I have been looking for a new (used) dining room set and was doing research on how to strip and restain when i found ur site with the Blue dresser...and thats where the obbession started! Lol i finally found a table set 3 days ago and am embarking down the re-stain road today. It doesnt end there tho...i also picked up 3 paint sample containers and am delving into the paint my living room kitchen hallway and dining room journey as well. Youve been a true inspiration with your blantant "im not perfect" honesty and your humbleness (think i just made a new word there) ;). I would love to share the before and after pics w u. I know im taking on alot at once, but i know when if i feel overwhelmed, ill just come bak here (with stain/paint covered hands, sweat pants with holes in them, hair twisted high on my head and my daughter fast asleep ,while game of thrones marathon plays on tv) re-read your stories, see your pics and have agood laugh cry and plow on! Thank you V! Ps...thanku to jessie too for showing me that there really are good men out there...he doesnt happen to have a brother, or a cousin, or a 3 cousin 2x removed that is single does he.... :) lol!

Loved reading about your renovation journey, and thanks for sharing with us and making me laugh out loud ;) Can't wait to start decorating the 3 story townhouse I'm about to move ino with my hubs and two cats, will definitely keep coming back for your advice and I love that you don't make it look super easy and show the good and the (not so) bad. Well done for running a great blog too - I run a wedding blog called Want That Wedding.

I am just one of many victims of the unfortunate fluorescent kitchen light epidemic, and I really want to replace it with something like you have, I'm just afraid my ceilings are too low and it will feel like you could practically bump your head when you walk under it (like you, I don't have an island, so there needs to be plenty of clearance).

I am specifically writing about your dining room table. I love the look and am really wanting to recreate a similar look (you've completely changed my mind from what I originally wanted :)). Did you paint the table yourself, and if so what did you use? Thank you in advance! I look forward to following your blog as I've drawn so much inspiration from it already!Natasha S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02323948372356098006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-30243102373669957952014-12-13T17:33:05.733-05:002014-12-13T17:33:05.733-05:00Gorgeous!

And I love your honesty about your budget constraints and how its still possible to make a home lovely on a small budget. I feel like I stumbled upon your blog at just the right time. I was so excited when we bought our first home 3 years ago, and I keep trying to love it, but I can't. I keep trying to do things to make it feel more like "us" on our tiny budget, but just end up feeling disappointed. I've painted the living room three times in three years, and I'm already thinking about painting again! Sigh. Your blog has given me so many ideas that I can't wait to try. Thank you and keep those posts coming! :)Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17037932069867556830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-48664170343632984952014-11-26T11:03:40.739-05:002014-11-26T11:03:40.739-05:00Absolutely love your house!

I keep wondering if I can pair it with white (right now it has a photo mural of Hawaii!)...you made that work so beautifully!!

You've inspired me to paint my daughters bedroom a pink and green stripped pattern. I figure if you can remodel a whole house... Why then should i be scared of a little bedroom. You should be so very proud of yourself. It's just wonderful. All I keep thinking is though... what are you going to do when the little ones come and those white walls are no longer white???
