spring has sprung…..in our backyard

17 Apr

herb shower

my father-in-law pino was here a couple weeks ago.

the weather was warm

and it was feeling like spring.

in the two weeks he was here, boy did we keep him busy (poor guy)

our backyard was looking a little sad and unattended

and pino insisted that we needed an herb garden, plus a couple fruit trees!

and that is just what happened.

me being about 5 months pregnant, i wasn’t much help

but i did have a lot of helpers.

(thank you family)

here’s a look at how things turned out!!!

… head of the table …

6 Aug

finally the day has come! head chairs for my kitchen table!

….. hooray …..

we are going on almost two years in this house and

using make shift chairs just wasn’t cutting it anymore.

but thanks to a friend of my who’s been stashing some

antique chairs in her garage for who knows how long,

our lonely kitchen table is finally rescued.

she let me snatch up these little goodies

to actual get some use out of them.

so with a good sander, a little painters tape and of coarse, my favorite…..

… spray paint …

we turned these old antique chair’s into fresh and modern accent pieces.

check out our before and afters!!!

happy diy to u!!!
