I Got The Itch

Typing that title I just want to swing my head and scream out like Kix "I got The Itch...I got it. I got The Itch, I got it!"

Returning to 2011, I am sharing some of the things that I want to make for my home. If I don't document them here, I won't be accountable to do them, right?


Sunburst Mirror

I just gots to have me one of these things.! I saw this one and fell in love with it. But I did not fall in love with the price - $265! Hubby has a box full of molding and trim scraps, so I am going to get out the sander and rough up the painted ones and maybe weather some too. Then I will cut them up in a similar shape. I can't wait until I have the opportunity to do it!
Here's a close up. See me in there?

I also want to do a huge clock in my foyer above the door. I have been looking and I found the perfect one!
I found this is in Ballard Designs catalog LOVE IT! It is the Roulette Clock. The bad news is that it is no longer for sale. Well, now it's a good thing that I am resourceful and adventurous when it comes to making things! So I'm going to try my hand at making one for myself. The only issue I see is getting a hold of those thingys that divide it up into sections. I may have to get creative with the paint brush and do fake-out ones.
