Hooray! It's finally here! Milk Paint and More Mondays. 

I am so excited to party here with you and can't wait to share some of my favorite projects each week!

So, just in case you're wondering...here are the not so fun but oh so necessary rules:

1. You don't have to have a milk paint project to link up, pretty much any paint or DIY project will do but we DO love to see what you all can do with your milk paint. Feel free to link up any of your projects and tutorials but NO FOOD, please. 
2. Please LINK BACK to your actual post and not just your blog addy. Please be sure to include a link back to Milk Paint and More Mondays in your post.
3. LIKE Restoration House on Facebook and share the button below. 
4. Surf through other bloggers' entries and visit them on their respective blogs to spread the love. 

                        And heeeeeeere we go...a few features to get this party started off right! 

Atta Girl used MMS Milk Paint to bring new life to this stool. Super cute! 

I absolutely adore this spoon lamp from Miss Flibbertigibbet. So creative! 

Are you kidding me? Make Me Pretty Again made this from scratch. Love it. 

Wow! Love this revamp from East Coast Creative. 

Oh, and whatdya say...one more? 

Now, you know I couldn't leave her out! No words necessary. 

Now, let's party! 

I scored this little gem on Kijiji today. I'm not sure where it's going to go yet, but what a great start to the week!

Happy Monday! xo

OMG! Tomorrow's the big day! I am nervous. So. Nervous. 

I can't really put my finger on it but I have never felt this way. Not even when putting together my pieces for a show. 

Of course, there's all the last minute to-dos. Sand a little more here. Paint a little more there. Add some wax everywhere...

Anyhow, as requested, here's a pic of the very last piece I finished to get ready for me spot. I think it turned out scrum-diddly-umptious! 

Granted, this dresser wasn't exactly the worst I've refinished but it was pretty dated and needed a few small repairs. Good thing I was there to rescue it from sure disaster.

BEFORE

AFTER

I just love the way it came out. Truly a traditional piece which is kinda the way I am going with my space in this season. 

I really am becoming a huge fan of the AS Graphite. Sometimes it looks blue. Sometimes gray. Sometimes black. Always pretty though.



And I got this in the mail today. I was so excited and praying that it would come before I moved all of my pieces into the store. I didn't get a pic of it but it's a custom stamp from here. I love it. On top of the uber quick ordering process, they sent me some letterpress thank you notes with my sweet little package. Talk about a repeat customer. I. Totally. Am.

So simple and totally speaks to my personal and design style. 

Okay, hope you enjoyed more sneak peeks...more pics over the weekend so come back often, leave some encouraging words, love, whatevs...just let me know you're out there! *deep breath*

We finally got a break from the rain this weekend (don't worry - it's back already), so Adam and I took advantage of the sunny weather and spent most of Saturday working outdoors (more on that later). But first I sat down with my sewing machine to finish my first slipcover. Here's a little before and after - drum roll please:

Ta da! Can you tell I'm excited about how it turned out? Luckily the whole making it reversible thing was easier than I thought. Basically, I made two slipcovers, then sewed the bottom hemlines together so one "sits" inside of the other.

Which means I can choose between Side A:

And Side B (which really needs to be ironed, but probably won't be):

And the whole thing is easily removed for washing. Here's how it looks in our living room, where it's currently acting as a side table, but can easily be pulled out for extra seating when need be. Not bad for $10.
