It's a "Before" Kind of Day

You know, some days just seem perfect for new beginnings!  
Today is one of them.  
The whole summer is ahead of us and there's SO much to be thankful for!

In the spirit of the "befores",  here's a glimpse of my ever-growing summer project list!
I don't even have a vision for all of them yet, but I feel SURE it will come.

The first two are little treasures I picked up at my FAVORITE thrift store!  I've never spent more than $10 dollars on anything :)

First a PERFECT little tufted chair.  Eventually it will be GORGEOUS with fresh new fabric, but for right now, I think I might try round 2 at painting upholstery!
Take a peek at my first painted chair here:

Somehow Little Huck doesn't seem to mind the new chair just the way it is:



Next up...
The perfect companion .... a sweet little brass tray with folding stand.




There's LOTS more fun pieces, but I just have to show y'all the two last rooms in our house that have been left untouched.  
Just begging for a makeover. 

Now, I swore I was just going to leave them and forget they are even there...turn them into a "storage room" in my head of sorts.
  But it's not working.  I dream about how to make them pretty ALL THE TIME!

Just so you don't think I only show you the staged and perfect pictures and in the name of full disclosure, Here they are:





See what I mean about storage rooms? 
Who knows what's hiding down there these days.
BUT...
These rooms could be GREAT!  
They lead right out to the lake with gorgeous views!
A diamond in the ROUGH for sure....

They might not come together as quickly as I would like.  Who knows, I might not even finish before the leaves fall, but there's a lot of GOOD stuff in between the "before" and the "after"!

Wishing you all a beautiful summer filled with projects, lazy days, suntans, BBQs, and even a few paint splatters :)

Leaving you with some glimpses of the things that, to me, make summer so magical!







CHEERS!
