HELP! Twin Beds with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Country Grey

I have two of these beds and am using Annie Sloan chalk paint in Country Grey.  I'm doing one at a time so I can figure out exactly what I want to do to them.  I figure if I do one at a time it will be much easier and quicker to do the second one once I know exactly how I want it to look.

That one has two coats of paint on it and I'm about to play around with dark and clear wax.  The dark wax will give it a weathered look and I guess that would be a good thing in order to hide future knicks but I'm not sure how to go about it just yet.  I like the way it looks on some things but sometimes...the shabby chic look can be a bit too shabby to me you know?  So...that's my dilemma.

I'd like to highlight the details on the beds.

What do YOU think?  Distress the details only or try and lightly distress the entire bed?  Do you like the color I picked?  Remember...they are going in a navy blue bedroom that I want to make gender neutral.  

I've been buying old flag decor and keeping it all together with the receipts in case I change my mind because I saw something recently that REALLY caught my eye that incorporated the color orange in the decor of a navy room.  Nice right?

What would YOU do?  Holla atcha girl.

New Projects!!!!!

Sooooooooo...

I'm taking this whole refinishing furniture thingy by the horns.  LOL!  I'm enjoying it so much!  Taking something well made but in need of modernization feels really good.  

Today I went out to my now new FAVORITE place in the world and returned with two really nice wood twin beds.  Headboard, footboard, rails, et al.  The price was ridiculously awesome and what made it even more awesome is that a family member decided to gift them to me for Christmas and called ahead to pay for them for me.  When I texted the family member to threaten to fight them they were all like...BRING IT!  And...SAY IT WITCHA CHEST!

I decided family shouldn't fight for Christmas and well...they'd prolly win anyway soooooo...

MERRY CHRISTMAS ME!!!!!!  GO ME!  IT'S MY CHRISTMAS!  GO ME!  IT'S MY CHRISTMAS!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!  I FEEL SO BLESSED THAT YOU LOVE ME SO!

So...I'm, of course, chomping at the bit to get them started.  I bought the paint I want to use on them and will probably do them tomorrow.  I'm putting them in a room that is navy blue and I want to make it super relaxing and still fun for guests who are kids.

Now...the thing I'm SUPER DOOPER excited about starting?  THIS!

Maaaaaaaaaan look!  I couldn't fit it in Deuce, of course so I couldn't bring it home.  The Robinator is in deadline mode so he might not be able to help me go get it until Saturday.

WILL I SURVIVE?????????????????????????

This will certainly be a test of patience as I have none when it comes to doing what I want to do when I want to do it.  So now...we wait.  And while we wait...we do the most searching out stuff online to help make it look like I want it to look.  I just ordered this:  AMACO Rub 'n Buff Wax Metallic Finish, Antique Gold, so I could get the brass handles to have a really awesome bright color.  The pull on the top drawer is missing so I need to either find a replace for that one or three to replace them all.  I hope to identify that before I go to bed.  LOL!

I have my Annie Sloan chalk paints already.  I know exactly how I want it to look.  Just gotta get it here and get started.

PATIENCE MONNIE!  PATIENCE!

So...yeah...

I can't do nuttin tonight though.  *sigh*

Easy and Cheap Bath Product Storage!

Yall know I love an organized house!  Seriously...

Sometimes though?  Organizing can be a challenge.  Take this challenge I had.  The tub is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over there and there is nothing convenient to store your bath products in that you'd use while taking a bubble bath.  So I had them under the sink first and then on a corner shelf rack but it wasn't really easily accessible for when I needed something while already IN the tub.

I had these two stackable baskets that I was going to use under a sink in the guest bathroom.  And I always have wall hooks.  I put two wall hooks per basket on the wall and hung them baskets from them right at the foot of the tub.  PERFECT!

GO ME!

How easy and awesome is that?????????

Easy and Cheap Scarf Storage

I have some of those scarf hangers but they only have 5 holes.  You could put more than one scarf in each hole but you were back to searching through scarves again.

And apparently...I have a lot of scarves but only wear a select few.  You know...the ones on top.  LOL!

So...I went to the dollar store and got a few packs of those cheap plastic shower curtain rings.  You know...the ones that snap from back in the day?  Yeah...those.

Then...I snapped some on a hanger and hung my scarves.

Me likey.  Big time.  :)
