After 2 rounds of steroids from a spider fight, renovations on our 1928 new old house, and a whole summer with 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a handsome man in a studio size guest house, I NEEDED A BREAK! Won't even talk about the lighting in the bathroom. I reached out to other blogger friends to find out what conferences or events were happening this fall and found out about The Hundred Event.  Perfect.

One of the many questions about our new old house is: WHY FABRIC ON THE CEILING?

Uhm, yeah!!! Summer of 2013, Cody and I started talking about moving from South Austin to a place where I had more space to work and the boys could run.  I had already rented storage space for all my inventory and was tired of cleaning off the kitchen island to prepare dinner.  Not to mention the looks and little comments from the nicest neighbors.  They love the smell of spray paint! We decided spring of 2014 would be the best time to start looking for financial reasons and my business slows a little but then...so I thought...it never slowed. (Thanks to yall :) ) I needed an office to meet clients, open space to paint and some sort of storage for inventory....oh and within our budget! That's a tall drink order!  (is that the right saying?) So, we began the process.  Here are pictures of the house we sold.  

If you missed part 1 and part 2, you can go there really quick and catch up!! Vada's dining room is not apart of the main living area, so it provided a good opportunity to change the wall color. She wanted the space to feel open with cool, fresh colors. We choose Clear to See PX-0697 from Behr. The dining room chairs are from a local design shop. Kasey recovered the seats with fabric from Cowgirls and Lace, painted and distressed them.  With my snazzy wheelin' & dealin', we got a kitchen table and 6 chairs for a great price. Wheelin' & dealin' is simply asking. You would be amazing how much money you can save by just asking...and having me there! The table that came with this set of chairs was not the style we were looking for so you know what we did, SOLD IT! The two chairs on the ends are from Restoration Hardware...again, on a super duper great sale!!  Sometimes staying in your budget is not the most important but getting exactly what you want is.....when you can do both. Jackpot! The dining room table is from Pottery Barn Outlet. It was a display and had scratches on the top and it was perfect. We wanted a table that was worn and had character.  Added an enamel antique white paint to the legs to match the chairs and the room was coming together.  Side note:  that enamel paint will burn your nose hairs and make you see Elvis...open the windows for sure.  We had Vada's dog bouncing off the walls.  The shorter antique buffet serves as a great display for her grandfather's cash register and other knick knacks he passed along to her. The wall above the buffet is waiting for Vada's vintage rolling pin collection.  A project she wants to do on her own time. Gotta love it when your customer gets inspired and takes ownership. The wall art is very special too.  It was hand made by Jo Momma's Junk  who has booth at the Wimberley Market Days with us. The colors are amazing and Vada loves to have scriptures displayed in her house. On to part 4 ..... Photography credit: Bold Photography
