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!!

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 :)

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst

Dancing With Dad

I have been working on a project these last couple of weeks for my previous company. Yesterday, I was working on my computer and heard roaring laughter coming from Avery's room. I walk in and found Jason and Avery dancing and singing away.   By sheer coincidence, this popped up on my Timehop today. Avery was only 1 in this picture. Boy, are these kiddos lucky to have such a great dad! It makes me heart melt.
