Girls Shared Bedroom {Amy Butler Love}

I'm excited to show you my nieces shared bedroom update.  Sometimes when reading blogs or looking at pinterest I get totally overwhelmed and want to do NOTHING since what I see just seems impossible.  So with my brother's house I'm trying to focus on all the little changes that didn't take a ton of time or money but really improved the rooms!  Here is how the girls room turned out!

Shared Boy Nursery

I spent the last few weeks visiting my family and helping my brother and his wife spruce up their house a little.   I showed up when my sister in law was 38 weeks pregnant with their 5th child and she was really sweet and patient as I ripped her entire house apart!

My brother and I worked super hard to get everything done before the new baby came and we were hanging the last few things up hours before the little guy got home from the hospital!  One of the first rooms we worked on was the nursery.

The starting point for the nursery was this quilt that I bought on Etsy from The Tabbie and The Pea .  The fabric is Michael Miller's backyard baby .

How to Paint Wicker {Porch Makeover}

I've been wanting a wicker chair for my porch and love the texture wicker adds to a space but don't love the price tag on a new wicker chair.  Strolling through my local thrift store I found this wicker chair for $15!  It was dirty and the wicker on the legs was coming unraveled but I knew I could save it!

I started by giving it a good scrub down on a nice sunny day.  A vacuum and an old toothbrush can help get into the crevices.  Then I let the sun dry it out completely.

Spray Painting Metal Table {Porch spruce up}

I've been hard at work on my front porch. It's looked a little sad and forgotten since we moved in and not very welcoming. I made some little planters for by the front door. I also wanted to spruce up our little seating area. So much more welcoming now.

Stenciled Bookcase {Annie Sloan French Linen-Pure White}

Are you ready to see another furniture redo of a previous redo?  I know I can't be the only person that paints stuff and then changes her mind a few months later!  I've been reading the book Simplicity Parenting and have been trying to calm my kids rooms down.  Less toys, less stuff, calmer furniture, peaceful, serene.    I started by painting the dresser E ruined, French linen grey.  Then I painted her bookcase the same French linen grey with a Pure white stencil.  Love it!

Henrietta Chair {Annie Sloan chalk paint}

I found this great chair at Goodwill for $10.  I've been looking for the perfect chair for my entryway and loved the legs on this one.

The before was not too bad but I knew I wanted to paint it since I already have a couple different wood stained tables in that area.

I painted two coats of Annie Sloan chalk paint in Henrietta and then finished up with the clear wax.  I wasn't sure I liked chalk paint when I first tried it on E's bookshelf  a few weeks ago.  I loved the look of the finish but it is just so different than latex paint.  The brush strokes are more visible with it and the waxing is more work than the actual painting.  It is getting easier to work with as I get used to it.  The seat is recovered in some Anna Maria Horner Home Decor-the line is called Drawing room.  The purple in the fabric matches the paint color perfectly!

Annie Sloan Henrietta bookshelf {furniture redo}

Okay I'm going to admit something.  I am getting a little sick of pink.  All my friends promised it would happen after a few years with a girl but I doubted them.  I went from a house with three boys and no pink to an explosion of pink when E was born.  So I decided to add some purple and bought some Annie Sloan chalk paint in Henrietta.  Which come to find out is their version of pink.  I still say it's purple.  Love how it turned out.
