Checking out for a bit...going to the Big Apple!

I'm sooo excited! In less than two hours, I will be on my way to NYC to meet up with my momma and sister! We are going for a girl's weekend to celebrate my sister's 35th birthday...and she has NEVER been to the city! I imagine it would be like taking a child to Disney for the first time...but on steriods!!

On the itinerary is the broadway play, Mamma Mia...going to the Nate Bertkus show...shopping...eating...strolling in Central Park...being a crazy fan on the Today Show...and lots more!

I'll be sure to post pictures next week...bye!!

Drab dresser turned to Beautiful buffet!!

So I have been looking on Craigslist for MONTHS for a dresser/buffet/hutch/console (all my search words!) for my dining room and last week I finally found it! Here is the before...just a plain ol wood dresser but what got me was the curvy lines...we like curves around here!

Here she is all cleaned up, painted white and ready for some chocolate glaze...sounds yummy doesn't it?!

This is a close up so you can see the glaze in the crevices...love it!

AND...tada!! Here she is all gussied up and looking beautiful! Is it wierd to say...I'm in love?! This project has been super fun and my good friend, Tara Byrd over at Byrd's Eye View totally guided and helped me to get it looking so good! Thanks girl!!

I cannot wait to change out those blue plates for some cute fall ones!
