CLH in Review

Wow another year has gone by so its time to do a little reflecting at Chic Little House. And look back at a few of our favorite completed projects and few that have yet to get done! Plus its a great way to let 'new readers' look at past projects!


We gave our seen better days wood front door a face lift with bright red cheery paint. Our red front door pops off our grey house and looks good with the white trim and black shutters.

I love to find bargains whether it be on clearance, shopping thrift stores or stalking Craigslist. So I was really happy when I found an amazing dresser with dovetail drawers all wood for only $ 45 bucks!! I transformed a dark and date looking dresser for our bedroom with paint and new hardware!

After ( I loved this makeover so much it deserved two pics!)




In April I found a blah tray via a thrift store for a few bucks and with the help of some paint and remnant fabric leftover from making pillows the tray was transformed. I love how the yellow tray pops in our living room.

In 2010 three rooms in our house got new lighting: Dining room, Sons Bedroom and Master Bedroom. To this day every time I turn our bedroom light on, I fall in love all over again. Before we had a basic builder light in our room, we took the light down and replaced it with a pretty modern romantic chandelier drum shade.
