I am so impatient. I know I probably won't move into our house until next January or even later and that is soooo far away! So to keep myself busy and on budget I am attacking everything in my house with paint! Watch out kids! I don't want to have to go and buy all new furniture so I'm upcycling my own stuff!
I am starting to have quite the collection on chalk paints and finishes as I stop into a craft store at least 2-3 times a week with my 40% off coupon in hand! I haven't gotten too adventurous with the layering and the distressing and the crackle paint etc... I am loving the transformation of these pieces. It's relaxing and it chanels my creative need and I get to sit a watch "fixer upper" and pretend I am Joanna Gaines on a very very small scale.
The other thing I've been doing is taking up yard sale hunting! I found two matching night stands and a coordinating dresser for $40 on Saturday and also found the most amazing antique farmhouse sink for $40 that is actually worth $1500!! At this moment I'm on my way to get a $25 project dresser for me and jakes master bedroom!
