Our Home Tour over @ Debbiedoo's

 I'm over at Debbiedoo's today. I was so honored  when my dear friend Debbie invited me to be part of her home tour edition!

I've never posted a full tour of our home before, so I hope you'll pop on over to Debbie's  and come along on the tour:)

Filling an empty spot

I had an empty wall in my living room that needed

to be filled and this is what I came up with.

 I bought the frame in Hobby Lobby for 50% off so I only paid $20 for this beauty. The plate I had. I actually have 2 more, I bought them in Country Curtain last year.

A few night shots.

Love the patina.

Found one more while I was browsing and thought it was a good size for layering, I just scratched it up a bit. This one was only$12.

Gotta love Hobby Lobby with there 50% off sales! Hope your all having a great week!

Debbiedoo's Copy Cat Challange

I took my copy out of the spring/summer 2010 Country French magazine. To date that is still my favorite issue. LOVE this whole room! I am coping the coffee table vignette.

Just bought the tulips yesterday, in a day or two they will start to droop just like the flowers in the picture. Already had the pottery, books and blue pieces.

                       

 Well that's it for my copy, can't wait to see yours! Thank you Debbie for always hosting this fun party! Now head on over to Debbiedoo's and join in on the fun!

A tale of a table

 I bought this table from Home Decorators about 5 years ago for our sitting room. I didn't want anything to expensive since my kids live in this room, especially my son and his friends when they play video games! This was how it looked before I took a paint brush to it.

 Then it went to this... I used AS Old White

 I just ordered a new rug for this room, so I figured it's the perfect time to change things up a little. You know what that means... out comes the paint brush, and this table was first on the list.
 Here's it's new look...

 I used AS Coco (love this color)! I didn't want to distress it heavily so I just distressed the details to make them stand out and a little around the edges on the top.

 Love how the old white comes through along with the original color.

 It doesn't stop here!

 After bringing it back into the sitting room it just didn't seem right to me. This is a very casual room and the piece looked to perfect. So out came the sander again! I know this look might not be for everyone but it goes with the style of the room so much better now.

 I sanded it until I got a layered worn look.

 Love it! 
Boy this sure was a long post for just one little table! Hope I didn't lose anyone along the way:)
