A while back, Ian and I were perusing the aisles of Target and stumbled upon this entryway table.
The size was perfect for our entryway, put the price was not perfect for our budget. Ian made a few measurements and took a few pictures and voila!
Over Spring Break, I gave it a few coats of paint and we purchased the knobs at Anthropologie.
The best part, we saved about a hundred dollars with this DIY project!
For the past two years, I have enjoyed decorating our fireplace mantle for the holidays. I think that it looks its best at Christmastime.
I love how the white window stands out against the dark bricks. Thankfully, we had another old window up in the attic. I painted the trim white on this window, and then painted a tree onto the window. The finishing touches were two love birds.
I found this cute little saying on Pinterest, and Ian turned a king and queen chess piece for the trifecta!

Finally, over the Easter weekend, we added three new pieces of furniture to our front living room. It sat empty for the first two years. We just weren't sure how we were going to decorate the room. Then, we found this while shopping for a lamp at World Market.
Ian had the great idea to put a drafting table in front of the bay window. It is a perfect fit. It fills the space without blocking too much light or the air vent. We saw some industrial-looking shelves that we really liked, but decided to sleep on it. We thought that Ian would be able to recreate the shelves at a fraction of the cost. However, when we woke up the next morning, we decided that the metalwork on the shelves would be hard to duplicate and made this purchase.
We finally have a vision for this room. Our design style is industrial. We hope to add some leather club chairs in front of the fireplace sometime in the future. This room also needs some lighting options. Until then, we'll continue to watch HGTV for ideas and inspiration. We have enjoyed scouring the vintage stores downtown for industrial finds. We found these two items earlier this summer.
