drapes, dresser, flowers

Look what I found in the mail yesterday!  Five pair of curtains from Ikea... woohoo!  My awesome best friend down in Florida found these at her Ikea for me and mailed them to me.


I'm putting 4 of them in my office/laundry room and the other pair in my guest room. I already have one pair hanging in the guest room and needed the matching set for the other window.  Now I need to go buy curtain rods for the office and hem 3 of the curtains.

Here is what they look like up, they are called Vivan and are $9.99 each.


I started priming a dresser for  my bedroom yesterday.  This use to be my dresser back in the 90's, I had it painted hunter green. Remember the hunter green trend? lol  It seems like my friend that sent me the curtains originally gave me this, when I received it, it was black, it has so many coats of paint on it! I can see where it was once painted pale yellow, too.  Anyway, I am painting it white.






I'm still working on my ladder back chairs.  As soon as I get the roping removed off of the other chair and sanded and stained, I am taking it to someone I found to restring the seats for me.



And last but not least, look what else I found yesterday!!!  

Life!! Color!! Flowers!!

In my back yard, well, around the perimeter of  my yard, not sure if they are my neighbors or mine, but they are so pretty.  There are a ton of them planted along the perimeter of my property and over in my neighbors yard.  It's going to be beautiful after they all bloom.


Spring is in 2 days.
