My weekend project

Several months ago I decided to paint my kitchen table. The top finish was chipping off and the color really wasn't my style. It's an old wood table (with lots of charm) that was actually inherited from my husband's grandpa.

You can see the color in the picture below. The color on the left was what we started with. Sorry for the low quality pictures, they were taken from my cell phone.

A couple weeks ago a friend of mine was selling a set of reupholstered vintage chairs for a steal of a deal. They are a dark & light gray tweed with a beautiful cream floral pattern. I love them! I decided on dark grey for the table as I wanted it to help pull some of the dark color from the chairs and then I'll be able to pair it with a light colored centerpiece.


Here is the finished product! I'll share a better picture after I've styled it. The wall behind the table has nothing on it, besides crayon marks from a very creative two year old. That's my next project and I'm excited!

Home Decor - Owls

Quite awhile ago I bought these adorable vintage cast iron owls from Etsy seller Hellcat Vintage
Although I'm totally liking the orange/yellow 1970s color combo, I knew that wasn't the style that I was going for and wanted to modernize them a bit. The paint was also a little dinged up from 30+ years of use. (Just imagine all the homes they have lived in!)

I knew that I wanted them one color and I was kinda leaning towards white. I'm lucky that my husband has a powder coating business and one day he brought home a car part that he had coated in a metallic bronze color. I knew right away that was the perfect color for my owls and talked him into taking on the project. Check these babies out!

They are absolutely perfect. They look brown in the house until the light hits them just right and then they are a beautiful sparkly bronze. Next I'm going to talk him into redoing our cabinet handles and other metal fixtures throughout our house. It's a really practical way to reuse (go green!) and it also saves money. What more could a girl want?!
