I finally finished the curtains for Billie's nursery and found some sheets. The only thing we have left to do in the nursery is fill her frames with photos!
I was able to work on a few projects this weekend as well:
- I finally finished the beer/wine label covered TV trays which have been sitting around unfinished for months. I bought the TV trays at Goodwill and have been salvaging beer bottle labels which I modge podged to the top of each tray. Now I just need to paint the base and add a protective coat to the surface!
- I added some contact paper to our laundry room shelf in an attempt to get the laundry area a bit more organized. We have a LOT to do in this "room" but that will come after the office, I suppose.
- I started painting the floral settee! Yes, I am painting fabric with Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. Right now it looks terrible because I'm trying to paint off-white over a dark print, but I'm hoping it will look nice after a few coats. I had originally planned to reupholster the piece, but thought I'd give this a shot first since it would be much more cost effective and hopefully easier.
- Matt added a handrail to the staircase, which I just need to paint. Hopefully, my dad finds it helpful when they come to visit next month to help with the baby.
- Matt also added some trim to our IKEA shelves in the mudroom to give it a more finished look!
- And we scheduled some one from Home Depot to come out and take measurements for our office blinds - it's time to cover that nastiness! I'm just going to have them replicate the blinds that we installed in the media room.
Next on the list:
- Order frames for Billie's room
- Paint hand rails
- Finish painting the settee
- Finish the TV trays
- Sell some completed furniture (red end table, black chairs, white chest of drawers)
