So much done . . .

I've gotten much done, a lot not done and a lot planned to do. I get in these spurts of "get stuff done" and become wide open. Then I get lazy and get nothing done. Well, plan on what I want to do. But here what I've gotten completed since last post. 



I decided to create a single location to charge my electronics. So I created a charging station. Since I wanted it for my bedroom. And to match my decor I went with pink chalk paint and distressed with dark brown wax. I think looks great.



I got an idea from Pinterest for a farmhouse towel holder. I'm going to put in my downstairs bathroom. I also thinking of making another for my upstairs bathroom. I got the handle from Hobby Lobby and cut a weathered pallet to be the base for the handle.


I saw something similar in a flea market in Verona and decided to give making it a try using colors that would match my bathroom. I took a soup can and painted it Oil Brushed Bronze. Then found pip berries in the right colors and stuffed in can. The ribbon matches the shower curtain I'm making for my bathroom.



Here's my patchwork shower curtain I'm working on. I hung it up to get an idea of what it'll look like. I don't have much left to get complete. Just got to get my butt in my sewing room and get done. 

I've got a white storage cabinet in my bathroom I'm starting to chalk paint and distress. I've primed it and started painting but the color isn't right. It's too dark green. I need to go to Michael's and get another color. I want to do in a sage green and dry brush distress using a cream color. I want to redo the toilet tank shelf and the two regular shelves too. Just not sure what color I want to do. 

I also stared making a veggie bin for my kitchen. I got quite a bit done but the top was warped and couldn't get another cut yet. Weather too cold. But here's what I've got done And what the finished project to look like.  I'm going to finish in either black or dark red and distress it. 


I also started redecorating my house. I bought new furniture for my house. I got a new bed and table with benches. I'm planning on getting two chairs door the end so I can seat eight. 




I'm also planning on getting a hutch for my kitchen to replace the baking rack, two chairs for end of my table, wo end tables and a wardrobe for my bedroom. I'm thinking of trying to make the end tables myself but get the chairs, wardrobe and hutch from Simple Tymes.  I have a dresser in my bedroom that I'm thinking of chalk painting. The two end tables I think I'm going to chalk paint a white and distress with a dark wax. I'm not sure what color I'm going to do the dresser.
