A Table for Six

One of the things I wanted to make sure we had before baby was more than 4 chairs around our table.

I spotted this chair at a local store a while back and have been watching it.

Doesn't match my other chairs perfectly but when I went in last weekend and they were on super clearance for $21.00 a piece I knew I could chalk paint them to match the table!!!

Can't wait to start the painting process!

One Tiny Ottoman at a Time

I am embarrassed to say it took me well over a year to find just the right fabric for this ottoman!

These two premier print fabrics go together so nicely!!

We love to snuggle up with the babies and read in this corner before naps and bedtime.

Sources:

Chair-ikea

side table-kohls

ottoman-had that thing Forevah!

The fabrics are premier fabrics prints. 

I do not think the stripe is available any longer. 

It was from a collection from 2012 I believe they retired to bring out some new collections.

Tablecloths and Styling: Wedding Edition

Just about this time last year a dear friend asked me to make some items for her wedding.

 

Of course I jumped at the opportunity.

 

Just wanted to walk down memory lane and show y'all how fun everything was.

Look at the precious sign she painted!

This was the entry table to the reception. 

And the gift table!

Love how this fitted tablecloth turned out.

I will be making one of these cloths for myself one day in the near future.

A long view of the reception hall and food area.

 Fringe burlap cloth for the groom's cake

 Simple burlap runners for the reception tables!

 And the piece-de-resistance

The Wedding Cake Table.

 It was so perfect and complimented her cake beautifully!

How fun was this tent??

 

Such a great wedding and I am so thankful the bride asked me to be apart of her special day.

Ps. I am now looking for an excuse to use her band just so I can enjoy a fun night of dancing again!
Seriously they had sooo much energy and they got Everyone on the dance floor!!

Happy (Almost) one year anniversary Candace and Michael.

Thanks again for letting me help with your special day!
And again how perfect was this???



From Wash to Stain

Remember my post from a few weeks back about my wooden spool for our patio???
Out with the old in with the old??

Well I attempted to gray wash it and the wood just Soaked it up...

Second attempt I went out to the garage to discover I had a decent amount of stain left from working on our front door ;)

After a quick hour in amazing spring weather and Tada!!

Very excited to start dining around this table this spring!

Thank you Restoring Piece of Tuscaloosa, Alabama for such a unique piece!

Now time to style the table and enjoy a nice grilled dinner on the porch!

Look For Less: Clam Shell

Ever since I saw Sherry, at YHL use this clam shell as her fruit display in her kitchen I knew I needed one!

Here it is in their new kitchen!

Well I have seen quite a few of these guys popping up as the Nautical trend has seemed to really take flight!

Grandin Road $199 for the large

Ballard $129.00

Z Gallerie $59.95

I think I will stick with John and Sherry and go with Z Gallerie!

Everyone seems to be offering this item and the price range for virtually the exact same item is crazy!!

Hope to plant some orchids in here. We plan on picking on up on our trip to Atlanta in August!

Pardon the Silence

Tonight we are at the Third Day Concert!

Target: Threshold items

I know if you follow along on Instagram you have seen my recent target obsession!

From Nate to threshold they have really stepped up their game! Usually I find unique pieces at antique stores, local boutiques and Marshall's/ TJMaxx. Well now I can say target is in that category! Consistently for the past few months the items have seemed more high quality and one of a kind!

Do you agree?

Can't wait to go back and buy a few of these guys to accessorize for summer!





I think I may need these for the kids bathroom!!
