Well, at least for a little while I think!<br />
This is my first piece I have refinished in about 3 years. We needed a little extra money around here and so I thought I'd jump back into the game with this stunning piece.<br />
It is one of the better pieces I have ever work on. For being over 100 years old, it is in pristine condition. Drawers all slide easily, and the wood had no deep scratches or imperfections. It was a bit pricier than I normally buy, but totally worth it.<br />
I'm in the Atlanta area if you are interested. Email me at kbhaisten@gmail.com<br />

This used to be such a creative space for me. But in the past couple of years, my priorities have changed. But I guess that's what happens in life, as the years go by, so do our interests. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This used to be a space for me to write about my furniture and decorating choices. But if you've been here awhile you know that I've switched over to photography. I no longer paint furniture, and I really miss it. Not so much the looking for it or the hauling it, but I miss the process of changing something that someone threw away into an item that someone would pay $300 for. It's really an incredible way to earn a little extra money.</div>
<br />
When I started doing this, Miss Mustard Seed was still brand new. And I am one of the thousands that was inspired by her style. Over the next few years I painted and sold many, many pieces. But as I popped out one baby after the other, I realized this was something I could no longer keep up with.<br />
On another note, as my children got into school age, we realized we wanted to home school.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHbxSv3uULPYIXIhm7VFiQ6fTKd3T-Se_vCZSNbuz4WyDN5nwxDTcGHT-q1kp7NRkijeS-HUq4G28PxFaoIsD8-cGW45CTkr57OBbhHHyrDPh04KCs8LpwiBW0Dlry_Q4u31lZYmBIYRk/s1600/DSC_1921_NEF_embedded%252B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHbxSv3uULPYIXIhm7VFiQ6fTKd3T-Se_vCZSNbuz4WyDN5nwxDTcGHT-q1kp7NRkijeS-HUq4G28PxFaoIsD8-cGW45CTkr57OBbhHHyrDPh04KCs8LpwiBW0Dlry_Q4u31lZYmBIYRk/s640/DSC_1921_NEF_embedded%252B.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We focus a lot of time on being outdoors and learning from our environment. It's amazing to watch children thrive in a real world environment. We choose to go a different route when it came to home schooling, but more on that later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other than all of that going on, my photography business is thriving and I couldn't be happier. This has been a passion of mine since I was a young adolescent, and being able to earn some money while doing something I absolutely LOVE is an incredible feeling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I've decided I will pop in from time to time to talk about life, photography and home schooling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A lot has been happening and I want to share it here. My photography business that I started last spring, has made me so happy. I'm addicted to the feeling I get when I take a good picture and the clients love it.<br />

I've recently started trying to build up my couples portfolio. I mostly photograph families and children, which I adore, but I'm able to get much more creative with couples.<br />

The pictures you're seeing are of a recently engaged couple. They were such great sports and so beautiful. I'm thankful they allowed me to capture this special time in their lives.<br />

Between taking care of my 3 small children <i>and</i> this house, it was not feasible for me to to continue with the furniture business. </div>

So I've tried using my creativity to bring in some extra dough. I love refinishing furniture, but the reality of carrying out that process is proving too difficult for me to handle. <br />
<div>
After much thought, I'm moving on to my next creative adventure, photography. I'm in love with taking pictures, having pictures, and the overall activity of bringing out someone's best self through the camera lens. </div>

My mother is a photographer, so I have grown up around the business of photography and have learned more than enough to get started. <br />
I'm working on getting a portfolio together and a Facebook page to showcase my work. If this takes off I will be creating a website and business cards. I would love your support with this.<br />

Thank you all so much for your encouragement and following along as I discovered my passion for decorating and refinishing furniture. It is a possibility that I turn this into my photography blog, so I have a place to post recent pics for potential clients. But we'll just have to wait and see...<br />

I would love to have your support with this, so please head over and take a look at my facebook page.<br />

