Painting.. Painting.. PAINTING!!!

I bet you can't tell what we've been doing the past few days... Yep! You guessed it... PAINTING! Hillary and I have been painting some of my furniture to get it ready for our house in Kentucky. As of right now we are  painting the living room furniture. We've decided on brown, green, teal, and a little bit of black for the living room. Brown will be walls, couches, and rug. Green will be accent wall, pillows, and rug. Teal will be pillows and... FURNITURE! I know I know.. sounds crazy, huh? But it looks awesome.


Here's a little sneak peek of what we've done so far...


We painted the sofa table completely TEAL!


Bye bye brown table... Hello sleek black table with blue accents.

Painting the legs of the kitchen table...


The 2 end tables and the sofa table are totally finished with THREE coats of paint each! I'm in <3 with the sofa table :)


As you can see we're leaving some of the coffee table black... The teal is finished, so we just have to cover up the old charcoal color with true black and it will be complete.


After a long day of work and painting :)


Hillary has to go back to working her 12 hour shifts tomorrow. Thankfully, I am off work, so I will be able to finish up what we have left. HOPEFULLY! After we finish up with the living room furniture, we'll be moving on to my bedroom. I have to start hunting an old dresser and nighstand I can spruce up with a little paint. Consignment stores, craigslist, and yard-sales, here I come! Ha! You know what's funny? Well, I used to make fun of how my momma and my sister watched HGTV all the freakin time. However, I have to confess that Hillary and I watch it non stop now! Haha! Since we've started thinking of decorating ideas, we've been glued to it. I must say that we both love Color Splash! That is definitely our #1.

Well, that's about all we've done the past week... work and paint, work and paint, work and paint. This weekend is the 4th and we're going to my aunt's house in Alabama to grill out and swim on Saturday. Hillary is coming with us too! :) So, expect a blog and pictures from all the festivities! You just don't know what will happen when you get my looney toon family all together.. Haha!

love,
