Kitchen Furniture

I know, Right? It's unheard of, I totally painted our hot tub!  Well, technically I didn't paint the actual hot tub, but I painted the hot tub surround.  But still, I've never heard of anyone who has painted their hot tub before, have you?  But I'm guessing if you own an old hot tub like ours, then you will be wanting to paint yours after seeing this. Okay so here is our hot tub before, it was looking pretty worn down.  All I did was brush down the hot tub surround with a small broom to remove any cobwebs and dirt.  Then I painted it with a high quality Exterior paint and a paintbrush. Now this was paint I already had on hand, which as you may have notice it's the same paint I used on our front and back door. The color is called 'Night Scape' by Valspar and you can find it at Lowes.  I knew it would look great on our hot tub surround because the hot tub itself is almost the same color. And here is the After:  It looks so much better! Please don't pay ...

 I don't know about you, but I love rattan furniture and I have always been drawn to it.  Well actually, I love Wicker, Rattan, Bamboo, and Sea grass. It all has a hand crafted, tropical look that meshes so well with the rest of my easy going, beachy boho style. So when I first laid eyes on this rattan mirror from Target, it was Love at first Sight and I knew I had to have it for our mantel.  Then later when I found this matching coffee table at a thrift store I knew it was meant to be. Fate brought us together. However, I soon grew tired of the orange color and wanted to give both pieces a new look.  I first tried to stain the rattan thinking a pretty weathered brown would look amazing.  But come to find out, you can't stain rattan. Well at least I couldn't because this furniture had some sort of glossy finish to it that the stain wouldn't adhere to. So I knew spray paint would have to be the way to go. I found this Camouflage spray paint from Rust-Oleum that I...

 As I've mentioned plenty of times before I love to go camping. My family and I plan several camping trips over the summer months. There is just something so relaxing about being out in nature, surrounded by trees, swimming in the lake, feeling the fresh mountain breezes, sitting by a campfire, star gazing, and crisp cool mornings. Just this past weekend we got together with a bunch of friends and we all went camping by a lake here in Idaho. It was so much fun. We are already planing another camping trip soon. What about you, Do you like to camp?  Are you camping people too?  Well, if so, then you are going to love this new decor I just got from Pavilion Gift . This "There's No Place Like CAMP" rope handle door stopper is not only handy for keeping the camper door open when entering in and out, but it also works great as a paper weight. I had it placed on the picnic table to keep the tablecloth from blowing away. It was also perfect for holding down paper plates and ...

Hello, I hope you are having a great summer. We sure are, but it's also been a busy one so you may have noticed that things have slowed down a bit here on the blog, but I did want to pop in real quick and share this sign I had made for our entryway.  You may have seen it already since I had originally shared it over at City Farmhouse a while back, but in case you missed it, I wanted to share it with you again. And in the meantime, in between my blog post, you can always find me on Instagram and Facebook . So be sure you are following me there so we can keep connected. To make my sign, I first started off with this old sign that I had made years ago.  I had made it out of an old cabinet door that I bought at Re-store for a dollar.   Cabinet doors make great signs because they are a good size and they usually have a trim boarder around them. This one here even had a cute bead board look to it. Re-store is a great place to buy old cabinet doors, but if you have, or know o...
