So after almost a year of being in our apartment, I totally have the itch to revamp it a little bit! I truly don't want to buy anything expensive, and love it as is, but just a few changes. I have been a tiny, little, bit obsessed with looking at decorating blogs. I've discovered I like the "Modern French" look. A few of my favorite blogs are:
See I already saw something I liked on there and just spent 15 minutes looking at it! Anyways my goals for our low budget revamp are:
- Paint our kitchen table and chairs
- Recover chairs
I'll pause right there to talk about my dream paint to use. It's called Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and again I'm not obsessed with it :) I would love to do Old White and then sand the edges to give a worn look. Where is Mrs. Cotton when you need her!
- paint the wanna be headboard in our guest room
That room is cute but so mix match. I'm not sure what color to paint it yet so I think I'm going to wait until we move up to Amarillo.
We tried the "turn an old door into a desk" idea but found that it wasn't very practical unless you bought glass to go on top of it....too expensive. We are now looking for just a simple table that is practical....any ideas? I want to have the desk area very organized and clean so Sean can study at it!
- Find a new desk and redo desk area
I'm so excited we can paint in our new apartment! It's such a good way to spice up a room inexpensively. What we need for in there is two side tables with lamps. I can even paint the side tables so really they could just be from a resale shop! I found some super cute lamps at target that I love so we shall see! Love these bases...these are from PB but the ones from Target look very similar!
Of course I love anything burlap...again these are from PB but they have less expensive ones are Target
Well those are just a few of my ideas....I'll keep dreaming :) If ya'll have any easy DIY projects please share them with me!
