I’ve had a lot of questions about the pretty blue settee lately so I just wanted to reference back to my “how to” post. You can find how I transformed this cherry wood and salmon velvet couch to my dream, denim inspired sofa here.

I LOVE painting with Junk Gypsy and have done a large buffet hutch, couch, end tables, frames, and several small projects. It’s easy to use, no prep or prime, and adheres to almost every surface. You can purchase your cans at Farm Girl Boutique. A little helpful tip on purchasing, if you have a small project and don’t think you will need the quart, two small 8 oz. jars are still cheaper than getting one quart. :)

I’m always happy to answer any questions so feel free to email me! Happy Junking!

Fall Around Our House

October 26, 2016

I love decorating for Christmas but I love decorating for Fall just as much. Cotton and all things pumpkin have adorned every area of our living room and kitchen and I wish it could stay most of the year. The girls and I planted mums and cabbage this year and added some pretty fairytale pumpkins along with our big orange ones. I love how festive our porch is. We also painted our front door Red! It’s been turquoise for 3 years and just needed a change. I love how bright it is. It only took me two hours from start to finish and I used Junk Gypsy Chalk paint from my store- Farm Girl. Happy Fall, Y’all!

Styling the Boot Shelves

March 30, 2016

Since we are remodeling our bedroom I have been gradually getting things decorated and back in order. I’ve been dying for some rustic, floating shelves to display my boots on. My friend Chelisa made these for me and they are perfect for our little corner nook.
I am putting a cowhide chair/ottoman in this corner with a chandelier. I thought it would be the perfect mix of rustic and western chic. I still have plenty of boots to add to the shelves but considering the above decorative touches. What do you think? I love how simple they were to install and that they add personal detail to our room that is still functional and unique.

We still have a ways to go on the re-design. We are adding old sheet metal to our ceiling, a new fan/light fixture, still on the hunt for bedding I just absolutely love, a sliding barn door, saloon doors to our walk in closet, and the gallery wall that I am slowly gathering items for.
