Getting Things Done

I got several projects done, but no images to show for it! My wine crates are done! They look pretty good. Of course before I did them I searched the internet for a way to age them authentically, but couldn't find anything. So I decided on staining them with a gray stain and then walnut over top to warm it up. After I did that, I found this post http://showandtell-sausha.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-weather-new-wood.html. This process would have been much easier! I decided that I will do this with my pine farm table that is in need of a makeover. (That yellow finish is so tired!)

I drew a chickadee a few years ago and never framed it up. I had been looking for a square frame and mat with a circle in it. I found a square framed picture from Kirkland's on clearance and took it apart. Left the cardboard in it and cut a circle into it and covered with burlap. The glass did not fit! But it looks good without the glass. I just have to find a way to protect the drawing. Other than that - it is done!

After several weeks, our bedroom paint job is finally done! Now we are working on putting back all the stuff that was taken out of the room. Hubby put back the vanity in it's rightful place, but not the mirror. So while I was struggling with the mirror, I noticed the hinges were missing some screws. I decided to take it apart since I will be painting it soon. There was a rattling behind the bigger (middle) mirror, so I took part of the backing off. A bunch of wooden shims fell out. I also found the manufacturer stamp on the back of the mirror and the date - 1927! An antique! If it weren't for the chips and scratches on it, I would be hesitant to paint it!
