To Do


It isn't enough for me to work full time, care for 2 kids, a hubby and 2 dogs, have church and Cub Scout roles, and not to mention house chores (Because you KNOW my house is SPOTLESS! cough cough). There's also my drawing projects, my sewing projects, and my jewelry making projects. No, I just have to add to that mountain of things to do! I am now gearing up to restore and refinish some pieces for my bedroom. I have this vanity that I got from my sister-in-law. I adored it when it sat in her town home foyer, then it was in her daughter's room for awhile and now it holds my jewelry and scarves!

The vanity is a bit worse for wear. The mirror as aged somewhat and the finish is worn and ratty in several places. There is even one corner where the veneer has peeled off. I am thinking that I want to fix it up and paint it a light turquoise, a little brighter than my bedroom wall and antique the finish a bit. I am really anxious to do this, but when I bring it up with the hubby, he says, "Wait! You have too many unfinished projects!" He's right, but when I am driven to do something, I just can't fight the urge!

Future posts on this project to come...
