Before & After: Thrift Store Shelf

Link to Before & After: Thrift Store Shelf

When I saw this little shelf at the thrift store I got really excited.  I love fun thrift store furniture but I do not like faux wood pressed board or anything brown for the most part.  So I painted it Pistachio.  It took about 2 cans of spray paint because I maybe should have sanded it better but I am happy with the result. A little paint really helps sometimes.

Last week Ben and I received a wedding present and it is my favorite gift thus far other than our teapot.  I love our hammock so much that I think about it while I'm at work.  Earlier today I made a plan that included June and Zoe (our dogs), Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager, my backyard, Ben and our hammock.  So this Monday hasn't been half bad. We hung our hammock over our little creek.  So if you fall out, you get wet.  I think it is more...

My husband is wonderful and I have mentioned before that he makes mixed CDs (not actually mixed tapes) for me for holidays and random occasions.
