Weekend Finds

Happy Monday Everyone! (is there really such a thing?) I hate when my weekends are over! Especially when they are beautiful like this weekend was. It really felt like fall here in Atlanta, it was so nice! I love the cool mornings of fall! 

 

We have been searching for several things for the house recently; these lists always seem never ending! We did so many projects when we moved in and now things have kind of slowed down and we are settled so we know what we need/want. This weekend we knocked a few off the list and may have landed a purchase not on the list as well!

I found this piece at Hobby Lobby! Our house was built in 1966 and the kitchen doesn't have a whole lot of storage. We don't have a pantry at all, so we needed something. I think it goes well with our kitchen! Best thing is, I used the 40% off coupon from Hobby Lobby! I love a good deal. :)

New Rug! Have y'all noticed that Macy is in EVERY picture I take? She manages to always sneak in there!

 

This little robot vacuum may have not been on our list BUT it is now our best friend! The only thing I don't particularly care for is that it kind of looks like Alabama colors. There wasn't an orange or blue option and since we do love how it works, I guess it's ok...

Shutters

We have shutters! I posted a teaser picture a few weeks ago and planned on posting this much earlier, but we got busy traveling! Things are hopefully slowing down a little bit and I will post a tutorial soon, but I wanted to share some pictures of our finished product. Tyler made them and I could not be more proud!! :)

My love!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Not the best pictures, but weather here in Atlanta has been terrible lately! Maybe when it gets pretty outside I can re-take some pics for the tutorial.
Don't mind the bushes in the front...we are getting everything re-done in September Woo!!

I am so happy with how these turned out! We plan on painting our brick a tan color one day, that is why we went with the dark brown! I think it will look amazing! Another renovation done at the Dunaway's! Yay!

Long time, no talk

It has been a little bit of time since my last post..ok A LOT of time! I plan to ease back into the blogging slowly but surely! With quite a bit going on in my personal and work life I have put the ole blog on the back burner for a bit. We were traveling to be with family a good bit of time in the past few months, but I believe everything has settled down now. With that, I [by I, I mean my hubs] have been working on a new project that I can not wait to share with everyone! It is not completely finished, so this is totally a teaser. We are hoping to have a finished project by this weekend! Until then, here is a teaser pic..

 Anyone have an idea of what's going on at the Dunaway House?

DIY: Coffee table/ottoman upcycle

Let me start by saying I am so happy that I finished this DIY project!! I have been waiting to get around to it for various reasons and am so excited that it is now complete! When I found this coffee table at a local thrift store a few months back I couldn't wait to try and turn it in to something great like all these pictures I have been pinning!

So this is where the project began...when I scored this not-so-awesome table for $26 wanting to make it in to something awesome!

A few fabric samples, some cutting (courtesy of my awesome hubby), foam, upholstery batting, paint and sand paper later; we have ourselves an ottoman/coffee table. It turned out pretty big so it doesn't really seem like an ottoman and I'm not 100% sure on what I should call it yet. We are happy with it nonetheless! Yay for another successful DIY!

Macy sneaks in all the pictures...check out her creepin' in the painting pic below..

Painting!

Before and After

P.S. Don't mind the rug...there will be a new one soon!

Vegas Trip...in Pictures

And we're off...

We had such a great time in Vegas! The first night we went to New York New York and had dinner and played a few games. First night in Vegas:

The next day we woke up and were off to see everything we could! We walked down almost the entire strip going from casino to casino to see everything!

Beautiful details everywhere!

 

Loved all the different characters dressed up!

Bellagio Water Show was awesome!

Dinner at Diablo's! Yum!

We had to go to a show! Mystere: the original Cirque!

Sadly, I don't have any pictures from when we went to Fremont Street, but that was one of our favorite things we did! We had a great time there!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday y'all!!
Here we are again to share some of my favorite finds this week!
My husband and I are taking a trip to Vegas soon, so most of my purchases the last few weeks have revolved around that! I found both of these items at Dress Up Boutique.
Hurry in, because they are offering $10 off $50 or more purchase!
(too bad I missed it by a day)

I thought this skirt was perfect for Vegas!

I love the detail on the back of the dress and it is a flattering fit! I think I am going to pair the skirt with a short sleeved sheer red top. What do y'all think? 

Last but not least... I can't forget this wonderful purchase...it may make a debut in the beauty series soon!

Next stop...
