New Home Improvements

While we are still working on the dining room, I wanted to post pictures of our progress so far especially since Aaron's dad, Mick, visited and worked so hard to put this gorgeous color on the walls! Don't worry we are adding crown moulding to the top so he did not need to cut in! We bought this armoire in New Orleans before the hurricane. We plan to put some black and whites or botanical prints on either side. We bought the chair at Sears and got an AWESOME deal if anyone needs any!


I'm proud to say the entry way is mostly flea market, Target, and ebay finds ecept for the pottery which Aaron bought me for a birthday one year. The prints are from the Atlanta flea market and I didn't post them with our finds last month because I actually begged my mom to buy them for HER house! They were probably the best deal to date and she made the mistake of leaving them at my house for safe keeping until she could get them back to Kentucky! Ha! Thanks for letting me "borrow" them mom. She approved when she came to visit.
This vignette in the foyer is all Target (lamp on clearance!) and flea market as well. The reason I did not feature more of the table itself is because it is a $15 double filing cabinet for which we are going to make a fabric skirt so that I can file things as I come into the house instead of pile everything at the stairs. Works pretty well and keeps my work stuff out of our way.

Mick also painted our master bedroom so we will post that soon!

OH, I love what you are doing with your house. I can't wait until next year when we actually have a house and I can finally buy some quality things that fit perfectly!

I know how frustrating that must be! It seems like I have wanted my own house since I was 10! Its fun. I visit design blogs all the time. That is where I discovered Sears had those cheap and NICE dining chairs! Visit any time!
