Can't wait to start decorating my house!!

So I found a Pottery Barn Outlet in my travels out in Amish land.  It's sad but I didn't even know they existed...So after digging through the clearance rack I came across this.  Two shams and a really soft burnt orange blanket.  I have been hoping to do a orange and blue theme for my guest bedroom and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. OMG I cannot wait.  The walls are going to be the blue you see in the pillow.  Also will be on the lookout for a nice fluffy downs comforter to make the bed look super inviting.  CAN'T WAIT to show you all the finished product...Stay tuned only 36 more days till I get started.

Cedar chest/bench for my entry way

Found this little gem at a habitat for humanity.  However it was pretty bad looking.

The inside however was immaculate pure cedar!!

Finished her today with the help of my loving husband.  I really hated the fake drawers so we actually found these decorative ceiling/wall plastic tiles from home depot.  They were a little pricey at like $20 a piece but they really make this chair pop, don't you think? 

My First Chair Project

I found this chair at a yardsale for $6.  It was a DIY project gone bad.  Fully equipped with gold stickers and hunter green tassels OH MY!!

I prime all my furniture first with white KILZ primer in a spray can.  Next I picked out a basic red from Krylon because their sprayers have a nice dispersion on them and it gives you a little more control. 

I use Ralph Lauren Glaze tinted with Black or whatever color you might want to tint it.  The glaze on the chair really just made the chair detail pop. 

I found this fabric online for $8 I believe for a yard.  Could have been cheaper but I have bought a ton of fabric lately.  I think I have a small addiction :)  Either way I never spend over $10 a yard on fabric as of yet.  This fabric was a canvas indoor/outdoor fabric so very durable!!

Brand New Blog!

Hey this is my first post and I wanted to create this blog to keep in touch with my friends all over the world.  This way they can stay in touch with me and my family and of course all of my fun decorating adventures and mishaps since I am sure I will have some!  However I am the worst writer so you all will have to please forgive me for my grammer and run on sentences.  :-P  So anyways keep in touch and keep checking back because we only have 36 days till we move back to the bluegrass!!! It honestly can't come soon enough.
