Remember...

I call this post "Remember..." since I have started several projects around the house and I am ever-so-slowly doing one thing for each project, here and there. I wanted to show you some progress on some of them.

Remember our basement bathroom remodel? Well, the colors of this decorative pillow really appealed to me so I decided to do a burst of some of these bright colors here and there. I haven't done any of that yet, but I thought to show you the pillow anyways because I think it's just so purdy!

I also decided to switch out the light green bath rug with this brown and beige one.

I still have to put my cream shower curtain here to finish the look.

Remember the light fixture that I purchased? Well it finally went up and made it itself a home to complete the vanity. What do you think?



Remember my great thrift store find, the three black press chairs? Well two of them are sitting pretty in my sunroom...for now at least.

We never got around to finishing painting the sunroom so hence the two random colors.

Moving on...

To the exterior of the house. Our front door looked really worn out and bland. It was a faded color of teal green and not to my liking. So we found some brick red exterior paint and voila. Much better and brighter.

(Side project - still need to spray paint all the gold fixtures and door handles)

And since we are outside, here is my little front porch. It's still a long ways to go before coziness and ice cold lemonades

Great thrift store find!

I found this black press chair - love it! And I think it's perfect the way it is, no new paint needed or distressing. It's the right amount of distressed :)

What if I told you that I paid $25, for THREE OF THESE? That's right, I got not one, not two, but THREE of these black beauties for only $25 total! If you do the math (or pull out the calculator like me =) ), that's just around $8 a chair! And they are in great sturdy condition. Woohoo!

So the possibilities of how to use them are endless. I could use all three to make a little dining room set for the breakfast area, or use them separately around the house. What would you do?
