BEFORE AND AFTER

We are finishing up our stay at the beach and headed home to Atlanta today.  We got a lot done and if you think this was a vacation....well it didn't feel like it:) There was about 2 days where I just sat on my butt.....the 31st and the 1st.  I can blame myself a little..... that curse of not being able to relax! Anybody else like that? I happened to be looking over at a brown cabinet under the TV and decided that it needed to be white.  I had already taken the doors off and tried to accessorize a little but just wasn't feeling it. Here is the outcome....followed by the before pictures! After..... Now let me show you why I did it! The waaaaaay before....... Doors off....attempt at talking myself out of painting it:) Nope....just not feeling it!  It took 4 coats.....crikey.   I was definitely re-thinking my decision. So much better! I found most of the stuff at Target, Home...

You know how it goes.....sometimes you awaken the inner designer in someone!

Since I was right near my house I decided to just go home to a clean [somewhat clean] bathroom. As I turned down my street I took a sip of my Starbucks and it went down the wrong way....came out my nose....spilled all over my white shirt....and I started coughing so hard I peed in my pants. Needless to say that little stop at home lasted somewhat longer than I planned since I had to change clothes. Like I said..... Have I mentioned how excited I am to have a project out in Southern Homes right now? I loved working on this renovation with my favorite builder....Michael Ladisic and project manager Jennifer Tate was incredible and so helpful. The client was a bright star....so easy to work with....we became fast friends. I have posted a little during this project a couple of years ago but today I can show you some images I...
