I don't like to complain but I have to admit I am a lil tired this Monday! I spent the weekend, painting, baking and playing. I have a huge pile o laundry and jury duty looming ahead! I am not dreading the jury duty so much as having to leave baby girl. I haven't really left her except with an occasionally jaunt to the store while she's taking a nap at my Moms. I know that probably sounds weird to people, but I just don't want to leave her! Maybe it will get easier later on. I am really hoping they won't even need me.
So without further ado here are the happenings at my home.
I found this kinda ugly GW coffee table and with a little paint turned it into a treasure.
Once I finished with the coffee table I was in the painting mood so I then decided to paint the desk that was in our bedroom. When I finished I moved it downstairs. For some reason I always thought it would be fun to have a desk in front of our front window. I then moved our chair from the bathroom. All the other chairs I tried seemed too oppressive with the dainty desk. I think it turned out pretty, soft and feminine!
So what cha think luvs?
Thank you to these two lovely ladies for Inpiration! Good Girl Gone Glad and Just Bella

Leah, love love love the coffee table!
I can't believe that coffee table could turn out so good! You really do have an eye for these things!
Am amazed at how much you get done - you really do put me to shame! They both look great!
That's amazing how a little paint can turn that coffee table from drab to fab! Sorry about jury duty :(

Both pieces are great. :) I really like that desk in front of the window, though! It must be so inspiring to sit at and look out. :)
Desk is lovely! I totally get you about not wanting to leave the little one. I have never had a babysitter other than Grandmas or Aunties... lucky, I guess!
Both pieces are fantastic!! Wouldn't you know I have jury duty looming over my head too - ugh!! Anyway, I'm glad you had such a productive weekend!!
That little desk is so cute! I think the chair would look fabulous with some hot pink velvet on it. Rest up!
Oh, these pieces look pretty amazing!
Love everything white, nice job!
Lovely greetings...
That coffee table turned out so great! I think you need to take me thrift shopping with you... you've got such a good eye!
wow i would have never seen past something so ugly! Good Job!!!!
These are so AWESOME Leah!!! Omg, I'm in love with that desk.. I need you here to help me find these gems.. you are awesome!
I really hope jury duty doesn't pan out.. I know what you mean about leaving your girl.. it's hard! I've never done it except for school, playdates and now sleepovers. I find even that something to get used to. Crossing my fingers for you here...
Love that coffee table. I would have seen it and passed right by it, I never think to "redo" something. Looks beautiful and brand new!
I LOVE this! That's what I want to do for a career, is refurbish furniture!
I just love making ugly things into beautiful treasures!
And your blog is so fun :)
♥
Your endless amount of creativity continues to amaze me!
You see the potential in things most people cannot! Thanks to you, so many old pieces that have lived their lives and been dumped at GW are now getting a new life.... One that's much brighter, more colorful, and full of love:)
Leah!! These both turned out so great! I love the chair you paired with your desk too! Way to go girl! =)

The coffee table and desk look great! That coffee table's transformation is amazing. Great job!!
Fabulous desk! Does it have a before picture? Kellie xx

Leah, your projects look amazing!! Those colorful pillows are absolutely fantastic!! I love all the little fun touches that you have in that room. And that table looks so great painted white- very modern.
The desk is just perfect in front of that window. I could see myself sitting there writing cards to friends and blogging!
sigh, your home and creativeness never cease to amaze me! that coffee table is gorg!
Wow, that coffee table looks great! I think I'll be making a trip to Goodwill this weekend to see what I can find :)
