GrandWill

Our grandpa recently moved in with our parents and consequently, we got to raid his house.  

{That sound SO bad, we know!!!  Don't judge!}

Anyway here are a few things we snagged inherited from our very own Grandwill {get it? instead of Goodwill?  oh, that's a long shot?  hmmm... Kristi thought it was clever but I'll tell her otherwise! lol}

Without further adieu:

• Pic #1: these 2 end tables were a definate score, they're gorgeous as is..the lamps will get spray job & new shades. 
• Pic #2: This hutch has a metal quarterfoil screen...goes to show vintage is makin a comeback!  It'll get a full makeover, whoop! The elephant will be painted turquoise probably, love the others as is.
• Pic #3: Suitcase will be a fabric holder in Kel's new craft room, lamp will get a fresh shade & a bit of a paint makeover.

This coffee table has some wierd wood inserts, we're hoping a good sanding/caulking will let us refinish the top because the shape of it is so pretty..they just don't make furniture like this anymore!

Believe us, after 2 trips to Washington DC de-junking his home {2 trips to the dump, 3 to the donation center, *filling a ginormous city garbage container to the brim!!* and countless hours actually cleaning & scrubbing} we definitely EARNED it ;) 

.   .   .

And while going through hoards of boxes, papers & photos...we found our elementary pictures. Diggin the matching perms..any other 80's babies out there?! Don't tell us we're alone! ;)

Can't resist a PS for this special guy:

Happy 1st birthday to our little photo helper!  Kristi's baby boy is sicker than a dog so his monster bash for tonight is cancelled.  But we'll have a simple dinner this wknd instead...look forward to adorable pics&tips and in the meantime, we love you Kaseface!  xoxo
