Before & After!

Here's a sneak peak at my bedroom furniture! Found the entire set on Craig's List for $100... bed, dresser, desk, nightstand, mirror. Woohoo! I even talked 'em down AND eyed the truck in their driveway for delivery to my apartment :)

I thought maybe the original paint could be charming. Nope. In person it was just plain orange-stenciled ugliness. So I threw on some primer and white paint (sounds simple right? Did you know there are 3238272 different shades of "white"?!) And look how pretty! This make-under totally shows off the cool chunky metal pulls... I think those alone would be worth a hundred bucks!

Love me some Craig's List!

Happy Cookin'!



These ain't your typical red rooster kitchen pictures! I've completely ignored my current kitchen decorating-wise; but these have inspired me to make it cute in my new apartment :) Maybe that's why I never cook??

They're all from Etsy... "I Love Your Egg Beaters" & "The Glass is Half Full" can be found at Dazeychic's shop. And I have no idea where I found the sweet print of the girl at the table. I'll let you know if I remember!
