Quick update

Thank you for all the well wishes regarding my cat! Wussie-cat is home from surgery and we are all so grateful. She is currently wobbling around from her pain medication.  Drunk people=funny. Drunk pets=HILARIOUS!

Stay tune for tomorrow's post! Wednesday I am going to reveal my upstairs hallway makeover. It turned out rather well and I am very pleased with myself, hehe. Here's a sneaky peaky during the makeover.

Yeah right, like I was gonna ruin the surprise!

Thursday I am revealing my gossip bench make-over. And it involves this...

Yes--$2.00 something from Home Depot

2  completed house project posts  in  1 week. Whooboy-I am a mad woman. Someone better stop me...

I have several small projects in the works, using items I have  by re-purposing or updating.

Project 1 involves jute twine

Project 2 involves faux leather

Project 3 involves plexiglass

Are you intrigued?

Projects ahoy!

2012 is going to be interesting. Maybe that is a nice way of saying I have no bloody ideal on what I am doing. I am officially unemployed. Overwhelmed. Without direction. But with no job to get in the way I should be able to knock out a kazillion projects right? Haha, yeah that is what I thought.

I actually made a list and it is HUGE (the following is just a few items from my list)! Until I find gainful employment I will really need to watch my pennies. Lets hope my creativity and non-existent budget will be a match made in clearance aisle heaven.

1.  FINISH my upstairs bathroom remodel (seal grout, install crown molding, install baseboard, install shower/towel rods)

2. Stairwell project-Lose the elevator shaft vibe. Paint  and stencil the walls. Install my cool vignette--hehe I can't wait for this reveal! Refinish the stair treads. Paint and stencil the stair risers. Possibly add a surprise lighting feature.

3. Master bedroom redo. Carpet is in but the walls look like a world map due to epic fail paint job. (peeling paint)

4. Craft closet--is currently the closet of hoarding horrors. Paint, new light fixture, update flooring, and reconfigure storage options.

5. Dressing room -- Install flooring and baseboards. Update lighting.

6. Upstairs hallway--install new flooring

7. Dining room-yep new flooring, baseboards and paint touch up. Maybe some cool storage options.

8. Kitchen-total gut job

9. Downstairs bathroom-total gut job

10. Laundry room-total gut job

11. Potting shed

12. The great garage clean out

13. Rain barrel install

14. Fountain install

15. Dream project--a small greenhouse (preferably from reclaimed and re-purposed items)

16.  Raised garden beds

17. Paver walkway

18. Fence the yard

19. Paint the exterior of the house

20. New porch columns/ railings

21. Redo porch floor and steps

22. Basement (aka the dungeon) --clean out and new steps

So yeah, lots of things to do. Not to mentions I have dozens of small type projects (crafts etc) that range form refinishing furniture, rewire lamps, floral arrangements, making pillows, quilting etc...

Wish me luck because I am gonna need it!
