Wallpaper Wednesday: Black and White!

We all know I all wallpaper. I think I got this from my mother. She has been wallpapering since I was little. My favorite wallpaper my mom ever used was black and white stripes in our bathroom when I was growing up. I have always loved black and white. Even now much of my condo is decorated in black and white. Here are some great pics. The first one reminded me of that bathroom growing up!

I have been loving gray decor for a while. Here is some inspiration for your day. I LOVE the bold tonal stripes in the first pic. Don’t you?

Reupholstering Antique Chair: Part 1

Good Morning – Happy Thursday! Today I wanted to share a project I have been working on for a few days now.  I found this chair on craigslist a while ago and finally have the time to work on it. Over the last couple of days I started tearing it apart so I could make it pretty again.

ps. I got it for $25 bucks!

Finally down to the wood – I started painting it already. Funny story – I thought it was white paint from my closet – however after a coat I could tell it was just slightly light pink. Oh well – I am liking it so far. Stay tuned in the next week or so as I share trying to install new coils and cushioning for the first time!

Stripey Drapes

I keep thinking about drapes – but they can be so expensive. A lot of bloggers out there have found a great solution to that – buying cheap and painting to give a designer look. I thinking I might try it….I love the stripes and the chevron. which do you think I should do?
