I am so sorry, y'all. We have been so wrapped up in this whirlwind MOVE. Yes, the family is in the process of moving to a new place. We are gaining roughly 600 sf. My craft room is an actual room instead of a corner of the master bedroom (though it is still technically *in* the master bedroom's sitting room).
Because of all the new spaces we have, I am embarking on several furniture projects. I'm very excited that I *finally* get to do all those awesome Pinterest projects I've been drooling over.
Here is a list of what I'm hoping to tackle in the next few days (weeks? months?):
Playroom:
Play kitchen out of various vintage pieces of furniture for the Littles. This will be complete with aprons, mini-hot mitts and possibly towels, place mats, etc. This is their birthday (possibly Christmas) present.
Snack table. For them to eat snacks and pretend to set the table or pretend to eat their play food.
Chalkboard table. I was going to do the whole convert-a-crib-into-an-art-table Pinterest project, but decided that would be too bulky. Instead, I traded a couple of pieces of furniture that I'm not using for an adorable child-size table and chairs. It's 100% wood, so I can play with paint and not ruin it!!!
Decor: The Littles discovered their old monkey decor during the move. They then demanded to have monkeys back in their bedroom. I don't have any monkey blankets for their beds and spent a TON of time and effort getting their room all Sesame Street Chic. So, my compromise is monkeys in the playroom, Sesame Street in their bedroom.
Dining room:
Three chairs into a bench. My mom found the chairs. So, I need to clean them, prime them, paint them, then my dad will connect them into a bench. After that, Mom and I will upholster it. :)
Master Bedroom/Sitting area/Craft Space:
I need to paint that sewing cabinet. No idea what color...but absolutely not red.
Pick up a FREE vanity. Cut it apart. Sand it down. Paint it. Turn it into two nightstands.
Finish the "charger caddy" that I started about a dozen years ago (actually only about a year ago). Actually, I may just photo that one and call it done. :)
Back yard:
Compost Bin. Any ideas???
When I list it like that, it seems like not a lot. However, I think it might be quite a bit. :) Oh well, it will keep me from spending a ton of money on fabric. Right? Maybe?
