"Blue" Print

I have BIG (in fact maybe too big) plans for my bedroom makeover. The main feature and biggest cost being a built in wall/headboard. My little brother works at Lowe's in the custom cabinetry department. He's like a mad scientist when it comes to measurements and stuff so I sent him this:


Good luck figuring it out Bro! I am so excited to start saving my pennies to build something like this!

In other news I am actually working on stuff, just so much at the same time that it's taking a bit to actually get anything actually done. So, a few more fluffy posts like this and then hopefully I will have several juicy posts full of my curbside pickup dresser turned sofa table, my rags to rug, and everything else I'm backed up on. 

I also want to thank you all for reading and commenting. I am not the kind of person who really finishes if you know what I mean and you all have given me a great reason to not only finish but to take it all the way to staging! I am so excited to hear everything you say. It fuels me and drives me to do better. 
Thank you all :)

Another Find

Boy, I'm telling you that I am finding stuff faster than I can work on it. I need to go on a finding strike and work on a refinishing stretch!!!  But really? Could you pass this up for free?



It is laminate but no one will be able to tell by the time I'm done with it!  It is going to look A-mazing with a coat of paint!

Peek

I know I am always giving you guys peeks of things and I swear I am working on all of them. This project in particular I have been working on for over a year now, since before I started blogging! I don't have any "before" pictures but you may have seen it making peeks at you in a few other posts. Today I distressed part of it and then laid on the glaze. 


I have loved this hardware from day one. I found this baby on craigslist for $75 and you couldn't talk me into selling it!  I still have some painting to do but even in it's unfinished state it puts the rest of my living room to shame. There are large parts of it that still only have primer on it and still people remark to me on how beautiful a piece it is.
