Breakfast Nook Makeover

Well I swore I'd never go a whole month without posting again.... and then I went a whole TWO MONTHS without writing a single stinkin' word! I'll blame the fact I got a new job. Annnd the fact that I was in a Corporate Finance class this semester that basically made me want to just lie in bed in the fetal position and cry. Ok, so that's a tad bit dramatic, but it was definitely awful! 

Now that classes are over, I've got some free time back to do the things I love! I've been to some great concerts, worked out every day (HA!), finally binge-watched Nashville on Hulu  until I was all caught up, and most importantly I've got a little painting done! 

A few months ago, a woman messaged me on Facebook because she was on the lookout for a small breakfast table and chairs. I wasn't much help with her search, but man did she find some good pieces!

Here's what her table and chairs looked like when she bought them: 



The day I picked the pieces up from her, she showed me some fabric swatches she'd pulled for her kitchen revamp! She bought some great, traditional floral fabric but had paired it with some really interested geometric patterns. I definitely envy her pattern mixing abilities, because I am TERRIBLE at it! I can't wait to see it all put together!

Once I was finished with the table and chairs, it came out looking just adorable and springy and I can't wait to drop it off on Friday!


Excuse the cow playing peek-a-boo in the back. I don't know where to hang that pretty little lady!
I just LOVE this fabric!

I hope she's as pleased with it as I am when I take it to her tomorrow!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. As my old volleyball coach used to say... "No sex, drugs or rock & roll!" 

God Bless!
