Pardon that lame Sixth Sense reference, but in all honesty I have a few unfinished projects around the house that I'm hoping by sharing with you here, it will hold me accountable and I will actually finish them.
The first is reupholstering our dining room chairs. I upholstered them over a year ago (in fact it was my first blog post) and while I really liked the pattern, I bought a rug for the space a while back that just doesn't work with the fabric. The rug was fifty percent off at Target, and since it was a percentage off that I rarely see at my local Target and a great price for a rug (34.99), I snapped it up! The fabric (a bold blue and white patterned print pictured above) is sitting in my basement waiting to be stapled onto the chairs.
The second is repainting and reupholstering this little stool I bought at Goodwill this fall. I had always planned to paint or dress it up somehow but never really got around to it. So while I had the paint and sandpaper out for another project, I decided to paint the legs dark blue using some of the paint left over from painting my dresser this summer. Now I want to stencil our initial "R" onto the woven basket and reupholster the top, perhaps with some of the fabric left over from the dining room chairs!
The third project is reorganizing our hutch in the dining room. Right now it is crammed full of things and the display is not very pleasing to the eye. I am hoping to spend an afternoon (or morning or evening) taking everything out out of it and reassigning some of it to the living room and some of it to our closet so that we can properly display what lovelies we do have.
The fourth is to finish spray painting two owls I bought during various thrift store trips white. So far I have spray painted them with a primer coat and need to finish the job with a top coat. You can see the owl cookie jar here and the owl statue here.
The final project involves repainting and re-purposing the wine flight set I bought at a local thrift store a few months ago. My plan is to turn it into a lovely flower vase set. So far, I have filled the hole in the tray where the menu would have sat, sanded the piece and painted the base of it white. All that's left is to prime and paint the insets where the wine pitchers turned flower vases will go blue for a little color!
Please tell me you are like me and have unfinished projects laying around!
