Recent Projects

A few things that have been keeping me busy lately:

Thrift store chair, recovered with fabric I had and some bright key lime paint

Old dresser that I've had in my garage for years waiting for me to realize it's true calling (used in dining room for extra fruit/vegetable storage

Headboard turned into swing (everybody's seen the benches, so I had to do something different) - leftover key lime color was too hard to resist!

Repurposed an old bookshelf for Barbie organization 

My favorite label on one of the bins - courtesy of my helper on the project, Janelle, who couldn't see the point of getting rid of perfectly good partial Barbies and loose body parts...



...which tend to turn into things like this:

A handy dandy Barbie-head mop!

and then there's Brooke's, also true to form :)
