I've been slack. Real slack & I apologize!

... home sweet home...
in just a few short weeks
Procrastination has kicked in. Instead of packing (like I should be doing) I am finishing all the small projects that I've been meaning to tackle.... & I wanted to give you a sneak peak!
So what better time to start when moving into a new house?!
...Two years later....

... and I'm finally finishing the bottom half of my home office desk.
I have a bad habit of seeing something I love and saying "I bet Dad & I could do that"... and shoot off the idea to him. Well in doing so, 3 or so years ago I came across Shanty 2 Chic. These two sisters from TX created a site with free plans on all their projects! Needless to say, I've taken two of their plans and put my spin on them... thank you Shanty 2 Chic!
So nice of them right? If you haven't checked them out, you must!
...step into my future living & dining room...
I call this my clean slate, music to my ears!

So my 8 dining room chairs (that were found at an estate sale) have called my parents' attic home for the past couple of years. They are now out & about and getting a makeover! Let's just say that project was a family affair... Dad didn't know what he was getting himself into!
I'll have more details in posts to come, but for now, in case you were wondering where that darling fabric came from, check out www.overstockupholsteryfabric.com. The selection of fantastic styles & patterns is ongoing and the owners I must say are pretty fabulous!
Another procrastination habit is antique shopping.
I found these beauties ($10 for both!) at a small antique shop on our way to Black Dog Salvage. Who knew a road trip with your mother could be so much fun?! The burlap shades? $5 a piece at Family Dollar... I know, shocker!!

I've found that if you piece two things you love separately together, you just might end up with a one of a kind beauty.

My next favorite room in my house,after the porch, is the bar.
Don't worry Mom, my bar will be more than just a place for a cold one!
This room gets the perfect amount of natural light so my plans are to use this as my breakfast room/coffee bar/bar bar/a place where my Johnny Cash & I can hang out...
... Oh Johnny...
* * *
I just need to find my own Johnny Cash...
This may always be a work in progress, but it is my work in progress. Or my therapy.
... cheers to Wine Wednesday...
