Living in Austin, I receive a lot of requests for smaller furniture because there are a ton of old houses and college students. A cute little telephone table is a must have for those tight quarters. The drawer is functional.
$39.00

Imagine a Saturday morning as a kid watching cartoons in the middle of the living room floor. Many of you will remember watching on one of these.
When a sweet lady offered this outdated TV set to me, I immediately thought of the one I had pinned on Pinterest. YES!
I started by gutting and ripping out all the parts to what used to be a working TV when it was placed in my possession.
A moment of silence while a few of you yell at me...
Ok back to the destruction. Here are a few pictures of some of the guts that got ripped out.
Then the painting began! I painted two coats on by hand then three coats of spray paint. Ahhh I love white paint on almost anything, clean, crisp and timeless!!!
Shelves were added and then the newest paint color I am obsessed with (Fish Pond by Behr), burlap and a new knob. Voila here's the final piece.
Come see her, I've named her Jennifer because it was the most popular girls name in 1984 at Wimberley this weekend! Booth 189.

Even before Hashtag began, I loved fabrics. There is an old crate on the top shelf in my closet with the softest, oldest, vintage fabrics that I have fallen in love with over the years. The little old lady inside of me had to have those worn hankies, remnants, and colorful delicate tablecloths. Never planning to use them, just loving the fact that they are mine.
I got so excited when I was invited to the Austin Fabric Shop Hop 2014. Eight fabric stores in the Austin area participated. They offered special discounts, freebies, and tons of "high fives". I promise you when I say I touched probably 80% of the fabrics I saw today. So much inspiration flowed thru those patterns and textures. The windows below were my first projects with my new finds and tons more to come.
Old Green Window $75
Burlap Garland $25
Hey there Allie girl... #masterbedroom #makeover #diy

Allie found us through our ad on Craigslist...lets hope Craigslist never starts charging! She asked us to come and help her redecorate her master bedroom. She had collected multiple pieces of furniture over the years and was ready for a cohesive look. We set up a time to meet with her in her space to get a feel of the land and for her to explain what she really wanted...45 minutes later I was dragging her old furniture to my car to take it home to give them new facelifts. I screamed over my shoulder, "so we got the job?"
Her room was a really good size, which gave us tons of options for ideas! We decided a sitting space was needed and lots of storage...yeah, she is girl. Allie loves her puppies, so we wanted to make sure we had photos of the pooches in her room. Filling the rest of the room with a combination of new decor and her personal items made her room like "home". Job well done in my opinion.
