a little white paint...


...can spruce up even the smallest and saddest of guest bedrooms. 

















Taking the furniture from the orangey, piney look from the 90s,


to a fresh and crisp look for today.


Guest room prep for our special visitor over the holiday weekend:

  • furniture re~do:: a few fresh coats of white paint {DIY chalk paint: mixed paint with plaster of paris or joint compound}, a top coat of wax and new drawer pulls
  • de~cluttering and closet clean up
  • freshly washed sheets and towels
  • fresh flowers
  • welcome gifts made by little hands ♥
 

Mix in a touch of exercise, family time, and shopping

 
with a dash or two of some yummy wine and fun company,

and you have two happy girlfriends!


Life is good when I've got my Lisa around. ☺

Hugs~
