I found this great dresser at an estate sale last week for a mere $26, and I managed to redo it within about 4 hours. I got this for my guest room, which currently has a whitewashed bed, a plain endtable, and a few decorations, but no dresser. After a little sanding, 3 coats of whitewash, and some spray painting of the knobs, I came out with this. Check the B and A’s!
I finally planted the flowers around my trees today. Some nice moss roses in orange and delphiniums (sp?) that will come in white and blue (GO BEARS!). They will spread about 12-24″ so everything will be filled in. Both trees look the same. I also am almost done the cabinets below the sink and will post when I get the doors back on.
Joey helped put a new light up in the kitchen (rather, I assisted him). If you go to old posts you can see the old light; it was just glass and chrome. This new one goes great with our decor and really makes it cozy.
(Do you like my new bamboo!)
I’m giving some old lights and other items to my friend Diana, who’s neighborhood is having a yard sale this weekend, so I hope to make a little and buy a new light in my den (especially since I took ours down to sell). Our new furniture arrives Monday and that room will be more complete with our buffet and the new couch will be amazing!
You know me-always doing projects and giving myself goals-just thought I would share them this time!
1) Try to sleep in after working Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday night until 3am.
2) Lay at least 50 squares of sod in the backyard before it rains sunday, monday, and maybe tuesday.
3) Sand the last 4 cabinet doors and bases in the kitchen so I can stain them next week. (Then all that is left is to get our countertops refinished and our kitchen is finished!)
Future goals once those are done (for the house)
-Put gutters where there are none
-Get countertops refinished (possibly ones in the bathroom as well)
-New faucets in bathroom
-Redo cabinets in the bathrooms to match the kitchen
-Plant flowers around the trees in the front yard
-Transplant palm from backyard to front and make decorative landscape near the end of the driveway
Phew-I’m sure I will find more things to do once these are done, or perhaps even while these are going on. What projects are you working on?
