By the title, can you tell what I did today? I am the person that comes up with these great projects that i want to do and than I sit on them and I'm not sure what I'm waiting for but sometimes they can sit for months and probably years too. Finally I think I have so many of them built up that it's time to just say, "enough already, it's time to get some projects done".
Yesterday I found a green ugly chalkboard in front of someone's house that looked like it might be free. I knocked on the door (lightly cause it was 8am) and sure enough it was free so I thought "I'm gonna paint that and put it in my dining room, I need one for school". Two weeks ago I found a free corner cabinet that is of pretty good size. My friend who was with me at the time said "you could totally paint that and make it cute". Guess what, I got it and decided I was going to paint it.
So today I painted the chalkboard with black chalk paint and painted the border white and sanded the border down after painting it. It looks very shabby chic. I took the corner cabinet out today and painted it all white, doors and all. I also painted another cabinet that we have been working on for about a year. John designed it while I was pregnant with Sarah and it was supposed to be in her bedroom. It has sat for awhile waiting for me to, guess what, paint it.
Tomorrow more painting on Sarah's cabinet, put the hardware on the corner cabinet and a last coat on the chalkboard and I will have 3 new pieces of furniture. Very exciting! I will post pictures tomorrow.
