Projects

When I finished the Fall semester in December, I made a list of projects I wanted to accomplish during my break. The following are some little sumthins I've been up to:

First, I needed my bedroom set redone desperately!!! Here are some BEFORE pictures:

Here are the AFTER pictures:

My friend Jessica Slade refinished all of my bedroom set and did an amazingly beautiful job. I am so happy with how it all turned out. You can check out her stuff at http://fadedtofab.blogspot.com/. She's amazing.

Then, on to my next project which Jessica Slade worked her wonders again! I wanted my kitchen cabinets refinished as well. Here is a BEFORE picture you can see in the background:

And here are the AFTER pictures: Made such a difference!!!

Another project was to finally fill my apothecary jars with something. I got this picture off of pinterest:

I wasn't a fan of the words on the jars but I liked the look of what they had in them and they are three things that my family loves and we will actually use and refill them with. Here is how mine turned out:

I also replaced the net and pad on my trampoline. I don't have a before picture but just picture a trampoline with a net and pad that were torn to shreds. Here is the completed project:

I also redid all of my flower planters which took me a total of two FULL days!!! It took forever and my back can prove it. I swear it still hasn't recovered. Here is a picture of the dead flowers that were in there before:

Now here are the finished planters:







And don't forget the one on the other side of my driveway:

Some other projects included replacing my old wood stools with new rod iron ones, replacing some family pictures around the house, refinishing my shelves (which Jessica Slade did for me), and reading every book I've been wanting to read for the past six months. It has been a great break from school. I start up again on the 30th, but first, Danjee and I are going on a cruise with all of my married siblings and some of my cousins. I am too excited for words.

Upcoming projectthat is currently in the works: (To redo this wall in my house)

To look like this:

Can't wait!
