oh heeyy

after I haven't written in awhile [and by awhile I mean 1 year] I never know where to start. How do I catch up on the everything that's happened? So much has happened in the past year...but at the same time it feels like everything has stayed the same.. I guess I can't backtrack, but I will just start now. . Mathis and I have this hobby that we loovvvee. We are kind of obsessed with going to antique stores and yard sales to find little trinkets, or furniture to fix up and put in our house. It's come to the point where we have no more room, but we can't stop. It's kind of sick. We have a lot of projects waiting to be finished, but no time to work on them... Here are some of our latest..

I wish I would have taken a before picture. It wasn't the cutest piece..But we love our new tv stand.

I found this antique mirror idea on pinterest, of course. It took so long, but it was worth it. [Is it weird that we have a giant map in our bedroom? maybe.]

we found this little gem in an antique store in st. george. It was a little rough around the edges (again, i'm terrible at taking before pictures).. We sprayed it with a cream color, then used a crackle paint over it to give it an older look. both the sides come out which is great when we have family come over for dinner.

Before i got married, i knew my husband was a pretty crafty kid. I mean, he grew up on a farm, so obviously he knows how to fix things..but i had no idea. He built this bookshelf for me. It looks like it was built with the house. it's pretty dreamy.

one day after work i came home to this.. my husband built it from a pile of wood.literally. I was/still am amazed. If you need any custom furniture built.. you know who to ask! hope you enjoyed our little projects!
