Home projects before and afters

I know I'm really behind on my blog posts. But this home owner thing has us very very busy! Christmas break had us rebuilding a wall... yes I know that sounds boring. But this is the wall we wanted to mount the TV too. When we originally went to mount it months ago, we discovered there was one lonely horizontal stud behind the dry wall that was not going to hold the TV and the very heavy mount. We still have to paint the surrounding walls or I'd post a pic of that too. But man what a project and the only thing different is now we have a recessed shelf- all the work is behind the wall. But what a mess it was! So glad that's almost complete.

But as for my projects I've been doing some furniture refreshing. I found this little antique dresser at a barn sale a few months back and painted it to match my son's room.

I also picked up this set of dining chairs from a picker. I LOVE zebra print, but have reservations about using it in interiors. I was excited to find this muted fabric last weekend and decided it was a sign for me to give into my love.
