These are not in any particular order because... well... I'm just not that organized yet! Sorry guys, I'm getting there! At least I've got a list, so thats a start - right?
1.) Painted Outdoor Rug
Ok guys, so I am very excited about this one! I follow a very popular blog called {Addicted 2 Decorating} and she recently posted about a DIY outdoor rug. I am ALL about painting anything I can get my hands on. I paint furniture, art, walls, fabric, you name it. I guess thats just the artist in me - give me a brush and I'm off! I have been wanting to paint a rug FOREVER, but never found one cheap enough. Well, I will let you know that {A2D} has found the CHEAPEST rug at Home Depot for only $17! ahh I was jumping up and down when I saw this. I have already ordered 2 of them for my patio and hope to get them in soon. Make sure to check out her post {HERE}. And below is what I'm going to paint mine as. Of course, nautical navy stripes. What else???
As you might have seen from some previous posts of mine {HERE} & {HERE}, I have some yellow painted chevron curtains hanging in my formal dining and living room. Now didn't I tell you I will paint anything I can get my hands on? And yes, I won't count curtains out either. This will be a fun post because as long as you've got some patience, it will be super easy. Anyone can do it - no problem:)
3.) Outdoor {Hand Painted} Nautical Table
This project actually turned out much better than I anticipated. So much so that I really don't want to put it on my porch. It's actually sitting in my living room right now because I don't want it to get weathered... Oh boy. I'm silly. But yes, if you are into nautical or navy as much as I am, you might enjoy this side table makeover. This table was actually built by my dad and I many years ago out of an old cabinet door and some old posts as legs. I just might have to write up a little how-to on that as well:)
And here she is before her makeover! Man, looks like I've used that dropcloth for a lot of projects!
You might be asking yourself... why is she posting a picture of an another old dropcloth? Well, well, well my friends, this old {paint stained} dropcloth will be used for the makeover as well. Yes, paint stained and all!
4.) Vintage Frame Makeover
My sweet sweet mother-n-law gave me an old vintage frame that she found in the garage a few months ago. It was brown and not quite my style. With just a little paint and fabric, I transformed it into something more my taste.
Here is the before - this was taken before my {Laundry Room Makeover}.
5.) Backyard Additions
I posted a few weeks ago about my {Porch Makeover}, but even since then I have changed it up a bit. I know, I know... It's only been a few weeks and I've already mix it up again. What can I say?? I like change every now and then;) I mean, everything can always improve, right?
We also have been in the process of adding "fluff" to our pool area as well. And by "fluff" I mean furniture, pillows, flowers, etc.
Below is one of our {unfinished} additions - a side table that will be used between our layout chairs by our pool. This thrifty find was also found on {A2D}. Found at Home Depot for $14!
So I hope you are looking forward to my lineup! Those are just a few of the projects I will be posting - there will be even more than that, so don't miss out! Happy Wednesday everyone!
I am so excited to see what else you have coming. Your style is amazing and photography beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more projects!!
