Finally....

It's taken about three yearS to get around the my project of painting our front door. I had to get permission from our HOA, which was my excuse of why it was taking so long, but really I just wasn't motivated enough to get around to it! Finally sent in the papers and got the go ahead to do the door. What a difference a coat of paint can't make.... I feel like I have a new house haha.... It was easy and quick. Sanded the door down first to remove all the lumps and bumps from tape and other seasonal stuff that had been on the door. I gave it a couple of coats because I love when the paint is thick and covers everything.  I was finally able to hang a cute wreath up!  It changed the way our house looks from the street - I love it!

Garage Sale find

Oh, how happy I feel when I finally get around to a project that has been long overdue. I bought this shelf, bookcase thing-a-ma-jig at a sale for $10 - woohooo.....I saw it had potential even though the corner was beaten up. And....it sat in my pile of projects in the garage for months! I finally got motivated to organize our bathroom. So I hauled it out, sanded it down a little, fixed the beaten corner with wood filler, patiently waited (overnight...ugh I hate waiting...) and painted it.  Of course I distressed it, because I pretty much distress everything!  I love how it turned out and it got me motivated to repaint the cabinet door I had outside and turned it into a jewelery rack.  I found some "HIS" & "HERS" hooks at Rod Works that were perfect.  I still need to organize some other parts of the bathroom, like my hair and makeup junk but this is a great start!
