THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE WAY {I PROMISE}

I have been spending so much time looking at my clutter of a mess master closet, promising myself "Tomorrow...tomorrow is the day to gain control!"

Many tomorrows have come and gone!

*Tear*

I am determined, however, NOT to give up! Us southern girls are some fighters, y'all!

:()
And then...

....there is the patio!

It's been an ongoing project for 1---2---3 summers now?!...I did manage to redo a coffee table-Here!

 That baby was a hit with my readers and well, ME! I love it...but for the longest time, the re-do stopped there. One day, there's a lack of funds...the next time, it's lack of ability, then sometimes a lack of time and/or energy.  All in all, this past weekend, the poor patio did see some small improvement--Thanks to my brother-in-law!

It still needs to be "styled" but that's on the way soon!

I wasted a WHOLE gallon of paint on half that wall, like right up to the right of the window, because it is a very rough stucco and it STOLE my paint! THIEF!

So I traded services with the in-laws---looks like I'll be giving some decorative advise on their newly built home (coming soon) in exchange for a painted wall via PAINT SPRAYER!

Anyway, he sprayed the wall, and this old Pier One Hutch (Oh how I LOVE the pale robin's egg  blue color) that will act as a "divider" blocking the ugly window unit and punching bag...well at least until you walk a few steps out onto the porch and the ugly is revealed!

On another note..

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THAT THING IS ON THE SHELF?

IT'S A TURTLE SHELL FOR MY SON..Can someone PAH-LEEZE tell me how to make THAT look decorative!?

ALSO...

I need advise...

Yes...

From YOU!...

What are some ways that I can use this Hutch for outdoors without actually putting a TV in it?

I've thought of shelves, etc...but I was hoping for something more...

IMAGINATIVE:)

IDEAS ANYONE??????

I will post an after when its actually all put together! I am praying that a nice little beach getaway will recharge my home renovation battery so that things can start getting accomplished!!!!!

I HEART YOU,
