Well now, we have been buuuuuusyy! When we moved into our new place we realized how great this apartment is and that we could settle down into it for a while. We actually have more sq. ft. than we did at our condo in Saratoga Springs, and its pretty worry free, its in a great area, and there is no way we could leave our ward. So we decided that we would buckle down and make the inside of it feel like HOME. So we were trying to figre out how to add some color to what we had. We had a lot of brown and black stuff but hardly any color. So we added a few accents here and there, but then we got inspired by a cool blog and decided to get bold. We started with finding an end table that we badly needed. We found an awesome one at savers for $10. Yup, $10. Gotta love that.
Project #1, here we go yellow.
Then we added some accent and antique to it with some glaze. It turned out pretty good.
Next on the agenda was our coffee table. We found it a few years ago and thought about re-doing it because it was beat up but never did. Now here is where we got bold. We saw this cool color called ocean breeze so we though we would give it a try.
Again we used the glaze on this table to give it some charecter. We really like this table now.
I also tried this little technique on this little thing that had some flowers in. I like how the glaze makes stuff really pop out.
Here it is all done on top of the book shelf. Im loving it.
Our family room is just about complete. I will put pictures of it totally done later.
