During one of Albert’s afternoon walks, we stumbled upon this little table tossed to the curb. When we went back on a dinner-time walk, the table was still there and this time we couldn’t resist bringing it home (well, savannah couldn’t anyway). We’d been wanting a table to put at the front door to collect…

Happy and safe Fourth of July tomorrow, yall! (project also featured on www.radowl.com)
geometric brights + gold succulent pots
Inspired by this post on Creature Comforts Blog, we created these happy little pots for our homeless succulents. The project probably took about an hour because the paint dried really quickly outside in the sun. We’ve wondered how painting pots would effect the breathability (probably hurt it), but we figured since succulents can grow in…
patio lights

After some research, we realized that we…
mid-century end table – after
Remember that cute little end table we found for $12 that needed a little bit of new life? (Original post here if you need a refresher) Well finally, here’s the after! First we sanded, primed with Zinsser Stain Cover Primer (this stuff is a beast), painted with Valspar (forgot the specific color) and finished with…
the entry piece – after
…only it’s no longer an entry piece… After clearing out boxes and piles, we realized some of the furniture placement was just… off… so we set out to rearrange things a bit and are both much happier with the results. The formerly white piece (see the before photos here) was just too small on the…
