Kitchen Furniture

As I'm cleaning up my picture files today (which I'm trying to get into the habit of doing at the end of each month) I realized that there's quite a bit of things that I didn't get around to posting about. And truthfully, this is the case at the end of every month. So many projects remain unshared for one reason or another. And So I have decided to create a new series that I'm calling, End of the month randomness. Here I will share some behind the scenes, project fails, and some of my life moments. Let's get started! So you saw my porch right after I painted my front door, Right? But what I failed to share with you are those two black pots on the porch stoops. Before they were green and looked like this: Not bad, but they didn't go so well with the new door color and so I spray painted them in a flat black paint. But because they were already potted and I wasn't about to pull my plants out, I came up with this idea to cover the plants with grocery sack...

Did you catch my post on Monday?  If not, head HERE first to make your guess on which color you think I painted our front door and then come back over to see if you are right! So what color do you think I picked? Like I said, they are all great color choices. I actually liked All of them myself.  Perhaps I will be painting our door again in the future. But for now, I'm loving our new door color, and that color is................ Color Pick #1 OBSIDIAN  Using the Olympic paint color visualizer really just gives you an idea of a color. The color in person is always a bit different than how it looks on screen.  This color actually has more blue in it than how it appears on the Olympic website. This color is also brighter in the daylight. I painted the backside of the door as well, and from the inside of our home the color looks much darker. Anyway, color can be a bit tricky, so to give you a good idea about this color, I took these pictures on an overcast day and then ...

Did you happen to catch my blog post a few weeks ago about my  Denim Sofa Love ?  I have wanted a denim sofa for years, but as you may know, I have this white  Ikea Ektorp sofa.  Okay, now don't get me wrong, I LOVE my white sofa, it's just that sometimes I want to change things up a bit, especially for the changing seasons, and denim just feels so fitting for fall. At one time Ikea carried a denim slipcover for this sofa, but I wasn't  quick enough to get one and it has since been discontinued. Back when I got my sofa years ago, a blog reader advised me to pick up an extra slipcover for it.  The white slipcovers only cost fifty dollars, and it's just nice to have an extra set on hand while one is in the wash or whatever. SO because I had an extra slipcover, I decided that this could be the perfect opportunity to have both, a denim/navy and a white sofa.  Win! Win! So I went to my local Albertsons and bought two bottles of Rit Navy Blue dye and two bot...

It's no secret that I love to shop yard sales.  In fact, a lot of my home's decor was picked up from various yard sales over the years.  I just find so much joy in rumbling through other people's junk. It's seriously one of my favorite things to do.   Almost every Saturday during the summer months my mother-in-law and I go out for a drive to see if we can catch a few sales and I almost always bring home a few treasures . Today, I want to share what I've picked up at yard sales so far this summer. Let's start with my haul from last weekend: The spinning DVD tower has found a home in our basement holding Wii U games. However, I have a vision of using it at Christmas time to hang our Christmas cards on using clothes pins.   The metal Basketball court rules sign (which I got for free) now hangs in my boy's room. I love my new floppy white sunhat and have already worn it to the lake.  I like that it folds up and can be placed in a suitcase.  I'll be ta...
