Brushes & Bolts : June 2014

Ryan I want a farm/rustic style bedframe!! That comment lead to Ryan building our bedframe...which of course started by. "Oh yeah, no problem! I will can make that." As he was looking at an image. So we head to HomeDepot to get everything...and we stand there in the lumber area for a good hour just trying to figure out sizes!! My phone was dying as I am searching and searching for the blog with my dream bedframe, I was hungry and if you know me, well you know that isn't a good thing! And Ryan hasn't a clue on what we te frame looks like.

In the end, he built one and to be honest I love it! All the details aren't finished but it functions and it is our and completely unique and totally our style!!

He was building this while I was in Florida surprising my family ...he knew I would want pictures and remembered I stop and take some :)

I used the extra shims from out front entry nook and covered three of the sides. We are going to do it as a headboard as well...probably once we stop having a life :)

Next up we have a wooden table from an antique store in Walker, MN

I wanted to make it look older and white so I created some DIY chalk pair and it to it!

Ya da! Totally winged it but love the turn out! I use it as my nightstand now.

The chair in the photos was at a dumpster for 5 others so we grabbed those too and...after some foam, outdoor fabric and outdoor spray paint they look like this:

Our projects are always happening so with out boring you to death I'll just show you the pictures!

Part of the main level living room

WARNING!!!! sorry I am a terrible speller......Below I spelled Challenge wrong.

Guest room ...clearly.

Too bad our ugly screen door covers this

Oh and did I mention that we got a dog?

We adopted "Razz" from Pandas Pets Rescue here in Minneapolis just this past weekend. I found him online and instantly wanted him! We always look at adoption sites but never felt the desire to actually contact on one...until I saw this one! Then for a few days I thought he had been adopted and was so sad! Turns out he didn't find the right for yet which lead to us :) we changed it his and he fits right in...just has about 7 times the entry we have at ALL times!

Lennon is 10 months and already 70lbs!!! He is a Great Dane... we think Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Mix. He is pretty dang big already and will grow for at least another 8 months!
