Summer Projects

If I want to get a few projects completed around here I believe that I am going to have to enlist the help of my boodling buddies. Hope you both are up for the job. I'm thinking that if I let you guys in on my to do list you will keep on me, no, encourage me to get some things done. I have compiled a list of some of the projects I want to work on so here goes. Some are big and some are not very big at all, they just require that I stop reading all these blogs and get going.

1. Fan

I have had an old fan for awhile now and I really just need to clean it up and find a home for it. I think that it will eventually end up in the family room but you never know.

2. Shutters

These shutters were picked up on our junk/trash day. They are not in bad shape so I

am just going to attack with a little soap and water. I am not even planning on painting them because I like the blue color even if it is peeling

off in places. I would like to hang them on the wall going down to the basement. We'll see if we can reach that spot with a ladder or not.

3. and 4. Master Bathroom

I have a couple of projects for the master bathroom. First, I want to replace the over-the-toilet cabinet with some shelves. This project,

ww.beneathmyheart.net/2009/08/cafe-shelf-tutorial-and-giveaway/, seems like it would be great to try, only with white shelves. Also, I want to paint the room and ceiling, probably the blue that I used in the bedroom. Small room so it shouldn't take long, right?

5. Hallie's Chair

My step-dad finished with the repairs needed

on this chair for Hallie's room now all that is needed is to paint and upholster. Of course, first I have to get it off the top of the camper!

6. Table for TV Room

This little table needs a little repair. The bottom shelf is broken so I plan on taking it out and patching up any damage I do. I will most likely spray paint Heirloom White and distress a little. It will go beside one of the red chairs in the family room.

I have a few more projects that I thought about adding but I have made myself tired typing up these just these six so I am going to stop for now. I am hoping that you will inquire frequently about my progress to keep my working hard.

What have you guys got planned for the summer months? Anything I can help with?

AAAHHH Sunshine!

Well, we have finally strung together two days in a row of sunshine. It is quite encouraging. I have been able to snap a few photos of the flowers that are blooming in my yard. Thought I might share them in order to spread a little sunshine in cyber-space. The Clematis I planted last summer has 3 blooms on it. I was pretty excited to know that it made it through the drought we had. Some of the other flowers in the garden are lookingquite sweet as well; Solomon Seal, Lily of the Valley, and Siberian Iris. Enjoy!
