Inspired

Two posts in one week... this is a new record for me :)

So my bible study leader, Anna, is AMAZING.. I'm telling you this girl can do so many absolutely creative things PLUS she has an awesome heart for God!! She has 2 blogs, Miller Time and Your Trash, My Treasure (a personal favorite where she is making it her new years resolution to only buy second hand clothes/ home goods from thrift stores and good will type stores- check it out she has some really cute clothes!!)

ANYWAYS.... so yes she is such an inspiration to me on so many levels and lately I've been in a "nesting mood" as my mom would call it... I'm getting my first apartment in May and want to decorate it really cute (it will give me some practice for when Scott and I have a place together :) hehe) and I've been looking online at places like Target and Ikea (a.k.a. furniture Heaven) as well as online at craigs list. Another inspiring thing about lil miss Anna is that almost all of her furniture in her house is off of craigs list!! AND it's not ugly!!! I seriously don't know where she is finding all of these super amazing deals at because everything I find is scary.... BUT I believe I have struck a creative gold mine that she has and I seem to lack when it comes to craigs list... for example look at this wing back chair (it is a part of a duo for $75 total) the other one is in a little worse condition but still not terrible...

I just think this is the cutest chair every... haha am I crazy? (probably) anyways if I were crafty like Anna and could make slipcovers/ know how the reupholster furniture this would be such a cool chair to do... I got online to look up some images of wing backs and here is some of the stuff I like...

Bright green print I think gives a traditional style chair that can be "stuffy" sometimes more fun and flare!

I love the simplicity of this with the black piping around the edges of the chair!

Wingback chairs as the head of the dining table?! White nonetheless!? Really creative.. but I would be scared they'd get super dirty in a kitchen!

So yes hopefully this summer when I stay in Norman I can get some tips from Anna and maybe one day I'll have the luck she does when it comes to furniture, clothes, and being awesome :)

Until next time,
