MISS CARIBBEAN BREEZE

WITH THE WEATHER NEARING THE 60'S THIS WEEK
I GOT A GLIMPSE OF TROPICAL COLORS IN MY MIND.
SO I WANTED TO BRING A LITTLE OF THIS LOOK INTO MY HOME

I OPENED THE WINDOW AND SHE
CAME IN WITH THE BREEZE.


HERE IS WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE BEFORE HER TROPICAL TRANFORMATION
AT A COST OF 14.99
I DONT KNOW IF YOU WOULD CALL THIS COUNTRY CHIC, BUT I WASNT
FEELING IT, AND IT DEFINITELY
WAS NOT THE TROPICAL FEEL.


BEFORE...
THE IN- BETWEEN


AFTER...


INTRODUCING THE BEAUTIFUL
MISS CARIBBEAN BREEZE...




I LOVE HER...
DO YOU THINK HE'LL NOTICE
HER?

    Wow! That's quite the revamp. It looks fabulous, great job. If he doesn't notice, he's just a typical boy.

    I liked the before but it was limiting. The after reminds me of some of the furniture in Key west.

    Lauren,
    Thanks for visiting my blog and becoming a follower. I am your newest follower also. Did you read my mind today? Or did you overhear me telling Donna @ Painted fresh, how much I like blogs with furniture makeovers! I love them, such inspiration. I laughed when I saw that cartoon on this post(and downloaded it), because I too have a fiance and I feel the same way. I sometimes hide things, because the projects are starting to stack up. But, I can't pass up a deal, or an old piece of furniture that needs my help. At least I'm not bringing home stray animals. ; )
    Nice to meet you! I look forward to your posts!
    Susan : )

    Oh man, girl, if he doesn't like it, can I have it. I just think this might be my favorite redo you've done. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE everything about her, and I couldn't even see the knobs before, or anything, how hideous it looked, yucky, I wasn't feeling that before, and wouldn't even in a million years.

    NOW, she takes my breath away. I sooooo want a cute little table like that, EXACTLY like that.

    Thanks so much for AMWAYS sharing your fabulous pieces at my party Bella Before and After--- **Amaze me AUgust**, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having you!!!

    Hugs,

    Bella :)