Christmas is fast approaching and my little darlings are so excited. I asked my 5 year old "What is Christmas?" And she said "Lights!"<br />
<br />
I love that her first response wasn't "presents!" But then we discussed what we believe to be true about what Christmas really means and why we celebrate it.<br />
<br />
My Christmas present to myself, was to get this chair completed before the big day. It's been an ongoing project for whenever I had free time. So you can guess that it's taken me....awhile. For those of you who don't know I've got 3 kids 5 and under.<br />

In order to do this well, I keep a few tips in mind.<br />
<br />
Tip #1: <b>Shop at thrift stores.</b><br />
You can score some pretty decent Christmas decor at the thrift store. Around Christmas time go to your local thrift store, and you'll see what I mean. People seem to get new decor and give away their old stuff. I got this pre-lit garland for $2.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Tip #2- <b>Use natural resources.</b><br />
Look around your neighborhood or local forests, depending on what part of the country you live in you can find some evergreen trees and snip some branches for free. I also brought in some pine cones from my back yard.<br />
I used clippings from a large evergreen to make my staircase garland. The boxwood wreath was $10 from Trader Joe's<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Tip #3- <b>Invest in a few key pieces and use them every year</b>.<br />
I've had this grapevine wreath for 3 years now. I use it for my <a href="http://www.btweenblueandyellow.blogspot.com/2014/10/fall-wreath.html">fall wreath</a> and <a href="http://btweenblueandyellow.blogspot.com/2011/11/diy-wreath.html">Christmas wreath</a>. Just change out the leaves and greenery every year. This wreath was made with my clippings. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4bVPlrjd1bL80jRda5pRN_P94yUHNwwRZp2bCte0RA_I3PqSlWqqp-SRsGk50xqdJfrVoNisPpG60oCkygYyYeHBbClr5l_Yx5VLMU_RSrYiAUdqfu7hcePGERPRfwIy5DTZCTP23El8/s1600/DSC_6052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4bVPlrjd1bL80jRda5pRN_P94yUHNwwRZp2bCte0RA_I3PqSlWqqp-SRsGk50xqdJfrVoNisPpG60oCkygYyYeHBbClr5l_Yx5VLMU_RSrYiAUdqfu7hcePGERPRfwIy5DTZCTP23El8/s1600/DSC_6052.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Tip #4- <b>Keep it simple.</b><br />
I don't over do my decor. Setting it up is fun, but taking it down can be a pain. I can just toss all the greenery in the trash or compost heap and stash the garland and wreath parts on the attic. Takes me about 15 min.<br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
One of my favorite things about cooler weather, is putting flannel sheets on the bed. Something about flannel just makes the world a better place.<br />
<br />
It has taken me a long while to finally find a color I wanted to paint this dresser for my husband's side of the bed. But when <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/">Jenna Sue</a> posted her living room reveal and showed this great little <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2014/10/living-room-details-diy-cabinet-tree.html">piece</a> she built, I new that was the color I wanted.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The color is mountain smoke by Valspar.</div>

I love that I can wear shorts or jeans and be comfortable in either.<br />
<br />
The leaves in my neighborhood are just starting to change, and I scrounged around in my yard for vibrant leaves to use in my wreath. <br />
<br />
I'm a huge fan of using what I already have to make something new. It gives me a gratifying sense of accomplishment, when I don't have to spend any money.<br />

I used a grapevine wreath from Joann I bought last year, along with some fake berry accessories.<br />
Then I simply added real leaves that I found around my yard. I tucked them all in around the wreath. Took me all of 10-15 minutes.<br />

If you have a bay window, then you may empathize with me. Those curtain rods are crazy expensive! I have a total of three bay windows in my house. When we first moved in I looked everywhere for an inexpensive rod, there were none to be found. So I resorted to using a swing type rod and made do. <br />
<br />
Over the next few years, every time I stopped by certain stores I would look to see if there were any rods on sale. No luck.<br />
<br />
I used Pinterest to search DIY rods, and found a good one where they used a bendable metal pipe. I got one and tried it out. Then put it in the basement and forgot about it.<br />
<br />
Finally, I came across a blog (don't remember which one) that showed how you can use a bendable curtain rod from Ikea to make a bay window rod.<br />
<br />

We are preparing for a busy weekend. A visit with family, whom I haven't seen in years and a trip to the fair with new friends. But I wanted to get these pictures up and talk to you about my counter tops. Many of you have been asking about them :)<br />
<br />
<br />
A while back I was offered the chance to try out <a href="http://gianigranite.com/">Giani Granite counter top paint</a>. My counter tops were less than ideal, you know that old fake butcher block look that was oh so popular in the early 80's. So I decided to give it a try, nothing could be worse than what I already had, I had nothing to lose. <br />
<br />
<br />

The first time around went smoothly, you can see the before pictures and read about it <a href="http://btweenblueandyellow.blogspot.com/2012/01/giani-granite-paint-review-and-give.html">here.</a> But after about a year or so, a few areas started to chip and peel. Looking a little like this.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sad.</div>
<br />

<br />
Mostly in the heavily used areas only, and around the edges. So I called the company and told them about my problem. They were more than happy to send along a new kit including a more industrial top coat. They were having problems with their old one, so they reformulated it and made it more durable.<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
And then, round two of painting my counter tops! Good times....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently we do not have new counter tops in the budget, so this has been a satisfactory substitute for the real thing.</div>
<br />
I accessed my creative spirit and tried my best to make this look something like marble. And I believe I did pretty darn good job. This is a cheap alternative for those of you out there with imperfect counters. <br />
<br />
You can find the answers to any questions you have about this paint on their <a href="http://gianigranite.com/">website.</a> And their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Giani-Granite/118962204783182">facebook page</a> has some great before/after photos.<br />

About 2 years ago we finished our kitchen remodel. I finally got around to styling it and taking some photos this weekend. <br />
<br />
Let's start with what you see when you walk in the back door. This area is where we drop our bags, shoes and such. <a href="http://btweenblueandyellow.blogspot.com/2013/10/finished-bench.html">The bench</a> is a curbside find in my neighborhood. I fixed it up and now it is a functional piece of furniture.<br />

We worked very hard and on a ridiculously tight budget to create a kitchen we love. Every thing together cost a little over $2,000.<br />

I've never called myself a baker. I usually get distracted while baking and leave something out, like butter in my last cake.</div>

A boy and a balloon, is there anything better?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a tip that some of you may know about, but Dollar Tree has $1 balloons. Those nice shiny types, that lasts for days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason I tell you this is because last time I spent $15 for 12 regular latex balloons that wilted after one day. </div>

I'm able to have a little more free time during naps to complete some projects. My sweet new baby is 8 months and I also have to keep up with my energetic three year old. But gosh darn it if I can try and sell some furniture while I do it all.<br />
<br />
I'm calling this a closet, because it originally had doors on it. I like the look of an open closet, especially when you have lovely blankets and sheets to show off.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I think this would look excellent in a guest room or at the end of a hallway. It also has a rod tucked into the top so you can hang clothes on it as well. I would love to keep this. I realized as I was gathering blankets from around the house there wasn't a central location for all of my extra blankets. They all reside in separate closets or are strewn around the house.</span><br />

I had never done something like this before, so I figured I'd give it a try.<br />
Turns out, I loved it and I wouldn't mind doing it again.<br />
<br />

<br />
The challenge was to use one of their <a href="https://www.chairish.com/collection/accent-chairs">accent chairs</a> to create a colorful room design. I chose this gorgeous little orange number and I loved the idea of using two of them in the room.<br />
<br />
The butterfly print is one I have always loved and I feel it really brings together all the colors in the room.<br />
I chose this rug from Chairish as well. I think vintage looking rugs really stand out among more modern furniture.<br />
<br />
The lamp I chose because of it's elegant shape and soft, blue hue. I love blue with orange.<br />
<br />
The console table I chose is simple and classic. It stands out just enough but doesn't steal the show.<br />
<br />
The curtains add a little texture to the room, I love the fringe on them. The blue goes nicely with the other colors in the room.<br />
<br />
And the sofa is just cool. Grey and turquoise is one of my favorite color combos. <br />

