I painted the peacocks and "Lumiere"! I'm thinking wanting some plum purple colored candlesticks for "Lumiere" or I want to paint him purple or something bold and use regular old candlesticks..I'm not sure yet! After a day or so I will probably walk by it enough to see what I really want to do with it...


Does have a for-the-better-change so far. But I'm really thinking I might want to paint it a different color...even black? Hmm...

Okay, now to the peacocks....that I L-O-V-E!



I love these little guys white!

For now, I have put them on our book shelf in the living room. (With my duck head book ends..which I also spray painted..) 


A step back for a better look...The aqua storage bin has got to go. I know. But, it is currently holding our Xbox controllers & Kinect games so it's staying until the bin gets replaces with perhaps 2 small woven baskets..

Another shot of the living room which is still a work in progress...


The frames..they still need to be filled properly! Some are empty, some are awful and then maybe one will stay..I'm wanting to do black & white photos & fill some frames with things like postage stamps or newspaper articles!

This morning, (After a little cleaning) I have been sitting here writing out my ideas & hopes for our dining room & living room & bedroom...okay maybe every room haha. But it's a good way to keep my thoughts organized and to not forget what we want to see our home become. Back to that for me & then I must go to actual work (my job) in the early afternoon. I hope you guys are having a good wednesday morning!
(I just might be posting a couple of my ideas in a bit, depending on how much time I have!)

p.s. sing along to have an even better morning :)






Our chair has been transformed and is now in our bedroom!





Just a few coats of color for about $6 and it's my favorite chair!
A few picture's of it in our bedroom...

Our bedroom is coming along..slowly but it's getting there! I wanna start on getting a few shelves on a wall and a string of polaroid vintage photos..but more on all of that later.. :)

A Day Off=A Little Thrifting!

Found some "gonna-be-cute" items at the thrift store today!

Funny, I know but ever since watching Beauty & The Beast when I was little, I have wanted a candle holder with the three arms. (Like Lumiere)

Today, I found one! (& for only 3 buck-a-roons!)
Too bad mine doesn't sing & dance too...This guy coulda been famous..

Not as handsome as Lumiere, but I think it'll do just fine with a little love.

I'm always on the look out for figurines that can be spray painted and use for decor on book shelves, etc. Take a look at these two peacocks I got for 5 bucks! So $2.50 a piece ain't too shabby! Not digging the gold, but maybe a white or perhaps I will go bold with these little guys and throw a pop of color in a room!




On top of all these small treasures, I found a chair for our bedroom! 




$12 for a very sturdy, solid wood chair. 
*happy dance*
Now watch the boldness of color be shown in just a little bit! 
(And hopefully it turns out how I'm hoping! haha)

Now let the transformations begin!
