I'm a sucker for cane...

Caneback chairs..I love them.

When I saw this one for a whole $6 at Goodwill, I had to snatch it up.

Take look at the before photo...not a fan of pea green crushed velvet.

 So I busted out the spray paint, picked up some fabric from JoAnn's, and gave her a makeover!

I'm digging it.  I'm now on the hunt for some more cane!  ;)

Xoxo,

a bit from my garden and other things...

Well it's official.  

My garden is humongous!!  I love it and am definitely not complaining at all! I have had a few squash plants die due to the horrendous heat but my tomato plants are going crazy. 

And would you look at that squash?  I found it hiding under some plants- and unfortunately it didn't taste too great because of its size.. but it was still fun to see. :)

Perhaps my favorite part is my flower garden of zinnias.  I planted these from seed in the spring and they are blooming like crazy.  I love these things and they last so long in a vase!  Practically the best flower God ever made, if you ask me! :)

 Now on to some exciting new happening in the Jones household:

I got a promotion! I am very thankful for this new opportunity and I start a week from this Monday!  I am nervous but excited.  This was my "interview outfit."  (All from TJ Maxx)

 Want to know some more exciting news?


Hubby and I are in the process of buying a house!  We've been looking for a couple weeks now and let me tell you, it's fun but stressful.  I never thought of all the things you have to think about when you buy a home!  But so far, it's been fun and I can't wait to share our progress. 

Lastly,  I found this beauty at Goodwill for $5 and am in the middle of a re-do.  Want a sneak peek?

That's all you're getting! I'll post the before/after pics next week!

Happy Friday, y'all! Hope you have a great weekend!

Xoxo,

And it was all yellow...

I have a fun DIY to share today!  I got an adorable nightstand from Goodwill the other day for $8 and just couldn't turn it down.  I have been looking for some new ones in our bedroom that have storage and when I saw this, I knew it was perfect.  I am still on the hunt for another one that is similar, but I have improvised until that time comes.

 You like?  So here is the before photo of our bedroom with some nightstands that I painted a couple years back.  They are nice, but with no storage, I couldn't do much with them.

 

And here is the after photo!  I painted the nightstands a nice soft yellow from Sherwin Williams (I will get the color on here once I can find the darn paint can!)  Once that was dry, I rubbed a little antique walnut stain on them to give them a distressed/not so yellow look.

And there you have it! I love the yellow contrast that it gives the room...it needed a little more color other than blue and gray. 

What's next?  I picked up a beautiful caneback chair...for $4...we will see what I have up my sleeve!
