Here are a couple of projects that I worked on this week. The bathroom was painted a hunter green and just felt closed in because it is a small bathroom. Not to mention that it was not painted with bathroom paint and thats not a good idea with a small bathroom. I wanted a more of a terra cotta but it looked more like a creamsicle so my mom in love and I add some brown left over paint to it and came up with the color we like. This picture in the now new bathroom is an antique that has been in the hubby's family...it is one of my favorites. It says "Effort". (Bathroom humor) Anyhoo...loved the way it turned out. Thanks mom in love!

I have fell in love with chalkboard paint! I am a chalkboard painting fool! All those pictures that were getting ready to make the trip to the goodwill have now found a new life. I have made one for everyone's room. Even for Ryan at college. The only thing about this paint is that it is a little pricey (for me but I am cheap!)

Okay, on to my favorite project this week.....I have been buggin hubby to build me something to put in our bathroom for almost a year, then I had this idea. This little beaut was bought at a church sale over a year ago. It came as a set with the queen bed frame. At the time I didn't need the hutch but they were only asking $10 for both. This sat in various rooms being used for storage until this week. *I tried to take a before picture but there was no card in the camera..duh! Anyhoo....it was butt ugly yellow with little flowers stenciled on top and it had some little spindles on the shelves that I pulled off and filled in with nail filler and sanded. Almost three coats of white paint later and replaced the pulls that were already on there, I had my sumpin sumpin in the bathroom....(who needs a man?) The top of it had some water damaged so I found this antique lookin curtain that I placed on top.

The wheels are turning! Can't wait to get to the local thrift stop for some more trash to treasures.
