I Painted The Craig's List Hutch!

 Happy Monday!
Remember my Craig's List hutch ?
I painted it! A couple weeks ago I painted it off white with Rustoleum Chalk Paint.. I left the top and back wood ..
 I bought new wrought iron looking knobs at Hobby Lobby ..
 I have it all decorated for Spring .. we are figuring out how to add lights to all the shelves.. I like it all lit up :)
 I planned on using dark wax to dirty it up .. but it made it too dirty .. so I used dark glaze and a small paint brush in all the cracks and detailed areas .. also on all the edges so it looks worn .., and vintage




 Don't you love this cake plate filled with baby ducks a nest and some flower picks ?
On the top I have some spring flowering branches ..some Lambs ear ..a vintage picnic hamper ,, an ironstone soup tureen and a lantern .. Seasons in Chalk art Spring hangs on the wall ..

Americana and Snowy Tree

 Good morning!
The other 2 trees in the family room are the American tree and the snowy tree..They are on the sides of the Craig's list hutch I got last month...
 The snowy tree is a 4 foot tree that I have sitting on a vintage picnic basket .. I added white lights and stuffing for the snow...
 red and white berries, snowflakes, and another picnic basket standing up to hide the stand..
Ronnie on her perch...

 the Americana tree is filled with all things red, white and blue...

 Flags and a metal star for the tree topper... red gingham ribbon woven through the tree and some wood star garlands...Instead of a tree skirt I found this flag painted board at a church rummage sale this summer and i fits perfect!
I love this area of the family room ....and can't wait to get the hutch painted!

A New Hutch from Craig's List!


Good morning!
I have wanted an open shelved hutch for my family room for a while.. I would search Craig's list every day !  I was even looking for a hutch that I could take the doors off for this same type of look .. no luck with that either! 
and then 2 days ago I finally found one! 

So ..I am not crazy about the color or the knobs but after Christmas that will all be changed! My husband took me to pick it up yesterday ..we got it set up and I went right to getting it all set for Christmas! I think it will be painted cream with dark wax. 
The view from my stitching chair .. I added 2 strings of white lights ...a couple glitter houses..some of my Department 56 Santa's and of course cross stitch!
 I take the battery packs out of the houses and stuff the Christmas lights in the hole..
 This little tree filled with miniature Hallmark ornaments ..nestled in a white enamel pan we found at the flea market for $1.00... I used to sit at a desk in this spot to write my blog.. my desk is going upstairs and I can't event ell you how happy I was to find this piece!
 I can't even tell you how excited I got to come down this morning and plug it back in!

My first Craigslist shopping !

 Hello and thanks for stopping by ! I see all the time in blogland how people get great deals on Craigs list ,so last week I went looking and I think I found some great things !Since we widened the doorway into the kitchen ( from both the dining room and foyer ) our eat in kitchen part is smaller . We had a rectangle table with 6 chairs. I was looking on Craigs list for a round table with a leaf and 6 chairs , and I found this one ! I liked my chairs better so I kept them and just switched out the table. I thought I was going to have to get rid of my hutch so on Saturday I also bought a corner hutch. With the new small table I can keep my old hutch..( I need a new rug that doesn't hang over into the doorway ) I am thinking a round one ?
The table has the big pedestal base just like the one I love from pottery barn. I am going to paint the hutch and the table and chairs white. ( my husband is trying to get me to keep the top of the table wood) I like the whole thing white.. so we will see :) Below is the table I love from pottery barn. Looks the same except it is $800.00 !

 We decided to put the big curio cabinet back in the living room ( I still need to fill it) and put the couch up against the windows. This was how it was pre remodel. Seems more like home :) We still need a coffee table , more on the walls and a dining room set !
 This is our garage at the moment ..Furniture city ... Those are the chairs I got with the round table on top of our old kitchen table and the old  dining room table. we are going to try and sell the old dining set and kitchen set on Craigslist.
 This is the corner cabinet I bought and was going to paint white..It might still go into the kitchen if I decide to get rid of the bigger one , or maybe down the basement in my craft room.. I paid $ 80.00  so I think I got a great deal.
 Puffy flower balnket progress .. Ive been just using up one skein of yarn at a time for the flowers , thats why theres so many of certain colors and not enough of others.. I am working on the two darker aquas right now.

 More stocking progress this week,,, and for once no ripping out :)
These are the drapes we are going with for the living room. They have the grays from the carpet and walls and the burlap color from the couch and chair. I found them at Lowes ..Love them !

Thnaks for visiting and your nice comments ! Hope you all have a wonderful week!
