I love a good project but haven't had too much time to myself to complete them without the kids. Ryan has been busy with work and out of town but I'm determined to get everything done before we move, with or without the kids help!
My sister and I went "antique" shopping at a few places in town (still would love to go out of town and do this) while my mom put the kids to sleep. Nora has been impossible to put down and she thought she would give it a try at my house...which is another post but gave me an afternoon out with my sis.
We had a lot of luck! Sara found a kitchen table and chairs while I found two chairs for the living room to be reapolstired at the first place we went to. We went back to the next place to see if the sofa table for my entry way was still there. It was waiting for me! The price was $29.95 and had two little end tables underneath of it that were glued to the main table (three tables for the price of one!). It looked like a bad diy project gone wrong! We got up to the counter to pay and the lady told me it was going to be a little over $16! I asked why it was less and found out that all furniture was half off today!!!! They should tell ya that kinda thing when you walk in but regardless, I was beyond excited...and went back for more:) I found a bench that has a detailed back to it for Nora's room (she loves to read and I'm doing something special in both kid's rooms so they're extra excited to be in our new home) bar stools for the basement, and a coffee table, along with a few frames. My total for this stop was right under $70!
The kids were incharge of their own DIY project... Hanging Art for each of their rooms! I gave them a large stretched canvas and the colors of paint that will be in their rooms and let them create!
I think they turned out great!
The middle black color is chalk board paint-the kids have had the best time with this!
