Coyote Run Home

This was our first house! We lived there for 5 years; it's fun to look back. I should have posted this sooner. I'm having a hard time remembering all the paint colors!

Family Room


Girls Room

Kitchen

Living Room
Walls are Gaucho by ColorPlace
It took FOREVER to get the right color!

Dresser

Bought this dresser at Goodwill for $40.00. I cleaned it then primed it with Valspar latex tintable white multi-purpose primer. Then I painted it Meadow Trail by Sherwin Williams.





Only "after pic" I have for now. Still playing around with the hardware.

Hutch and Dresser

I bought this hutch and dresser off Craigslist for $40.00.




I painted the handles black and re-painted the dresser white using Frost by Behr. I didn't prime it.

Here is the finished product:

Craigslist Desk

I bought this off Craigslist for $15.00. Pretty good deal if you ask me! I cleaned it with clorox wipes, sanded a few rough spots, then mod podged the top with some Hobby Lobby scrapbook paper. I also repainted the whole thing using Frost by Behr.

Bringing Springtime In

These were from a tree by the post office. We got them on Tuesday. I don't know what they are but I had to get rid of them shortly bc they were stinky! They sure look beautiful though.

We came back from our walk in the park today with some lovely spring branches that are just beginning to bud. I love Nature's new beginnings. It's a beautiful and FREE way to decorate as well! God's creations reign supreme!

Dull Drab to Dressed up Fab

The kids' bathroom is one of the last on my list to decorate and assemble. However, the shower curtain was just begging for help. I couldn't wait any longer. So, I took the remnant of my designer black and white flower fabric that I used on the dining room curtains and sewed it to the bottom of the shower curtain. I raised the shower curtain rod to give an illusion of height; that bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in the house. The whole thing took about 20 minutes. And I love it! More of that bathroom to come once I get around to it. :)

After the flood:

Oh yeah- I didn't measure or pin anything. Just quick, easy sewing! And no one could even tell it's not perfectly straight.
