new to me chairs

For years now we have been dining on hand-me-down mismatched table and chairs. I've nothing against used furniture nor do I want everything matching perfectly, but they've been ugly used and mismatched. I've plenty against ugly as far as furniture goes. ;)
Weeks after I had William, my three month old, my mother kindly bought us this very pretty, yet needing some paint, table and chairs. (The ones with the blue seats) I found the yellow chairs 4 for $15 at a thrift store last January. I added appliques and painted them all white (I am of the opinion that many things need white paint. ;) ) and recovered the seats in a very pretty oil cloth. The small yellow chairs got pink with white polka dots and the larger chairs got a floral cover. Both fabrics are from MODA and the floral is Seaside Rose by Three Sisters. I love them. I just need to give them some light distressing. So much nicer than the mishmash we had before. :)
The BEFORE:

Blue Bathroom

Here is some of the fruit of the crazy nesting I experienced this pregnancy. My friend Ruth was so sweet to give me the chandelier. My mother in law gave me the vintage piece of crocheted lace I used for the window treatment. The shower curtain is from Rachel Ashwell's Simply Shabby Chic line at Target.

another before and after

Here is the buffet makeover I did this summer. I bought the buffet off craigslist, http://craigslist.com/ for $50. We had to drive way across town, about 2 hours round trip, but it was worth it I think. :)

Sofa Makeover

So I finally decided to add something to this little old blog. I've been ignoring it because it I can't get the pink the right shade and I want to fancy it up but who knows when that will happen so here we go. :)

I thought I'd show off my recent couch makeover. I friend gave me this couch a couple years ago and I finally got the slip covers sewn. Above is the before and after (the white is the After ;0) ). Of course, now the room needs painting and I need to cover the glider and I need to hang some curtains and put something up on the wall and.........
