix and match dishes I had purchased the white dishes at our local grocery store in "00" and the other dishes were handed down to me they had belonged to my Great Grandmother. 

 I made the simple centerpiece using some fruit I had in the Frig, the glasses were spruced up with some old napkins that I had for awhile (someone handed it down to me).  WHOLA! a simple table ready for all my family and friends!  Did I ever tell you about the day we had close to 40 people show up at our home for Thanksgiving? Oh that is a story to be told for another time! 

Have A Beautiful & Blessed Day!
