Just a little fun.

So today we had a chance to work on our coffee table project!! I am soooo excited to share it with yall. It might be one of my favorites! Hope you like it :)

We found this super cool old window when we were in N. Georgia. Had no idea what we were going to do with it... we tossed around a couple of ideas and then finally came up with this...

we had some leftover wood from our staircase that we used as the posts...
and bought a few pieces of cedar to make the 'border'...

Then we found a use for the wood from the pallets that our lumber was
delivered on back when we were building...

painted it white to match the window...
then sanded it down a little bit to give it a little bit of an older look...

And here it is!!! Absolutely love it!!

P.S. We have more windows... would make a great Christmas present.
Let me know if you are interested :)

Just a fun little picture from my birthday celebration down in Seaside!

Check out the amazing cake that Matt's Aunt Ginger made for the family reunion!!
Awesome... and tasted delicious!!

We were so blessed to host a dinner for the Ellington family reunion at our house!
Good looking bunch.

Just had to share... found a temporary use for our old double wash tub. 

decor in progress.

Over the last couple of weeks we have had a chance to catch up on some of the small projects and decorating the house a little more. Check it out...

We found these chairs on craigs list... they look pretty good here, but up close they were in pretty bad shape...

We painted them white... and recovered the cushions...

We were given this old metal table with wood frame... just needed a little tlc...

and here it is! (we are still working on the table...)

found this really neat chair at the Habitat for Humanity Restore. recovered the cushion and it looks awesome in our living room. 

My mom found this antique china cabinet for us in GA.  (Forgot to take pic before I covered the glass to refinish)

Here it is all finished!

found these awesome reader's digest books while thrifting with my friend, Alaina.
She is an amazing thrifter and decorater. Check out her blog

first floor decor.

Hey yall! I know it has been wayyy too long... but we are still working on our internet. I finally got a chance to post so here we go!

So we moved in on Aug 19, just 3 days shy of our 2 year anniversary :) Quite the anniversary present huh? We were so so excited to get moved in and start making this house our home. The last 3 1/2 weeks have been amazing. We have been working at the house on little projects every chance we get. It is definitely paying off. We love our home and we also love the neighborhood we moved to. Our neighbors are fantastic! Such a blessing! and we have definitely been taking advantage of making it a point to walk down and see the beach every day! Not sure why God has allowed us to have all these opportunities, but we sure are thankful and we pray that we glorify Him in everything we do. 

We have also been so happy to share our home with our friends and family. AND we want to share it even more so yall come on down and see us!!

So... Can't give it all away in one post so we will start off sharing some pictures from the first floor. 

Let us know what you think... AND any ideas for decorating!!!

Here's our trailer loaded down with our lovely antiques!

The living room area. Still on the hunt for a mantle, but its all coming together.

Another view of the living room area.
Sorry for the blurry pic. (My camera screen is broken so I can't see the pics when I take them haha)

Remember way back when we bought these tables at the Seaside yard sale?
We used one in the half bath and the other here at the entrance!

This is by far my favorite piece!!
This was my great-grandmother's Singer sewing machine. So special.
Thankful to have this in my home. 

The half bath finished!

The butcher block counter came in! love this.

Church pew and stairs. 

We didn't have a bed so we made one :)
We saved the extra wood from the posts that they cut off on the front porch. Turned out perfect.

Our bed all finished... still have a surprise project that will go behind the bed :)

We took a trip up to the N. Georgia mountains last weekend...
and we found this awesome chifferobe.
And what made it so neat is that it actually had the original receipt inside.
It was purchased in Feb 1924 in Atlanta, GA from Haverty's Furniture. Wow!
So we need to put a little work into it... but it is such a pretty piece!

So back on in June we went to N. Georgia with my family... that's when we picked up all of the rocks that would soon be our shower floor...

Not an easy job but he did such a good job...

Just like bathing in the river!!!

Building our closet shelves!

Couldn't get them all in one pic but you get the idea :)
