Furniture Redo and Some Bedroom Ideas

I wanted to show everyone what I've been working on these last few evenings....



This table has had a time of it...looks like it's been moved a few times, huh? While it's not where it needs to be yet, I did want to show you how it went from this (man, I need a new camera phone):







To This:




To THIS!!

I feel like I've been painting everything a plain black or white lately. Mainly because that's the paint I have. But, I just haven't had any other ideas and the more I am redoing furniture, the more I can't stand looking at some hideous piece of furniture, knowing I could make it look better but don't because I don't have the perfect color. I can ALWAYS paint it something else, so I just do what I have available for right now.

There are a few projects I have in mind this weekend for chalkboard paint. Luckily, that can costs about $3.50 and I can probably get a couple of projects done with one can, so that will be awesome.

Next up:

My bedroom. I've been dreading this for a while because the furniture is going to take a while to paint and there is really no where to take it, so it's going to have to be in our room as I redo it. NOT looking forward to that at all. Here are some ideas I've had for the space. I am going to do my furniture black because that is what my husband would like. I am going to paint the brass handles that are already on the dressers silver. And I've always wanted a very serene room, grown up looking room: 

So, here are some of my top ideas:

But I kind of like this (not too wild about the leaves, but I like the colors):


But I also kind of like this:


Any thoughts??

The table looks great! Pick a bedding that will hide baby stains a little better. :)

I love that table!


My pick would be the blue sheet set-but that's only because I LOVE bright colors :)

I will tell you that my hubby and I ended up with black sheets(which everybody thought was really weird!) because we have two black cats who shed horribly. But we love our new sheets and our cats so it works perfectly :)

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...
