weekend deets

Friday
21 Jump Street was really funny. Def go see it.

Saturday
I painted the French doors glossy black just like I said I would. Do not tape the windows if you attempt this at home. I did tape the front side of the first set and then after I peeled off the tape-I had to paint again because the tape peels the paint! BUT by not taping, you then have to razor the edges and get all the paint off the windows. High maintenance. That's where I'm at now in the process...razoring the edges. I was pretty busy on Saturday messing with those doors...Can't wait to show you a pic because it looks like a completely different room to me and I love it!

Sunday
I managed to get some new hairy shoes. I just know they'll be super cute with everything. Leopard is a neutral. Totally.

And a red Shellac manicure...

My parents surprised me by coming to town to buy new patio furniture for the lake house. They purchased a table that seats 8 so they brought the horse trailer with them too to haul the table and chairs home. That's how we roll in Oklahoma! I had dinner with my parents and then I dropped Cooper off at Jacob and Taylor's house. They're super sweeties to watch our fur baby because I'm flying to PA for work today.

Happy trails, y'all!

on the cheap

There were some other items that made me look twice when I scored THIS elephant side table. I didn't buy them but I can't say I didn't think about it.
This Greek key storage cabinet was pretty special:

I thought this would make an excellent night stand:

So close to buying one of these but up close it looked like smeared cement on them. O poot.

Spotted in Elle Decor:

You know how we're seeing horses everywhere:

You can buy one on the cheap:

look 4 less: elephant side table

Soo ya know how I mentioned wanting an elephant side table for the GUEST ROOM that I recently painted white for THIS story board?

You know the one with the THESE new no sew black and white stripe curtains? Well. I got one.

I didn't get one HERE for $545.00.
I didn't get it HERE for $199.00.
Not HERE as a table top version for $49.95.
I got it HERE 50% off for 24.99!!!!!!!

I haven't been to Garden Ridge in months maybe even a couple of years and it is just down the road from where I work. I decided to go browse during my lunch hour and  I stumbled upon Dumbo. He's made of a dry stone so I can totally paint him white and he'll easily be just as fabulous as the trunks above. Can't wait to get my trunk out of my trunk when I get home. Har har har...

This is my guest's new side table:

o shoot

Photo shoot coming up!
I've made an appointment for Lee, Cooper and me to get family pix done before Lee deploys! This photographer shot our engagement and my bridal portrait too. AND guess what? He offered to shoot Lee's Homecoming for free. He said it was the least he could do since Lee is sacrificing so much. Wow. I was so touched and so holy smokes that is awesome. Of course his Welcome Back Homecoming is a loooong time from now but still-AWESOME!

I'm wanting to blow a couple of these soon to be take images up insanely large and hang them in our bedroom on a canvas. I def want to see Lee's face in every image. Let me know if you see anything that we should try. Whatever we do, our furbaby Cooper will be in it too! Here's what I'm liking so far:
Something fun with balloons...

Something cozy with a blanket...

 TGIF Y'all. I'm going to see 21 Jump Street with my homies tonight.

pattern problem

I have a gingham outbreak. It's popping up everywhere! There I was at Hobby Lobby headed towards the picture frames when WHAM! I saw more gingham napkins. Ha! I already have them in pink and green but now they have red and black! At least I got them 50% off again... 

Something else I got 50% off is this cute little box. Not sure why or where it will end up but I like it and it was only 2 beans.

framed

I finally got HER framed.
Remember I told you all about my Chanel history from my college days HERE? Then I told you about an idea I had for my poster after seeing THESE.
This pic isn't great but here she is framed. It's with my phone and I had to take it at an angle because I snapped it at night and I didn't want the light to reflect:/

special delivery

This is what happens when bad things happen in the news. Love my Solider. Even from miles away, he sure knows how to make my frown turn upside down.
