Sneak Peek
My scrap pallet wall has brought me some unexpected attention -- from Apartment Therapy and Poppytalk! I was so surprised by it, but it was nice that people were inspired by mySo I am adjusting my vision for the living room. (ha ha, see how I said that as if I know what I'm talking about?) Thing is, I live on a very large lake in the middle of South Carolina. I want to feel like I am on vacation every day, and I want sort of a "rustic lakehouse" decor. This week, anyway.
This is my latest project, but it probably won't be done for a couple more days.
It started as a sweeeet orange-crackle-black-speckled-1979 buffet. (Guessing on the year, there.) Got it on Craiglist, and now it's almost where I want it. Pics in a few!
And I just want to say sincerely thank you!! to everyone who commented and became a "follow friend" this past week. I read every comment and was so tickled that people liked my work. I also want to say that YES, my ex husband is a gigantic fool, and not necessarily because I am awesome (although I am. hee hee) It's that I have 3 precious kiddos that deserve more than what they got. Hmph.
Carry on, kittens! ;)
you are awesome. that is all :)

ReplyDeleteI was worried it would be too dark too, but I think your room has enough natural light it looks amazing! I love that your dad says "it's better than hanging out in bars!" My husband always says, "Oh God, what did you do today?" I always want to scream and say,
ReplyDelete"who cares it was free...or close to!!" What are you thinking for new paint colors in your kitchen, I am anxiously awaiting to see them.
