Gettin' It Done

Yesterday it felt like Andrea and I were on one of those crazy design shows where they have a limited amount of time and money to make over a space so they rush around all over town picking out furnishings and stay up well into the night assembling furniture, painting, hanging light fixtures... Probably because we had a limited amount of time and money to make over a space so we were rushing around all over town picking out furnishings and stayed up well into the night assembling furniture, painting, and hanging light fixtures. Yeah, that's probably why.

I call this the "Gettin' It Done" series...

Andrea gettin' it done at Ikea.


Andrea gettin' done at Salvation Army Thrift Store

and Andrea gettin' it done at Ohio Valley Antique Mall. That place is a wonderland of vintage goodness....

Wow.
Love it. It'd be such a sweet little eat-in-kitchen table.

I've got my eye on that little wooden table with the green top to replace my current desk/computer table. It'd match the green in the fireplace right next to it.

Some of the day's purchases-- wire baskets, an old radio, vintage suitcases, an old globe, pretty green and orange glasses...
..and these chairs and stools.

Andrea is working on redecorating a friend's office space downtown that's in a refurbished warehouse...super tall ceilings, giant windows, exposed brick. I'll show you pics in a few days when it's all done.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
