$7 Yard Sale Dresser

I got this cute little antique dresser for $7 at a yard sale a few weeks ago. I put in in my bedroom at first and then decided to bring it in the kitchen so I could see and enjoy it more. The bottom part of the hutch that was in this spot is in my laundry room and the top is in the attic. I'm sure you'll be seeing it again some time in the future. My mom said she may want to use it for awhile. The dresser already had this aged green finish so I am leaving it like it is for now. I try to avoid painting if I can 'cause it is a pain! The mirror was gone so I bought this fall fabric today at HL and just hot glued the edges onto a piece of cardboard and stapled it to the back of the frame. I am planning to change out the fabric for Christmas and whenever I want. A very cheap and easy project which is what I love! I am trying to come up with some kind of arrangement over it and on the sides. Not sure if the bunny tray is staying or not. It may go somewhere else. Hope y'all are getting some fabulous fall weather like we are here. Have a great night and a terrific Tuesday!

My Fall Mantel So Far

Here is what I have done so far to "fallify" my mantel. I want to make a banner to hang across the grapevine wreath. Maybe I'll get around to doing that soon. Hope y'all have been having a great week. Happy Thursday to you!

Some Fall Decorating

Here is some of the fall decorating I have done so far. Still got more to do and I'll show y'all when I get it done. Have a fabulous weekend!!!

Moving/Selling/ Buying Questions for You

I have some questions for y'all, my very smart and house savvy blogging friends. We are considering moving (in the same city) and since I have only done this one time before (selling a house and buying another one) I want some feedback on how the process should go. We have looked at a few houses, but I can't really get into it because we would have to sell our house before buying another and it isn't even up for sale yet. Do we go ahead and put it up for sale and see what happens? Not look at houses until we think we may actually sell ours? Go ahead and find some possible houses we want and just hope and pray they are still available when we can buy one? I am so afraid we'll find a house and then can't get it because ours won't sell fast enough. How do you get the timing right so it all works out? Just do a lot of praying?!

Changing my Kitchen Hutch Again

Y'all know me...always changing something around in my kitchen, especially Grandma's old hutch. I decided to take the top off and put it away for awhile and just use the bottom part. Not sure if I'll keep it decorated like this, but I love it with the 2 lamps. I may change the fabric on the window and the runner. I just decorated it quickly with what I had handy. I was also thinking of hanging some plates around the bunny tray. It is so fun making easy changes with stuff I already have. Y'all know that 'cause you do it too! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

My Patio Canopy

Hey y'all! So sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. No reason really, just kind of blah and too lazy to do a post I guess. I wanted to show you my new patio canopy we got recently on clearance at Target. I have been enjoying having some shade to sit under and read or just relax. It is nice to come out here at night and I love when it rains and I can sit under it. My husband strung up some Christmas lights around the inner top edge and it is so pretty when it is on a night. I like looking out from my living room window and seeing it lit up. Hope y'all have a terrific Tuesday and hopefully I'll be back again this week!

Adding a Flower to a Lampshade

I recovered this shade a while back in burlap and used black ribbon as the trim, but felt like it was too plain (I don't do plain folks, as you probably know) and needed something else. So, I opened up my craft/junk closet yesterday and saw this red flower and got an idea. I took the stem off and hot glued it on and a cute new shade is born. Not plain anymore!
