Makeovers~ Oooh La La!

Let me guess, you are thinking of a facial makeover, right?  Not exactly what I was referring to.  I have some AWESOME friends in my life.  Some give me attitude makeovers, some give me emotional makeovers, and some give my house a makeover.  :)  These 2 friends give me all three!

       
I had surgery 2 weeks ago, and my friends came over to bring me some GORGEOUS flowers!
  
 


While we were talking, I made mention of how boring my formal dining room was.  I asked them if they had any ideas, and could help me bring the room to life.  I knew they had a decorator's touch, but I never imagined what would happen in the next few days!

I got a few texts from them asking what my "style" was, and I told them my only real "style" was a design on a dime.  They sent me a picture of a light fixture and told me a few of their ideas.  I told them I was not picky and completely trusted their judgement.

I got another text from them Sunday night asking if they could drop by.  I said of course, but we should go out to eat first.  So, off to Longhorn Steakhouse we went.  I had not idea the contents of Chevy Traverse the they were driving.

We ate and came back to the house.  It was then that Jake and I discovered that their car was FULL of things for our DINING ROOM MAKEOVER!!!
You will not believe your eyes!

This is what they had to work with...pretty boring!



Good LAWD, look at the DUST!!!


So, we began to bring everything in.  I am beyond excited to see what they have.  We brought in heavy boxes, candles, a flower, mirror, and much more!!!

So, they begin working!!!  Their first mission was to CHANGE THE LIGHT FIXTURE!!!


From this... TO this...

They were great electricians, if I must say so myself!



Once the new light was hung, they got to work on the buffet.  It was in TONS of pieces, but rest assured it looked great in the end.




After a lot of HARD WORK things began to come together and look WONDERFUL!!!
 
a few finishing touches...

and the REVEAL...

aren't these neat???



The finished buffet...



and it's DONE!!!
(well, they say they have  few things to add, but it looks GREAT!)


So, who exactly are the faces behind this beautiful MAKEOVER???
Let me introduce to you my freinds Bobby and Chris.  They are such special people in mine and Jake's life.  I have know Chris forever and we met Bobby at LJES. 

Bobby is the music teacher at Lake Joy Elementary (where I teach), and Chris works at State Bank in Pinehurst.  Although these are their full time jobs, you can see that they are very talented outside of their everyday jobs.


 

I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to have such wonderful friends. 
THANK YOU SO MUCH BOBBY AND CHRIS!!! 


So...if you need help giving a room in your home a MAKEOVER, they would love to help.  They can work on any budget, and as you can see, they do a FANTASTIC job.

I hope you have enjoyed my "makeover"

Until next time....LET'S EAT!!!
