A June Project

My sweet cousin, Louann, who lives in Anderson, SC needed help getting her home ready to put on the market. So my sister, Krista, and daughter, Audrey, and I loaded up the cars and trailer and headed up! We had set aside a week in June to kick it into high gear and get it done.  So I loaded my car and trailer with paint supplies and lots of accessories and headed to South Carolina. Louann, being the minimalist that she is, about fell over when I pulled up!


I have arrived, be prepared!

We started painting that afternoon. We tried to get Living room and Dining room painted that night. This was just the beginning of many busy days painting, scraping, decorating, repairing, and so much more.
   
Living Room
Living room:  This room was painted, then different drapes were added and for the final touch, we used old windows as art work.





Dining Room

Dining room:
Check out this light fixture!  It was a boring brass
so we painted it and added some glass beads for sparkle and glamour to update it. The furniture is the same, it's just rearranged. , 







  
Sun Room

Sunroom:  
This is one of the best rooms in the house.
We hung a swing and added some chairs and pillows.  The colorful pillows are
made from little girls' skirts found at the thrift store.
The sunroom is very cozy and inviting.





Bedroom 

Bed Room:
This bedroom turned out
great!  We rearranged and 
bought new bedding at
Target. We slept in this bedroom each night. Our dogs Dottie and Jack liked being there too!
We even had dinner in bed one night.  Louann was so thoughtful to bring us dinner!!




Bathroom

Bath room: The bathroom really surprised us all.  Fresh 
    paint, new towels and cheap decor made a huge difference. 
On the wall is a repurposed branch from the yard with little paper 
leaves glued on.  Very cute and very cheap!
