my barn sale loot

Friday, Mr. TSL came home and said there was a barn sale up the road and it had some cool stuff.  He'd put together some stuff he wanted in a box and had them hold it for him.  Well, Saturday we had Audrey's 2nd birthday party...so we didn't make it back.  Sunday, we drove over there and no sale.  But, the old man was watering the lawn so we pulled up and he had kept Mr. TSL's box for him. Isn't that so sweet?!?

I started walking around looking at what was left and he sold me 4 of these chairs for $1 each...

they are heavy and in super condition :)

Got this little bookcase for Audrey's room with little modern legs....for free!

already primed this puppy!

A couple old tins for free!

i love the coffee tin as is...the bread box with the rose, getting a makeover!

A little bench that Morgan claimed for free!

A Moroccan side table for free and this booger is heavy!

And my absolute favorite that I scored for free (kind of maybe more like $1.50) Vintage 20's lockers!

Aren't they dreamy?!?  And the lady who sold them said she had 3 more that match them that I could have if her son decides he doesn't want them.  Cross your fingers he doesn't because I sure do!!


I am almost finished painting the baby's dresser, I'll have that for you later this week.  I have completed painting the dining room floor, kitchen floor, and small stairs.  I have to repaint the big stairs and landing and I will show you those and hopefully I will have the bookcase done this week so I can show you that too!!

Apparently, when you find out you are being induced in a week a fire gets lit under your butt to finish crap you have already started before it all comes to a screaming halt to play with my new squishy bundle of joy!!

Did I mention that I was featured for my baby gate over at Apartment Therapy?!?!  Yep, I am crapping my pants excited over here!!

A Girl and A Glue Gun Shout Out and some features!

I am so excited to have been in Crafting with the Stars and Kimbo from AGAAGG was a fantastic partner!

She is so sweet and did this amazing post for me!

She also awarded me these:

Plus, to top it off I was featured over at Homemaker on a Dime and Sisters of the Wild West!

These are fantastic considering the week/month I've had.  This month on top of our usual bills, the dog needs shots, our tags are due, the kids both need new glasses, I need new contacts, the microwave died and so did the dishwasher.....blah!!!!  


I've been reheating everything on the stove, I never realized how often I used the microwave.  And sadly today, I had to hand wash the dishes :(.

I'm thinking red or purple.... plus another feature!!

Chandelier for the top of the stairs!  I made a new light for our bedroom (it was originally planned for the hallway.)  All changed because I thought it would be fun to add a pop of color to the light fixture in front of the girl's bedrooms! 

here are some inspiration pictures:
