Upcoming Projects

I’ve been on a project spree around the house lately. Once a can of paint gets opened, it’s so easy to keep on painting.

I’ve had some things lying around in the garage for awhile and a few curb side finds were picked up.

Like this beauty.

The ‘bird dresser’.

I started painting it this weekend and it’s looking fabulous.

But you’re going to have to wait for those after photos. Hopefully next week.

I got lots of projects to show you!!

Everyone has seen chairs like this at a rec centre or gymnasium.

I picked these up for a dollar each when I had my junking day with blogger friends in the fall and they’ve been sitting in the garage ever since.

Upcoming projects - old chairs

I love that they are stackable. On the weekend I spray painted the legs and this week I’ll paint the wood and perhaps add a stencil.

Most people would barely notice this chair on the side of the road, they would just pass on by.

Upcoming projects - 3-legged chair

But I have lots of hope for this 3-legged chair.

I’m going to get two new front legs so they match, paint it and reupholster the cushions.

The other day there was this antique table on the side of the road. The legs were all wobbly so I quickly unscrewed them and pushed it in the back of my car.

By myself.

I was on my way to get groceries so that was a challenge getting groceries in with this table.

But totally worth it.

I finally got a chance to head out to the RH outlet store with my friend Tanya last week.

We could have moved right in.

I’ll leave you with some pretty photos instead of ugly before photos.

    Love the shape and detail of the bird dresser. Looking forward to seeing the transformation.
    I’ve been doing a few projects in A.S. old white, then 2 coats of clear wax and bringing out the details in dark wax, then a light sand. Very pleased with the results. Have fun painting!

    Where did that bird dresser come from? It’s fantastic! I can’t wait to see what your paintbrush does to it, Jamie!

    And I remember those school chairs! I’m sure you’re going to transform them into something amazing!

      Curbside find, Tara! I love the transformation. And yes, those chairs were found on a hunt with you. We have to do that again soon. Miss you 😉

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Making your own pillow covers is easier than you t Making your own pillow covers is easier than you think! I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can! It’s an envelope pillow pattern so no zippers or buttons involved.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it ha Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it hard to also be a person that is organized and hates clutter! I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
