Some Highlights

Thank you to the wonderful Sarah from Thrifty Decor Chick  for giving some of us newbie bloggers the chance to be featured on her blog!   Please indulge me while I create a "to new to have a highlight reel" highlight reel.  Mission Decorate is only a few months old, but I am so grateful for the support and inspiration from my readers.  So a moment for us to capture some not so distant memories...

We begin with the Fabulously Refinished kitchen table.  A $150 Craig's List find that was worth every penny.  A little sanding, a few coats of paint and voila the perfect spot for my family to eat dinner.

The Before...


And After....


But one thing was missing...um a place to sit.  Two antique store chairs and one Craig's List refinisher later we have three beautiful mis-matched chairs.  (The final chair is still in my garage begging for one last coat of paint.  I however, am begging for the temperature to rise about 15 degrees before that last coat of paint sees that chair.)



To wrap things up you know I can't pass up the opportunity to re-live my daughter's first birthday party (which was only a few weeks ago).  So here are the home made decorations I put together for the Story Time bash.






Thanks again to all for the love, support and minor indulgence!
