Beach Cottage Style Bedroom - Show and Tell Friday




 



Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!

 

This week at work we had a baby shower for a coworker expecting a little girl.  We were decorating a conference room for the shower and I thought it would be nice to have some pink roses.  I brought in this little bouquet holder that I bought at the Alameda Antique Faire many years ago.  Then I picked some roses that are growing along the parking lot

The freshly painted side table - Show and Tell Friday


 






 Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!

 

Last weekend I decided to move some furniture around. I originally had my TV on this table on the other side of the room next to the fireplace and I had a vintage dresser here.  I like it this way so much better!  It inspired me to give it a fresh coat of paint...chalk paint of course!  I bought this table at a thrift store years ago and my daughter

Bougainvillea - Show and Tell Friday





Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 



Last week I went to Costco just to buy some groceries until I saw this gorgeous bougainvillea out in front of the store. I couldn't resist!  Costco always seems to get me with something I want but don't really need!







Luckily I already had a pot to transplant it into. 



 



I'm really loving the colors of this bougainvillea.  They grow like weeds

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  Last week I shared my barstools that I painted and last weekend I sewed some little ruffle covers to add a little cottage charm.



I figured I could whip these

Kitchen Bar Stools Chalk Painted - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 

 

Our apartment kitchen is so tiny and when friends are over everyone is always standing around the kitchen and there is nowhere to sit.  I've wanted to get some barstools and Target had them 20% off and I got another 5% off by using my Target Red Card. They were only $30-somthing for both! I couldn't resist! The problem was, they weren't white...they

The freshly painted coffee table - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 

 

I finally repainted my coffee table! I've been talking about it for years but after all the furniture I painted in the past I was dreading it! 




 

This time it was a breeze because I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!  Now I know why everyone raves about this paint! It is AMAZING!  I didn't have to strip or sand I just painted it and then used the

Happy Easter - Show and Tell Friday





Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 







This week I'm sharing the last of my Easter décor!    Easter really snuck up on me this year (although I think I say that every year)!







I decorated the dresser I have in my living room with some Easter décor I've had for years.  I bought the tulips at the grocery store.







I hope you all have a wonderful Easter (for those that celebrate it)
