My Dads Greenhouse, A Chair Makeover, and a Winner!
Hello!
Happy Monday!
And Happy 2d day of Fall!
I know most of you are all so excited for fall; cold weather, pumpkin spice lattes, sweaters, and boots. I however, Love summer and am sad to see it go. Don't get me wrong, Fall is beautiful, I'm just a summer girl.
Anyway, So first up, it's time to announce the winner of my giveaway for the Rachel Ashwell Couture Prairie and Flea Market Treasures book.
Thank you all who entered.
And The Winner is....
Congratulations Samantha, I know you will enjoy this book as tons as I do.
Second today, I wanted to share my dad's Summer assignment with you all.
My dad built this little inexperienced house, and has nicknamed it Quillabamba, after a luscious, colorful, Amazon jungle in Peru.
Because it represents a beautiful memory of peace and plenty where time just stands still. And the hope of a bountiful harvest.
My dad loves working in it and while he turns up "missing" and can't be found, everybody just says, "He is probably in Quillabamba!"
My dad is a retired contractor and is continually up to something. He re-designed the roof from the unique version as to get the first-class solar light as viable.
I notion it grew to become out so neat. As you could see, he has a large garden surrounding it, along side pretty colorful blooms.
I told him to expect Better Homes and Gardens to return a knock'n.
I assume it belongs in their magazine.
And Third these days, I notion I'd proportion a touch chair makeover I did.
Our home workplace is fully revamped, but before I submit the very last screen, I concept I'd percentage some things I did inside the room first.
I had this cute, old, chippy, green chair in the room, I liked it, but it just didn't seem to flow with the rest of the room.
So I spray painted it white.
This right here is my preferred spray paint of all.
But, I first painted it with the satin paint because I liked the coloration quality (blossom white)
But the finish was too flat. My boy's wouldn't sit on it because it was too scratchy.
So I sprayed it a 2d time with the Gloss.
I didn't distress it at all, I thought I'd let it wear on it's own. Although, I'm excited to see some of the old green come through.
The white chair now fits into the room lots nicer.
Ok, so stay tuned for more changes in our home office. I'm really excited to share it with you.
Thanks for preventing by using,
Emily
