Dining Room and Kitchen Color Inspirations!

When shopping for my daughters paint last night, I came across this "Vintage Chic" color palette by Behr Premium. I'm thinking this might be the colors I go with in my Dining room and Kitchen, if not exactly, at least somewhere in this color scheme. I really like the way the pink, blue, teal and gray lavenders work together. 


I recently purchases 5 chairs from Goodwill and plan on repainting them. I was thinking of doing each chair a different color. Crazy idea I know, but it's being done all over by DIY gals and then I found this picture in a  new furniture online catalog. 


I'm feeling super excited, but I do need to finish my daughters bedroom, before I can move on to another room. I've got plans going for 4 rooms right now and my brain is overflowing!! I'm following my daughters advice and carry an inspiration journal with me at all times now.

Thrift Store Finds & Items to Upcycle!

On one of my recent trips to 50% off day at ARC, I came home with this bundle of goodies. 



The ceramic tissue cover and yellow flower hanging hook still had the tags on them. The other three item are excellent pieces for repainting. I'll be painting the frame a solid color, the vanity mirror will be painted and going into my daughters room.The birdcage I'm not sure where it will end up , but when I do get it painted and hung, I'll be sure to share.





On another day, I found these old, ugly candle sconces.  In just a few minutes, I primed them and repainted them black. They look great now and will be hanging on each side of my daughters vanity mirror. Adding a few sconces to the wall, is a super cheap way of adding some "drama" to a room.
