~White Tulips~

 I think by now you all know how much I love tulips, so as soon as I see them in the stores a bunch always comes home with me!
 Perfect for creating a new look on the kitchen table.
 
 I found this cute little cow creamer in Home Goods last year.
 
 Sunday is my mom's birthday but we're going to celebrate tonight being her birthday falls on Superbowl Sunday. We're taking her to a fabulous Italian restaurant in the Bronx, Frankie & Johnnies also know as The Pines. Anyone visiting the NYC area I highly recommend having dinner their!
Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall...

Another piece I can mark off the "to do list"
After painting the mirror I decided to hang it on the wall instead of reattaching it to the dresser, I think it looks nicer this way.
Can't wait for my paint to arrive so I can get started on that armoire!  
Again, I used AS chalk paint in Pure White and then applied the clear wax. I went a little heavier with the distressing on this piece then I did on the dresser.

 Now it looks complete! We're not going to add any accessories until after the room is painted, seeing we would only have to put them away.

 Mackenzie loves the new look and can't wait for me to get started on the next piece!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!

~Dresser Reveal~

One down 4 more pieces to go!! I am so happy with the way this dresser turned out, my daughter is too! I love the look of pine furniture, but this piece over the years started to get an orangey color that I was not diggin. The pieces in Mackenzie's room are our original bedroom furniture before we went and bought our new set in darker wood.

BEFORE:
AFTER:
 I used AS chalk paint in Pure White and waxed with the clear wax. I didn't want this piece heavily distressed so I just sanded around the edges of the drawers and this decorative fan that's on the middle drawer.


 I did sand a little heavier on the top for a worn look.
 Now I can't wait to get the walls painted!!
 One more before & after...
 Now that the dresser is finished I'm working on the mirror that goes with it. 
Here's a peek...
 Thanks so much for stopping by, have a super week!!

My weekend project

TGIF!! 
Here is a little peek at what I'll be working on this weekend. While waiting for my Graphite chalk paint to arrive I figured I'd start on another piece with paint I already had on hand (I'm impatient that way!!)
 Have a super weekend friends!!
