a Spring Makeover~

i am in Desperate need of a makeover. in more ways than one.
i just spent over an hour reading up on one of my favorite blogs(kaseybuick.com).
love...love...luv it!
& some inspiration.
ok...gonna start with getting my hair chopped at the HairCuttery (yes...& i don't really care....its cheap)
then some sandpaper and paint will help with the makeover.
other than that, maybe beyond a little help at the moment.~



oh & here is what i did last night.

~Quotations~


"a single act
of kindness
throws out
roots in all
directions.
and the roots
Spring
up and make
new trees"
~Amelia Earhart

to Paint or not to Paint...that is the question?

i finally found a fireplace mantel & i love it....but do i paint it or leave it black?

navajo white...cottage white...off white...antique white....candlelight ivory
why are there so many!

it's Tuesday...garbage day~

                                               lOOk what i found in the garbage!
sturdy old little table.

i have plans for you....& it involves chalkboard paint.

oh, pathetic old cabinet what am i going to do with you. i've been looking for you for a long time, but didn't know you would be in such desperate need of repair. peeling veneer & wobbly old legs. how am i going to fix you?

and you...you are the ugliest of them all.

i love this saying! saw this in a PotteryBarn catalog & had to have it, although it was NOT for sale, just a prop. So i googled it, of course...found it (yah!), but it was way too much $$$ (not yah!) so i kinda made it...my way.
