More Rattan Chairs

Hey y'all!

I wanted to share these rattan chairs with you! This is one of the projects I've done since last September ;) so I apologize for the lack of pictures!

Dalton spotted these rattan chairs in Goodwill when I was out of town one weekend, and sent me a picture as he was leaving the store. I told him to go back and get them, and he claimed that they had been bought when he came back for them. When I returned home on Sunday, these beauties were waiting for me. :)

Maybe my favorite surprise ever.

There are only three of them, but that works for me! They sat in this spot for a few weeks, until I finally got around to recovering them. I wiped them down to remove the dirt and cobwebs, and I thought they looked good enough to leave unpainted! Here's the finished product.

Of course the third one was recovered, as well. :)

They are currently scattered around the house- one in Dalton's room as a desk chair (goodbye tacky rolling chair!), one is at the head of the dining room table, and one is an accent chair. 

Recently I've been in a "keep the natural stain of the wood" funk, so for now I'm enjoying them sans paint! What do you think?

Until next time!

Where I've Been!

HELLOOO Blog friends!!

SUPER LONG time, no see. Boy, do I have a lot to catch you up on! 

One of the main reasons I've been absent is because my old laptop finally puffed its last breath. Thankfully, I got a new laptop for Christmas (thanks mom)! And here we are in April, but "A" for effort, right? I'm going to try to start blogging again, as I miss sharing what's going on in my life with the world!

Secondly, I've moved!! That's right... I said goodbye to my sweet little apartment and moved into a... (drumroll) HOUSE! Actually, it's just a rental ;) and I've been here since the beginning of November. Ellie and I moved in with my boyfriend, Dalton, and his dog, Winston. I can't wait to share some pictures of how things look around here!

For now, let me update you on what's happened in the past 9 months. 

I got a new car!

Ellie was a sushi roll for Halloween...

And I was Ellie... (no surprise here)

I moved out of 110...

And into the house, just in time for Christmas decorating! ;)

I've been decorating the house... (more to come on this!!)

We had a big snow!

Dalton set up the cutest Valentine's surprise dinner...

Complete with a three course meal for the dogs!

I found an awesome spool bed for Dalton's room...

And made some gigantic pillows for the bed!

But most importantly, Ellie is L-O-V-I-N-G living here, with her best friend (Winston) and her own personal fence! Just look at the expression on her sweet little face! :)

I'm going to try my best to be back soon, with updates on recent projects! 
Happy Spring, friends!

Until next time,
Emmi
