Transformation Thursday

Thanks again to House of Wepworths for the opportunity to show what we homemakers have been busy doing. I have been amazed at the creativity and ingenuity of the women whose blogs I visit via HoH. And, she featured my dresser from last week! How awesome is that?

Last month, when my mom was visiting here from Florida, we hit some garage sales. My mom is like a good luck charm because we found awesome stuff! We bought something at every yard that we visited. This chair caught my eye because of its legs.

If I were a man I would be all about the legs. She also has a great back. Even though it was purple, I could not pass it up, especially when I inquired about the price. The owner told me it was $3.00. I ran and grabbed it faster than as you can say, Boo.


I repainted the chair white and then recovered it in a lovely Waverly paisley. I loved the paisley so much that I made some drapes out of it, too. A pair of thrift store sheers that I scored for $5.00, completes the window.


We are fortunate enough to have an office/guest room in our home. I wanted this room to have a real feminine feel and I think that I am on my way to achieving that. I still have a computer desk that needs to be painted white, and when my mom visits she is going to help me with putting up some wainscot wallpaper. Hi, mom!

Thanks for all of the sympathy and well wishes concerning my scourge. I am on my second round of steroids and feeling better. I have been swimming in the pool everyday and that has helped tremendously. If you ever get poison ivy please let me know so that I can send you all of the sympathy in the world. And also chocolate.

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you have done this week!
