Working Through the List

Does everyone have a list like me. A list of all those things you would love to get around to do, but never seem to find the time to do them?

Last weekend Oskar went for a sleep over at Nana and Pa's and it has been a long time since I have had the chance to concentrate on my projects that have been patiently waiting for my attention.

Project One- Dining Chairs I have had 6 dining chairs sitting in the garage for over 2 years...to date I have completed only one! They started off looking like this. ...........and I restored one to this.

                                      

One down....five to go. Thanks to a friend's Dad, I managed to escape the labour intensive task of sanding and stripping the remaining 5 chairs from literally hundreds of staples as I knew I just couldn't find the time to do it and didn't really want to be doing all that sanding of lacquer being pregnant. Not the best idea.

So a couple of clear coats and some fabric is now all they need from me. So I got to it finally!. Upholstery session still to come.

 Meanwhile Cam attacked a garage clean up and started a little project of his own. It gets better...final product still to come!

Project Two-  I dont actually particularly like this unit, but I've had it for years and it was free and the budget is tight,  so I thought I would transform these drawers rather than buy some more for Ladybug's room. Sorry Oskar your toys will have to go into the toy box. now.

Project Three- A Teeny Tiny Table Revamped

Project Four- A Hat Rack- Repaired and sprayed from boring brown to Magenta.....for Ladybug's room.

Project 5- A Foot Stool given new life!

             

   
And don't worry Ladybug...everything was done with water based product and face masks and glasses so no nasty fumes were inhaled in the process.

I want to create a fun bright room for ladybug with punches of colours to welcome her into this colourful world.

I found this on Pintrest and started to collect paint swatches to do something similar on a much smaller scale. Stay tuned.

Thanks Liz Apple
