It may not officially be summer on the calendar, but it sure is summer here! I felt it spray painting today's thrift store makeover for our monthly group!

We just returned from a trip of a lifetime to Italy. I can't wait to share it all with you in the weeks to come. It was so much better that I even dreamed.

Today's project was inspired by the ceiling in our hotel room in Rome. It was beautifully painted. I'm having major technical issues with my computer today so I'm going to try to get a photo added to this post of the ceiling later today. 

Shades of Blue Lamp Makeover

Before photo of Shades of Blue Lamp Makeover.

I found this lamp a while back in one of our local thrift stores. I love the shape, not so much the peeling decoupage and dirty shade. I peeled off the decoupage and had to sand it a little bit.

I picked up the perfect little burlap shade in Lowes. I like the contrast against the all white spray paint.

With artist brushes I painted the rim around the base and the top in a pretty blue-green paint. I painted 2 coats. I went across the top edge here with a very fine brush. I didn't want to tape for a crisp line. I wanted a hand painted look.

I then taped a Martha Stewart stencil to the center front of the lamp.

I ever so lightly distressed the blue-green areas. 

Finally, I applied 2 coats of a satin spray sealer.

It's perfect in my daughter's bedroom makeover which is a work in progress. We purchased white Ikea panels before leaving for the trip, but haven't had a chance to install them yet. Can't wait to show you the room. It's getting close. Gone are the green walls….hello sophisticated gray for the farmhouse look she is after. Ashlyn will be going away to college in the fall so it will be nice for her to have something more grown-up looking to come home to. We are doing it on a big-time budget!

I love how the colors work with the floral pillow. It's a 3-way lamp perfect for reading. Best of all……I got her seal of approval. She loves it!

    Oh my Christy! I love everything about this makeover. I hadn’t seen those shades, and I agree it’s perfect for the new look of the lamp.

    pinned!

Happy Saturday morning!!! Wow! I'm still going thr Happy Saturday morning!!! Wow! I'm still going through the comments on my last post as well as DM about going gray! I just colored my hair on Thursday morning so I've got a couple of weeks to decide. I'm going to go on and pause my eSalon order. Something that I was suprised to see was that many of you have tried this multiple times...some even 7 times. That makes me feel better. I can always color it again. 

What are you doing today? You'll find me in the mudroom painting today. I got a lot primed this week, but had to take a break to work on blog content. It can be hard sometimes being a one woman show. Our dining room has been a holding area for all the crap as I've been working to organize our home one junk drawer at a time. Y'all it's happening and getting organzied is life changing. 

This is one of my favorite spots in our dining room. This THRIFT STORE MIRROR MAKEOVER is one of my top posts on the blog. It's really simple to achieve with layering paint. I'll add the link to stories. You can also find it on the blog by going to my link in bio and searching for Thrifted Mirror Makeover or check out the Thrift Store Makeover Tab. Other thrifty finds in this shot: most of the plates around the mirror, the 2 round art pieces, blue and white vase, and tray.

I’ve had an insanely productive last couple of d I’ve had an insanely productive last couple of days! 5 blog posts have been shot!!! Back to painting tomorrow. I’ve got a serious 🧐 question for you??? Have you ever thought of letting your hair go natural? As in #silversisters natural? I turned 52 in December, and I’m so sick of it. I actually colored it today. Yes, I’ve done it myself for years. It doesn’t last and got so tired of the big bucks. I’ve been following a few accounts here for quite a while of other gals that have taken the plunge. They all look so vibrant, chic and young with their gray hair. (Same age) I have a very good friend that took the plunge this summer. She went drastic by buzz cutting her long dark hair. But was done with the coloring process. I can’t do that. I’ll have to go the skunk stripe route! 🦨 Just curious! Would love to hear you thoughts and if you’ve done this. Will today’s box of light brown be my last? Would anyone want to take the journey together?

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
