Day 25 Progress as Promised

My month of October was supposed to be blogging and doing all those unfinished projects that fill my work room. In my naivety about blogging I thought that would be the easy part but due to my nature I just keep plugging away at the projects until bedtime and the blogging doesn't happen. I am beginning to think November can be my blog beginning and October can be my trial run. I am getting so many little projects done. But the photos and the tutorials and the linking. That all takes so much time to learn. Kudos to all the real bloggers out there. As for me. This is what I finished this week.

 

PROJECT 1

BEFORE

AFTER RIGHT SIDE 

AFTER LEFT SIDE

 

Pretty simple use of left over boards to make shelves for the girls bathroom. I am planning to paint their cabinet during their bathroom remodel on my endless list of projects but for now this makes the space so much more functional. Total investment is time only and about and hour if you don't count cleaning the bathroom afterward. Teenage girls are pigs sometimes!

 

PROJECT 2-

BEFORE

AFTER

 

This is a sofa table we bought about 15 years ago. It has spent the last few years being hid by the sofa thank goodness but when we began Victoria's room redo I decided it would be a good desk. I sanded it lightly though there wasn't much of a finish anymore and primed with oil based kilz and painted it with Martha Stewart Living Precious Metals in Silver leaf. I had all the supplies to do this project from other projects including the new glass knob I had been saving for a special project.

 

I am constantly amazed how much of a project hoarder I am. Today I will hopefully finish Victoria's tufted headboard for tomorrows post. Who has all the stuff to make a custom tufted headboard? I am a nut. Progress as promised.
