A Little Fresh

I've made a few simple changes around here. 

Not big, 

not fancy, 

and I don't really know what I'm doing. 

That being said, I'll share (also, I am not a professional photographer, so no judging my not so awesome photos)

A friend of mine introduced me to Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  It.Is. Amazing.

This was our old TV Stand (actually, it was fairly new...I just hated the dark color)

So much better right?

I also added a cute green table runner.

This vanity was given to me before I was married.  I love it! I have always enjoyed doing my hair and make-up everyday on this thing.  Although, I have always disliked the color--it is a very old piece.  So I changed it.

So much better!

That was the old seat cover-gross, right?  Ben was a stud and took me to get new fabric and to Home Depot to cut out a new stool top.  Isn't that adorable?

These photos are not anything crazy, I just added a little color around here. 

Simple changes.

Above is the photo I took when we first moved in.  If you can see the counter tops-everything was dark and blah.

I've been into green lately.  So I added a few pieces to freshen my kitchen up a little.

(Above) Again, a before picture. Notice the wall, and the mantel. Yuck right?

Well, I work with what I have.  

Who has money to purchase a ton of new stuff?

Added a little green frame, put color photos in my existing frames, and spray painted my star.

Now if only I could figure out what to do with our old family photo??

Our new mantel.  I added white.  Frame from IKEA for $2.99 and Spray painted that other weird thing white.

Also, do you remember my old tan pillows (earlier photo).  I put $5 pillow covers on them from IKEA, and it really brightened the place up.  Especially with the super dark couches.

Just a cute corner of that wall.

Also -- added family photos in our entry way. I. Love. It!  Maybe it's just because it's pictures of my cute kids, but I just walk by and stare at them.  

Like I said, nothing fancy. I just needed a little change.
