A new seating arrangement

Happy Monday friends!! I hope you all had a great weekend. Our's was busy...we had family visiting which is always fun and we had plenty of snow that needed to be shoveled from the 14inches that dropped on Friday into Saturday morning.Family left to go home this morning, now it's time to clean up and get all the laundry done:(
 
When my cousin gifted me that beautiful grandfather clock you can see here I needed to move some of my seating around. The two chairs that I had in front of  the large window were moved to the side wall in each corner, if I didn't move them it would have looked to crowded with the clock in the corner.
Here's one in one corner... 
 ...and here's the other. It's on the same wall in the other corner. The french chair that was in this corner is now in front of the window near the skirted table. Bare with me guys... I'm confusing myself a bit... LOL!
  I'm liking the new arrangement. I want to paint my coffee table to give it a more casual Country French feel, any suggestions on what color I should go with? I was thinking maybe a green? 
 Looking in from the dining room.
The new arrangement is even a better fit for conversation when entertaining with friends. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a super week!

Armoire & Nightstand in Graphite

Moving right along with Mackenzie's bedroom makeover. I finished the armoire and the nightstand, just one more piece to go and then we can get started on the walls! Annie Sloans chalk paint in Graphite along with the dark wax is what I used on these two pieces.
 Here's a before of the armoire...
 And now the after...
 
 I can't wait to see these pieces up against white walls. 

 LOVE these knobs I found in Hobby Lobby!
 I just distressed around all the raised panels and
 moldings to make them stand out.
  And here's the nightstand done, I used Pure White on the drawers to break it up a bit.
 
Added the pretty knobs from Hobby Lobby on this piece too.
I love them!!
Here is a little peek of her new bedding my mom bought her for Christmas from PB Teen. She let her pick it out. I think the newly painted furniture is going to look great with it.

We both can't wait to say bye bye to these pink walls! 
Hopefully the hubs and I will get the painting done next week & I'll have a full reveal soon! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I finally found one!

 The perfect lamp that is for my desk! I had this desk makeover finished by Thanksgiving but with the holidays and now my latest project Mackenzie's room makeover, I just forgot about adding the finishing touches. I still need to find a chair and have the hubs hook up my new computer.
 
I found this cutie last week in Hobby Lobby. It was $40 and was on sale for 50% off, can't beat that!  
 Look at her pretty burlap shade.


I didn't want anything to big and she's the perfect size.

~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!
