Snippets from the weekend

I found lots of good stuff this weekend that I wanted to show you.
I got a great book holder that looks perfect next to the new rocking chair. It was green, but I painted it white.
I have a gallon of Cottage White paint, by Behr. You can get it at Home Depot and I repaint a lot of stuff with it. Sometimes you find something that you love, but you know it won't go in your home, and this is the perfect solution.

I also found a great egg print for our bathroom. I had the frame already, but it was brown. I painted it then went over it with sand paper when it was dry to give it a distressed look.

I found this little table that was waiting to be made into a footstool. It was the perfect height and I liked the legs. This is the before picture.

This is the after. I painted the legs, and wrapped the whole thing with two layers of batting and stapled it on with a staple gun. I made the slip cover out of utility cotton that I found at Joann's. It is displayed by the muslin. I also bought the ruffle there too. It is so much easier to but it by the yard than to make it yourself.

I got my inspiration from a footstool that I saw in this Country Living article.

I love this little cradle I got for Anna. Her birthday is in a month, so I am going to give it to her then. I am going to make a pillow and quilt for it first.

So many of you have asked about the chickens. Here is a sneak peek at the coop. We are almost done decorating, I mean building it. Ahem.

They will get here late next week. I promise, lots of pictures when they arrive!
