So I have a little collection of things that I have been working on recently-and a few projects that I have been gathering ideas for. One of them involves eating a LOT of baked beans. :)
Anyway, I thought I would share a few of them with you all-and then I have to hop back to it. I have things that I am working on for friends-and I am so, so behind on that!!!
A refinished chair! I love it now! It used to be a mahogany finish with blue "leather" cushions. I pulled all those off, recovered them in this fun chevron print, and painted the chair white. Then I attached all the cushions again and distressed the wood a teeeeeeny bit. LOVE.
Then I did a couple tiny pieces. I'm doing some experimenting with watercolor and ink.... working on a children's book in real life and I think I like this style for illustrating it....
Bunnies. :)
And then I ordered this tub a bit ago, from Ebay, to refinish and eventually use in my modernized Beacon Hill. I want it to look like one of the refurbished Victorians that you see on HGTV, using all the old parts, but with modern finishes.
The plan is to turn this brass tub into a more of a cast iron with ceramic interior look. :) Very excited, I am.
And that's all I have for right now. Currently, the debate is on which kit to open....or if I should get started on my Creatin' Contest kit already...... decisions, decisions......
And in case you didn't hear, I'm doing a 4 year blogging giveaway! See the details, here:
