Projects pending.....

Besides my total house makeover that has cost me nothing except time, here are a couple of biggies that I have going.  I don't know where I got all this ambition and inspiration.  Must have been Blogger.  And God.  Of course, He is my strength and helps me with everything.  Let's not be leaving God out.  You see, I'm getting my house ready to list.  FOR SALE.  A little sprucing up after a winter of loafing and staying in was in order.  So, first off I just started a slipcover for this ugly chair.  It's sturdy though.  And the fabric I had gotten some months back for a mere $5 per yard will just set my living room off nicely.  It needs it.  It's a daunting task.  I did it once before and if I remember correctly, I had to drag myself through the whole project.  So I was thinking the second time around is sort of like having a baby.  While you go into it all with your eyes on the end result-the second time-you know what you're in for!  But, I found a dear blogger who gave a great tutorial on how to go about this a little easier.  I'll find her again and put in a little brag link for her.  For now I'll just show you the chair. Found it at the Salvation Army for under $7.

 Another "biggie" I'm almost done with is this dresser.  I just need to put new knobs on which I still have to pick out.  That will be the first money I've spent on my total home makeover.  I've shopped the house like crazy to find "new" things to repurpose/redo.  I love the dresser and can't wait to get the knobs picked out and show you.  It really makes my room.

My mom nabbed this from a friend and refinished it for me.  That was over 15 years ago.  It's time for a new look don't you think?  One hint, it will be a painted/distressed finish.  That's all I'm gonna say!  Oh, and I'm a little tired.  Been staying up late quite a bit to keep this makeover train moving.
