i'd DIY.

my husband + i are obsessed with finding unwanted pieces + turning them into treasures.
it's easier on the wallet, it's fun to do + in the end, you end up with a piece that is all your own - what's not to love? 

below are a few of our favorite + most recent do-it-yourself projects from around our home.
enjoy!

this is the newest member of our living room. we were desperate for a zebra chair + believe it or not, i found this beauty on ebay.  all it needed was new legs & a fancy red pillow to tie it all together.   we used several coats of glossy lacquered spray paint for the chair legs.

this next
monster was found
buried in our grandmother's
garage.

we power-washed the hell out of it + kept the old, worn green paint.

add a table lamp + some magazines

and say hello to a vintage bedside table!

 next illustrates our love for ladders. they are simple + practical.  we found these on the side of the road, threw them in the truck, power-washed them and voila!
i also have an obsession with designer denim. what better way to display them?
























 

the other ladder is leaning against the wall in our dining room. we use it to hang all of our throw + lounge blankets.

i'll leave you with one of my favorites. it's a crummy old side table we found

+ painted yellow. we didn't sand down the imperfections, we embraced them

+ we think it makes for a really unique piece. it adds the perfect amount of

sunshine to our slate blue living room.

until next time!
