House Projects

Every year I am ready to try a new project.  This spring it was redoing a chair that I had purchased really cheap from a friend who was planning on recovering it but never got around to it.  The style is called a channel back chair and I had no idea how hard it was going to be for me to put back together until I took it apart.  I took lots of pictures and eventually was able to finish the project.  Lets just say that I do not have any more chair re-do's in my near future.

Brenna's Room

The next redo this past spring was Brenna's room.  She was about to turn 4 and was out of her crib so her room was transformed from the baby bedding that all three kids used to the first girl room in our house.  I had originally painted her rooms pink but I was not thrilled with pink walls and her blue bed so I decided to do a blue on blue combo.  I made the duvet cover and window treatment but purchased the wall art on Etsy and love it.

The Front Door

I am not afraid to grab a can of paint and a brush and change things every once in awhile...deciding on furniture .. now that is another story but paint - so easy to change.

The front door started out originally black..

Then this fall it changed to red...

Then this spring the yellow appeared...

And now we are back to black...

Any thoughts on this one??? 

I don't think neighbors were so in love with the yellow...it may have 

been just the wrong color ..who knows what I will try next.  

Front Hall Door

The day I changed the front door back to black I just kept going and painted the inside as well.  I think it makes the front hall feel a bit more grounded.
