A Shabby Chic Baby Shower

If someone asked me to pick my favorite party theme 9 times out of 10 it would easily be something shabby chic. I’m not sure if it’s the mason jars, twine, baby’s breath or the fact that I grew up living in the country that sways my decision…but I absolutely love it!

Earlier this month we threw a shabby chic baby shower for my best friend who is having a little girl in August. There’s just something about pink and burlap that goes so well together…but I’ll let you be the judge of that 😉

Garage Sale Find Turned Chic Accent Table

This past weekend we held our annual garage sale at the Purple Palace. Our sale items generally consist of clothes, shoes, random pieces that I finally decide to part with {yes, I tend to be a hoarder with some things} and a few odds and ends my family wants to contribute and sell.

I was thrilled when my aunt brought over an accent table that simply needed a little extra TLC. This item {and a few others} didn’t last long at the garage sale, as I happily carted it in to add to my hoarder’s  stash.

And so begins the makeover for the garage sale accent table!
