Mrs. Hine’s Class Blog Feature

by Angela on May 25, 2013

I would love to introduce you all to Mrs. Hines!  She is a fellow Texan and lives not far from where I grew up.  Isn’t it funny that when we have something, as little as where someone lives, in common we feel like know someone!?!?  Well, I would love for you to take a look around her blog and “get to know her!”

Mrs. Hines’ Class celebrates life one lesson at a time.  Whether it’s creating memories, sharing recipes or conquering a DIY project, there’s a lesson waiting for you.  ;)
Here are a few of the things you can find on her blog:

Stop by and take a look around!  (You’ve got plenty of time it’s a long weekend, remember! ;) )
*******************************
Yesterday was the first day of The Vintage Farmhouse Spring Market and it turned out to be a beautiful day!  It was chilly in the morning but I ended up with a sunburn by the end of the day.  Today I have my sunblock and jacket…I’ll be back on Monday.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Girl’s Bathroom Makeover

by Angela on May 20, 2013

Girl's Bathroom Makeover via Unexpected Elegance

I had a busy weekend, but I found some time to work on the girl’s bathroom.  When I was out shopping last week for my upcoming show, I happened to find a few things for that space.  I had wanted a cabinet to go above the toilet and small market cart for their laundry.  Surprising I found both at the same antique mall.  To top it off they were having a store wide sale and I got both pieces for around $50!

Scott had gone out yesterday to run some errands, so I was flying solo on this project. Have you ever tried to hang a cabinet yourself?  It’s not easy!  I started by finding the studs, then pre-drilled some screws into the shelving.  I secured one side, then used a level to get it in the right spot before drilling in the other screws.

I didn’t have a lot of time to play around, but I ‘m looking forward to “styling” them.  (And I needed to do a load of towels, so I was running low on fillers! ;) )

The cart is the perfect size.  I almost bought a reproduction a few weeks ago for three times the price.  I’m so glad I waited!  I saved money and got the real thing…score!

I’m debating on adding a bag to it…what’s your thoughts?

Happy Monday, ya’ll!

Find IT For Less: Accent Table

05.09.2013

Today we are talking accent tables.  Neither table I found is very expensive, but saving money is always good! Ballard’s Olivia Mirrored Side Table: $149 World Market’s Walker Campaign Accent Table:  $99   The obvious difference is the mirrored top.  I personally would prefer it without the mirror.  Little kids make it almost impossible to keep things [...]
