Lagoons, Licorice Sticks and Sun Rays

So a couple of weekends ago my mom and I decided to rent a booth at the Nashville Flea Market with only 5 days to prepare. {Insert the YIKES! here} So I went on a crafting and furniture flipping marathon that resulted in me painting till midnight every night and several colors of spray paint in my hair.  One of the many things that I worked on to sell at the Flea was this adorable toddler bed. 

The original finish was wood.  In one of my late night crafting adventures, I came up with this color palette, and was spray painting in my backyard with a flash light. 

Lagoon, Licorice Stick, and Sun Ray:

and here is how it turned out:

I am in love with this color combo so I can guarantee that you will be seeing it again on another project.  I will be posting for the rest of the month of makeovers that made it to the Flea!  Stay Tuned!

June Top 10

New 10 for June:

Sorry for the delay... I was living it up in Louisville with my favorite baby girl and best friends... so without further ado~

1. So You Think You Can Dance

The new season just started and I am already doing awkward leaps in my living room during the commercial breaks.  If you have never cared for reality TV, this show might change your mind.  SYTYCD is beautifully choreographed dancers in perfect movement, perfect costumes, set to the most perfect music.

2.  Tree houses

  Become a kid again and climb a tree!  Cheekwood in Nashville has recently built some pretty cool ones.

3.  Double Doozies

Yes please. Indulge. I know I did this weekend, and with the help of Kristan you can make your own.

4.  Flea Markets

I have always been a fan, but even more so now that I was on the other side of the flea this past weekend.  It was fun being a vendor and getting to tell people to stop taking pictures of my map desk if they weren't going to buy :)

5.  Fish Tail Braid

I'm still trying to master this one still... but I'm thinking I should maybe add the pastel to distract from my imperfect braiding.

6.  One Thousand Gifts 

This book was going to be my number 6.  But honestly I couldn't get through it.  If you have read it let me know... I need some advice on how or why I should keep reading it.

 7. Star Girl

quickly replaced One Thousand Gifts and quickly became one of the most interesting books I have read.  It should bring out the quirky qualities in all of us.

8.  Did I mention I'm lactose-intolerant?

 

9.  Abiella is officially a McConnell!!!

Check out the McConnell's journey of bringing home their daughter from Ghana, HERE.

10. Birthdays! 

Happy Birthday Mom and Courtney!  Let the celebrations begin!
