July Update

Hi Everyone!

My apologies for my recent absence! I've had lots going on, and just haven't had time to blog. I guess that's a good thing though, right? Let this post serve as an update to what's been going on in my life...

The most blog-relevant thing that has happened since my last post is this campaign dresser!


I found this Dixie Campaigner (and it's matching side table) at a junk store in Statesville, NC. I scored both for just $40! As soon as I got it home, I knew it would look great with liquor bottles on it! (Yes, this means my poor little pie safe has been stripped of it's bar duties. But don't worry, I've found an even better use for it!) I LOVE this set up so much, and I'm also loving that this dresser isn't in perfect condition. (Un)fortunately the laminate is chipping in some places, but sometimes I like when furniture looks "well-loved!" Don't you think it looks nice here? You know I do. :) 

I currently have no use for it's matching side table (shorter, with two drawers) and have posted it on Craigslist. Anyone interested? ;) hehe

Other happenings in the past few weeks...

...My friends and I threw a 4th of July party! We kind of match, right?

...We joined my family in Santa Rosa Beach, FL for a couple days of beach vacation! How pretty is this water?

...I got to see both of my brothers!

...Dalton and I visited the Georgia Botanical Gardens in Athens, GA on the way back to NC.

...I got to experience a little UGA night life.

...And after a week of traveling, I was so happy to be in my little apartment snuggling with these puppies!

Hope you didn't miss me too much! I'll be back in the near future with some project updates.

Until next time!
Emmi and Ellie
