Old and Improved

Much like the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire’s life, my house is flipped turned upside down. Our flooring is getting installed (yay! I can’t wait to show you!) but the process is … rough. We’ve had concrete floors for the past two weeks, which are rubbing the baby’s knees raw and a constant source of dust despite me frenetically sweeping every five minutes. I’m surprised my broom hasn’t caught fire yet.

Yesterday my daughter was home sick from school, so we were trapped at home while the installers were here. Literally trapped. Everything was taped off and covered in plastic, which meant we stayed upstairs in my bedroom for the entire day watching Disney Channel and surviving on a box of wheat thins. I’ve listened the Doc McStuffins theme song so many times I think I might actually BE Doc McStuffins.

But I’m thinking the job should be finished up today! I hope. I just heard the head installer mutter to himself “What’s that burning smell?” So … I’m not sure. Maybe he’s been sweeping.

Anyway, here are some pretty things! Jen at All Things New was challenged by a friend to update a worn-out dresser and armoire set that no longer reflected her style. Her furniture was dark and heavy, she wanted something light and rustic.

I’d say Jen delivered! So simple and sweet.   Who says neutrals are boring? Not this girl.

If you liked that, you’re going to LOVE the armoire.

LOVE! Head on over to her blog to take a peek at what she did on the inside: All Things New.
