Simple Table

I'm obsessed with stores like Pier 1, West Elm, and Pottery Barn.....But I just can't afford their stuff!! I'll be the one to confess I'm constantly browsing their websites & envisioning the furniture in my desired  space. I'm no interior designer, one day maybe? Simple is my motto, why go overboard when simplicity should be the everyday thing.

“Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.” — Oscar Wilde


This table has been designed for under $25.00!!! 
-2 Saw Horse Kits
- A Couple 2 By 4's
-2 Pine boards (size is up to you) 

D.I.Y Chairs

I do have to mention this cute antique store here in SW Florida where everyone is entitled to stop by if your in the area. The Mother Load Trinkets & Treasures located in Bonita Springs, Florida is a place where time should not matter. You can walk through this tiny little gem and yet miss the best. One day when I was feeling crafty and handy I decided to stop here. I found 4 old dining room chairs in mint condition, they were dark as coal. I'm a little on the bold side, so I decided after sanding and stripping these down to paint them Apple Red!
