Back to School

 I don't really have anything for back to school till I saw this apple. I had planned on making these wood stands but putting something Christmas on them but I think I will have something for all the holidays , since I can easily change it out. 2x2 wood with square base that I had from Michael's , some finials from Home Depot and some coat hooks. Mine are not quite as tall as I would like but I already had the wood so I used what I had. I would have liked the 2x2 in two 12 inch and a 14 inch .I got the idea here. Love Pinterest

Monogram


I dont know why everytime I buy Krylon spray paint  I end up with a can that spits instead of spray. I think this one time it will be ok . Till I buy another can of another brand .

Dresser Redo




So glad to have this finished. We picked it up at a yard sale and I sanded ,painted and filled it up. Still not sure how to decorate it I think I need a lamp. I also painted the bedroom so the transformation is in progress. From green to grey.

Before and After

 When we firs moved into the house we had vertical blinds every where. Slowly they have made there way out , just two left. I love the front window but it gets very bright during the day, no direct sun but a ton of light . The curtains are perfect , a woven fabric from IKEA. It still lets a little light in but add privacy for the evenings .
 We bought two wooden dowels the unfinished brackets and some finials , I sprayed everything black.


Thanks to my helper , he gets the credit for the hanging , I handed him the tools and screws. Now I need to fill the old holes in the wall and paint ....that's another day.

Weekend projects

 My $35 yard sale find. Cant wait to get this done and filled up.

 cake stands I started , Iam going to do a bigger base and router the top edge ,which means I need more wood .I used a thin plywood and started putting trim around it but , we aren't good at the mitered corners and it was just not going well. I am making 10 for a Relief Society dinner . If I was just making 2 the trim would have been fine . Just something that I need to get better at .
This is the hardware for my new front window curtains, can wait to get this up . I have so many project going right now I cant get anything done . Relief Society is next week and I have so much to get ready.
