February | 2014 | VivaLaVintage - For Your Home

I’m taking a break from my Breaking Bad marathon (yes – your Vintage Girl is hooked – thanks to Amir & Amina) to begin making a few changes in my Dining Room.. This room has been needing a few updates.. the color scheme is a bit off). I started with this corner table just to see if I’m headed in headed in the right direction.

This table seems to blend into the wall. I decided it’s time for a change. I love the wall color and didn’t want to change it so, I’ll start with the furniture. I know you’re probably saying “Oh no.. it’s wood – don’t” I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, aimed and began to spray. The table is being painted a creamy almond color. So here’s the before:

Here’s the after:

Time to get it back in place:

I think it’s starting to look better already…The corner looks brighter.. and the table isn’t hidden in the wall.

I have to admit I was a bit scared about it, but I’m happy I did it.

All these pretty pictures of snow during the winter months were nice to look at but honestly speaking – I’m done with winter. I took a stroll through my yard and realized just how damaging the cold weather is. It gets kind of depressing knowing all my summer hard work goes to pot. Sure the logic is … it gives the perennials time to rest so they can bloom again, but I guess I’m just the ansy soul patiently waiting to see them come again. Oh and #1 factor – I hate being cold!! Yes – it did give me the reason to have my night time treat of hot chocolate.. which I do love..mmmm… nestle makes the best. I use hot water when I make it but I fill the mug halfway then add the International French Vanilla to the remaining full then add whipped cream and that’s my chocolatey winter delight (and a couple brownie brittles to go with it..hehehe) – what can I say.. I love chocolate.. 🙂
