FIRST:
Leave it to my savy Uncle Roger to have an eye for design. He recently moved into a new place 2 months ago. Well... he found an old kinda beat up chandelier in his garage. Brings it over, spray paints it, and what do you know, it goes just perfect in my mom's dining. It gives the area an absolutely lovely unique charm. Love!!! ❤
Bad lighting here, but you get the idea. ;)

Let me introduce you to this gorgeous heater from the 1900's that has never worked and been a total eye sore. For months we have tried to take it down. With wiring problems etc, it just wasn't happening. My mom eventually surrendered and hung a sheet over it. It is ugly and my mom despises it. Plus we live in Texas. Who needs a heater anyways? ;)
AFTER:
So...once again...leave it to my Uncle. We happened to have these 2 cheap Ross decor pieces that fit exactly PERFECT over the ugly heater. What an awesome WIN!! ❤
A final pic of todays blood sweat and tears!
Let me tell you, this project may have been one of the hardest, most physically (and mentally) challenges I have probably ever faced, but the outcome is SO rewarding. We also worked A LOT on my mom's bedroom and bath. Boy was that ever so fun. <insert sarcasm> Those post pics will be coming soon. I pray....
I will also add a HUGE bit of info that we are very proud of. Besides the chandelier find & hand me down paint, NOTHING else was new, purchased or borrowed. Nothing. Everything was already my mom's, we just tweaked and arranged it all with a creative twist.
I will conclude with a sappy moment. Lol. I may not be able to walk tomorrow but it's ALL worth it to make my mom happy. Take a moment to look outside yourself and help someone else. It's the most rewarding feeling of all. LOVE WINS ❤ I am extremely blessed and grateful God gave me her! I love you Mom! XOXO
