Piles of Projects

Time to get back to work! 

Check out the piles of projects I've started . . .

The white shelf with the scalloped edge 

and the chalkboard 

are headed for my scrapbook/guest room. 

They already have a new coat of paint 

but are waiting for a few finishing touches. 

And I am in love with the aqua frame! 

A coat of glossy white paint 

was hiding this beautiful color, 

so after sanding it down 

I decided to keep it "as is." 

The bench peeking over the watering can of flowers 

has a new stained top, 

but I can't decide on a color for the bottom. 

Green? White? A chalky blue?  

The gate, bench, and watering can 

will stay on the front porch. 

More on all of these projects later!

After a short stop at my mom's house yesterday, 

I came home with these beauties!

ANOTHER metal chair!

And this one rocks,

literally! 

I'm still waiting for it to tell me

what color it would like to be.

The wash tub

is destined for the back porch.

A few rocks and my new solar fountain pump

is all it will need.

And the door leaning so effortlessly on that chair?

Check out the other side:

Aqua!

This picture does not do the color justice,

but it's a beautiful aqua!

And look at this hardware:

My mom has some fabulous treasures on her farm!

She's promised me a knob

from her "box of doorknobs."

Do I need to explain where my love for junk comes from? :)

And finally, this chair 

has been hiding in the rafters 

of the garage. 

Here's a before shot, dust and all.

So many fabulous bloggers have inspired me 

to tackle these projects. 

Stay tuned for the "after" shots.

Can't wait to share!
