ty & ash: Paint, build, distress and paint some more

What a crazy Monday Ty and I had! We finally got started on operation redecorate this weekend (Monday was technically part of the weekend for us) and we decided to start painting and distressing our trunk/coffee table and tv stand. Ultimately, however, it was crazy insane-o windy outside, so we only finished the trunk. But it looks fab! We painted it ivory and distressed it. I even attempted to stain it with coffee blended into a little paint, but that was a total failure. Tyler also was working away on creating some sort of extra storage for us, and he ended up building this adorable little white crate with "coffee" stenciled on the side. I love it!

Once we got the chest inside, I was feeling pretty pumped so I also painted over the painting that was hanging in our living room (not one I did- I bought it at Marshall's...ssh) and now the colors are very bright and airy. All-in-all, not a bad start for operation redecorate!
