Today was one of those rare breezy Carolina summer mornings.
It seemed like the perfect day to make something beautiful!
Since projects are overflowing these days and our to-do list is growing faster than we can write it, I decided just to tackle just as many as a I could and dive right in!
First on the list?
HOME DEPOT RUN....
... to pick up some PAINT for the second bedroom downstairs.
Some days you couldn't PAY me to pick up a paint brush, but somehow today it just seemed FUN!
Remember this little pile of clutter?
Well....SOMEWHERE under there is hiding a GREAT little room with SO much potential!
I'm SURE of it :)
I don't know yet if this room will become a second guest room {with twin beds} or my office since I'm cluttering Michael upstairs office with un-read magazines, paint swatches, books for school, and sometimes even a shopping bag or two!
Regardless, I envisioned a pale PALE grey with some pops of yellow!!
I know, I'm a little late to this trend, but I just have to have a little of it SOMEWHERE in this house :)
First step? DE-CLUTTER!!
Before painting, I took off the old dingy blinds, washed the windows and . . .
SURPRISE there was a gorgeous view of the lake hiding underneath all of the cobwebs!
Looking better already!
Second step.... PAINT!
{Don't worry... I came back with an edger later....}
Speaking off? Have y'all used this little guy?
INCREDIBLE!
That's where we'll end on THAT room today... but I won't leave you hangin' too long.
Hint Hint: the finished product just MIGHT involve something like this:
(Like the rest of you, I'm in LOVE with Miss Annie Sloan and her fabulous Chalk Paint creation!)
I'll blog about it lots more later, but it's my new favorite for SURE!
In the meantime, one more little quick and easy project that can be done in 30 min. or less and is completely FREE!
Re-arrange those bookshelves.
I was tired of the clutter in the living room built-in, so it went from this:
To...
A much cleaner, more crisp after:
LOVE a quick transformation !