They're long gone I tell you, looooong gone.<br />
Gone are the days of sleeping in until 11, 80's movies on repeat and having no where to be.<br />
<br />
This Summer has been a bit challenging, but also so much fun. Having three small children to entertain all day every day, has been such a drastic change from my earlier years as a free agent.<br />

<br />
Anywho, enough about me missing my summer days as a teen, I have a new furniture reveal for you!<br />
<br />
I've been sitting on this one for awhile, but there's nothing like a visit with some blog buddies to inspire me to get back in touch with my creativity.<br />

It's being held at the Palazzo Rosa House in Buckhead and it will be open until May 18th.<br />
<br />
I've never been busier in my life, this is a season in time where I sometimes don't even know what day it is. But I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.<br />
<br />
I plan to start picking up the furniture painting thing again really soon. I need a little something in my life that's just for me right now, also we could use the extra moolah.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, now for some beautiful eye candy.<br />

I've been crossing off my to-do list frequently, but several things still remain.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to show you the reveal of my 2 year olds new big girl room. She still seems a little young to be transitioned into a big girl bed, but we have no choice. This baby is coming and he needs the crib.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've also been working on the new crib bedding, still have to sew the bumper. Finding the time is difficult, every body seems to want to "help" when I drag out the sewing machine.<br />
<br />
I hope you all stick around to see the new changes we will be making.
Although posts will continue to be sporadic, I thoroughly enjoy showing new projects to you!<br />

I'm thinking it may have been a part of a radio cabinet, maybe? Let me know if you have any ideas.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago I showed you <a href="http://btweenblueandyellow.blogspot.com/2013/09/barn-wood-shelf.html">this area </a>by my back door that we are turning into a semi-mudroom. Over the weekend I finally finished the bench by putting on the nail head trim.<br />

We had a nice long rain storm last night that brought in a crisp new feeling to the air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with this new cold front coming, I finally got the urge to paint the dresser that has been sitting on my porch since before I found out I was pregnant.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was about 6 months ago.</div>

The cabinet doors were in bad shape, and as adorable as they were, I decided to take them off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In doing so I turned it into a linen chest. It would be perfect in a hallway, bathroom or guest room.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We are half way finished with a small project we've been working on by the back door. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"> I'd been dreaming of a quaint little mudroom area near the back of my
kitchen for years now. A place for my family to organize their shoes,
bags, coats and other catch all items.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">Simply typing "barn wood shelf" into Craigslist, directed me to a nice guy who had some old barn wood and made these shelves in his spare time. He used my <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/123567583499228602/">inspiration picture </a>from Pinterest. And I got the hooks from Hobby Lobby. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's exactly what this space needed. Previously there was just a small basket to hold everything. Which was always spilling out onto the floor and becoming a tripping hazard. </span></span></div>

Which is why you haven't seen me around much.<br />
<br />
I want to share with you all some of the most exciting news I've ever received in my life. I'm carrying a little boy inside me.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">With my two girls, it came as no surprise when the doctor revealed their gender. I knew in my heart that both of them were girls. This one, I was only ab</span>out 70% sure.<br />
<br />
So when we saw the little boy parts on the screen, I was shocked and confused. "What in the world am I going to do with a little boy?!" I'll be honest with you, I was not expecting that.<br />
<br />
But now that I've had a few days to get used to the idea, I'm becoming very excited. I know boys pretty well. During my young babysitting career I watched mostly boys, and I have two male nephews. So I have a general idea of what to expect. Hence my apprehension about having a boy. They are busy! But I know how imaginative and fun they are, so I'm really looking forward to the new addition to our family.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, onto the next topic at hand, my new dresser.<br />
