Thrift store score!

Today was a good day of thrifting for me.  You know why, because I did not even plan it.

Went to lunch with  friend and then I decided to go to our local thrift store that supports the humane society. Love that place!

So I spied this little wood stool, and it was the perfect size.

You see we have been fighting over the computer lately in our home.  Not exactly fighting, because poor Mike has not much say, I just kinda take it over.

Finally we broke down and bought a new home computer and Mike can have the laptop. 

(this is just a cute little card Mike gave me some time back, I just smile every day I look at it!)

SO I thought I would make a little space just for Mike to putz on the computer when he wants to download his music.  I wanted a simple stool, low enough, and now I have to find a little table for him.

The before, rustic looking and all in great shape

Mike truly is No. 1 so I had to let him know it!

I painted it with some left over Duck eggs blue CHALK paint.

More fresh flowers, they look lovely in our romantic bedroom

I lightly distressed it to have the original color show through.  Now all I need to do is find Mike a cool little table for the laptop and he is good to go! Simple guy for sure!

Anticipation

It's keeping you waitttttinnnggggg....

Yes, It is and I am sorry...

But so far coming up with nothing over the bed. To be honest, we have not started the hunt. Too much going on these days to be out shopping.

I never did show you the other dresser and thought this will be the very last thing I show you until the full reveal.

I promise:)

I had this pretty bee picture for about 10 years now, purchased through Ballards catalog..I think it will go along nicely with my romantic theme.

This candle sconce I purchased a couple of years ago at Marshalls. I have two of them and they used to hang on my wall in our guest bedroom...I think they found a new home for now..

I heavily distressed this piece....This is the Chalk paint I have been using and love...After the paint dried I used the clear wax, distressed and then buffed the piece. That is where the real work comes in..but it is so fun and immediate gratification.

My husband was a little apprehensive that we could transform modern furniture to looks shabby french....

This is the second coat with just the chalk paint.

Pretty shabby French if you ask me!

I will take nicer pictures for the full reveal.

Just a collage to show you how it is all coming together in the romance department....There is something to be said for a bedroom makeover...that's all I am saying!!~

Have a wonderful evening!
