My Boys

This is a crazy week in the Lightfoot house.  Two of our boys have birthdays four days apart.  We had a jump party for Caleb, a trip to Build-A-Bear, a sleepover for Aaron, a trip to the Chocolate Bar and Galleria on Thursday and then we finish the week off with a family party/lunch on Saturday!  Whew!  Mama is tired!  Here are some of our summer pictures!

My Kitchen

 Yes, I have red cabinets.  That was my summer project from last year.  They were normal, builder grade oak cabinets so I wanted to update them to match my home.  I took everything off.  The doors, drawers, pulls, and handles.  First came the cleaning.  Grease from 1989 is not pretty.  Second, I took everything outside and sanded the doors and drawers.   For the body of the cabinets I used my

Living Room Part Two

Here are some details and knick knacks that I have in my living room.  Also, check out my new striped wall!
This hodgepodge shelf was from my aunt.  My grandfather made it for her and I just had to find a place for it.  I painted it and Michael attached some paneling behind it.  I love it.  So simple.


I found these two chippy shutters at the antique store.  I don't even know what they were used

Guest Bath

I know it's kind of weird posting pictures of my bathroom, but hopefully it will give someone some ideas.  The color is Cornflower from Lowe's.  I love brown and blue and I wanted to put a little antique feel to it.  Probably my favorite thing in this bathroom is the Lightfoot's soap.  My sweet friend Dikola saw that at a store and snatched it for me.  How neat is that!!!

Living Room Part One

 

We can finally sit back and enjoy our living room.  It's finished.  I repainted (my favorite word) the walls and it really freshened up the space.  It is Valspar Malted Milk.  I made the curtains and tied them with some matching ribbon.
 I love my ladder.  It is displaying some of my favorite decor.  An old scale, old books, and some linens.  The end table I found at an estate sale for a

Mini Pajak for Sale

As some of you know, I fell in love with a piece of furniture that I had already sold.  We named it the Pajak Bar after the sweet family who bought it.  Well....not only did I find another one (to be painted  later) but I found a smaller version.  Here is the "famous" Pajak Bar. Original Pajak Bar

Here is the smaller version named the Mini Pajak.  (I know...very original) He is 30" wide, 30"

Dining Room Reveal

I wanted to share with you our new and improved dining room.  I wanted a clean, old south, farmhouse feel to it.  Nothing in here is new, except the curtains.  This was my first attempt at sewing my own window coverings.  I just couldn't find the exact material I wanted in a package so I knew I had to resort to buying my own material and making them. The wall color is actually a gray.  It's hard

Why I Do What I Do...

 

One cost me $20.  The other cost $1050.  (and no I do not have the period in the wrong place) 
This is why I do what I do.  I LOVE the Bramble Co. furniture.  Especially the Cottage Collection.  I first saw these wonderful pieces of furniture on our trip to The Highlands, North Carolina in a little shop called Dutchman's.  Love. At. First. Sight.  But, until pigs fly, I won't be paying $1000
