Life Lately...

Hi, friends! I realize I've been a bit of a slacker on the blog lately, so I thought I'd just post a little update about what's been going on in the Hatcher family as of late! As we are preparing to move (THIS SATURDAY!!!!! *Insert praise hands emoji!*), we have been tackling a lot of projects! Mainly painting. But before I get into that, I have to share this picture of Hank a couple of weeks ago at Chick-Fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day. :D 

I'm pretty sure he's the cutest baby cow I've ever seen! :)

If you remember in my last Friday Favorites post, I was trying to decide on a Feltman Brothers outfit for a contest I won. I finally decided on this blue and white smocked bobby suit, and it came in the mail this week! I was nervous he'd be in between sizes for Christmas, and I thought this outfit would be sweet for his birthday and versatile enough to wear for more than one occasion! I can't wait to see him in it!

                                               



So, we have been doing LOTS AND LOTS of painting for our new house! Furniture, walls, signs, you name it! Here are a few pieces I've been working on…..

Our new door sign! I ordered it unfinished from Etsy and painted it with my beloved Hobby Lobby chalk paint. 

I got this retro side table from an online yard sale page and painted it a light gray. I love how it turned out, and I think it's going to be great in our living room!

These mirrors are a project that turned out to be a LOT bigger than I thought! (I'll post a separate blog post about them later). They are vintage -- from my mother's bedroom suite as a child! My daddy and I re-stained the dresser and lingerie chest around 5 years ago, but these mirrors were left behind. I decided to tackle them for our new house. I'm loving how they turned out! (Will post more pics and info soon!)

Perhaps the biggest project of all was painting our living room! The former owners of our house chose some very vibrant colors for the walls… all which I can live with except for the crimson living room. I felt like it made the room a lot darker and smaller, and it definitely didn't match some of our turquoise decor! After a coat of primer and a coat of Sherwin Williams "Agreeable Gray," I am LOVING the way it looks now! The color we chose is a gray with brown undertones, so I think it's the perfect neutral! I'll have better pictures later, but here's a couple of the progress. 

That's all for now! Hope yall have a wonderful week! :)
