Apollo

Apollo is our Little er.... Big puppy  . He was supposed to be our little lap dog. We were told he is a wiener dog / beagle mix . But the bigger he gets the more I think he is some other mix.

Table

When we bought our home I  found this at Goodwill for $9.00 ! We have a lot of really nice dark wood in our house so it didn't fit in too well. So with a few coats of black paint it fits in a lot better !

I love lamp

When Ryan and I bought our home our families were very generous to us. We got all kinds of wonderful things . My Grandpa gave us this lamp and I was not too thrilled with it. But it was a working lamp and free. So we put it in our back room and there is sat for the next year and a half. A few times I thought about just donating it , but decided to keep it. Boy am I happy I did !

You can't really tell from the picture but its gold with a discolored shade.

With help from some spray paint and a new shade here is the After:

I could not love this lamp any more  now !
Total project cost: $16.00 - a little more than I wanted to spend but the shade was worth it !

New light for the hall

After a very long creative slump I have got my crafting mojo back !  This was the light in our dining room when we moved into our home. We replaced the light in the dining room with one I found at a tag sale for $12. But I kept the old one just in case I would figure out what to do with it one day. Well the day came yesterday.
Here is the light  before :

Very out dated and old lady looking. Not really the vibe we are going for in our house.
After:

This fits in our home a lot better :)
Total project cost: $15.91 You can't buy a new light for that !

A little preview of our Garden.

We have strawberries! I am super excited about them - last year something came a long and eat every single strawberry we had .

A freebie Re-do !

I got this little Ladybug Sand Box for FREE! I am so excited about it! Our nephew Cameron turns 3 tomorrow so I though it might be fun to re-do this little  sand box for him. I think it would make a really cute toy box .
