Yet Another Clean-Up

So like I've said before...I can never keep my sewing room clean! I can't blame it on not having enough space. I'm sure if I had all the space in the world I would still find a way to make it look like the room just blew up! I have been trying to do better lately.

I spent an entire day on attempting to make places for things. We are moving soon, so we aren't doing anything major in the way of re-vamping, but I tried my best. Here are a few pics of the little nook in my sewing room that loves to collect things. We'll see how long I can keep it this way!

Fresh Designs

Justin and I are still on the hunt for a house. It is a fun and exhausting process all at once. We look forward to finding one soon! Always love looking for fun decor ideas. Love these cheery designs...

White As Snow

I am so excited about the warmer weather, but the snow was so beautiful last week! God is so amazing! I was driving home and saw these gorgeous scenes...I just had to take some pictures! I called Justin and told him he had to grab the camera and hop in the car. We went on a mini adventure trudging through the snow to find the best shots. It was so fun! I'm so glad he likes to be spontaneous with me.

Old Treasures Re-Vamped

I have always loved revamping old things, whether it be clothes, decor or furniture. I guess I've re-discovered that by having to be inventive if I want unique furniture in our home. I've also had the opportunity to work with Sharon Taylor of sharontaylordesigns.com. She's opening an adorable little shop this month featuring re-vamped furniture and decor. I have learned lots through working with her.

My mom is a very talented Woman who knows how to do just about anything. She's taught me lots and I have loved working with her on a few projects of my own lately. Thanks mom! My sister in law helped too...thanks Becky=) Becky also re-vamped an amazing couch. She transformed it into the most beautiful piece of furniture. I'll try and get pics from her. I don't have pictures of the chairs that we recovered yet. I'm saving them for our new house. I'll post them as soon as we move!

Here are a few pieces of furniture that someone put lots of love into. The first few are before and afters. Thought they might inspire you like they did me.
