retro wonderfullness

Tyler and I decided to go ahead a paint the glider. We couldn't resist. And it took us all of 2 hours to do. Love easy projects.

The before...

And the after...

I think it turned out pretty well for free (and four cans of spray paint). It's hard for me not to just go and sell it but I think I'll keep it for now. It's got too much character. 

my husband is the craigslist king!!

So having internet on our phones has made Tyler the Craigslist king and I love it! He's snagged some really good deals including our hutch for free, the wicker for $25 and most recently an antique glider for FREE! I've been looking for a glider like this forever but the antique ones in good shape are hard to come by and people know what they're worth, around $250 to like $1500 on ebay, so not willing to pay that. So when he saw this baby yesterday he went for it!

This thing is in great condition. He even had someone yell at him as he was driving away with it strapped to the top of our SUV, they were mad because they thought if they called for the address they got the piece. Little did they know that it was first come first serve and we lived just down the street. The man had driven from Olathe, his loss, our gain. There is also a chair that we get with it that I plan on selling if anyone is interested! I'm going to paint it if anyone has suggestions on a color?
