Side Table Makeover

Since getting married I've been working on designing our living space and one of the things I'm always proud of is being able to repurpose something we already own. Our colors are shifting towards white, grays and golds so I took this table, spray painted it gold and replaced the glass piece with some reclaimed wood we got from Home Depot. We discovered if you go to the back of the lumber department they often have scrap wood that can be 70% off, and ours was such a small piece he gave it to us for free! The only issue I'm having is the spray paint chipping, so I will have to find a good protective coat. Any suggestions are welcome!! Anyway, all that's left to do is one final gold coat and stain the wood. I think it's a really nice change. I will post the end result soon!






Pretty in Pink Hair

A friend of mine recently dyed my hair pink and I think she did a fantastic job because with all the different streaks of color in it, there's such a nice texture. It's basically what pink hair would look like if it was natural (I wish!). Here are a few shots right after she finished and also paired with the dress I sewed in my last post.
