what i've been up to

Painted this side table black. It was stained a nice brown but had a lot of water rings and scuff marks on top. Now it looks brand new!
My big project is to "redo" our master bath. This included painting the vanity white, painting the walls and wainscoting, and giving everything a GOOD cleaning. We were also going to tile the floor with the leftover tile from Mark & Diane's bathrooms. Unfortunately we were just a few tiles short so the linoleum remains for now.
Here's some before pictures.

And here's the after. The walls before were a yellowish color and now they're khaki.
Yesterday I slip covered matt's work chair. The seat cushion had come off so I fixed it and recovered the seat and the back. It used to be an "office" blue color as seen in the next picture.

I really DO NOT like doing upholstery work! I am reaffirmed on this feeling after only a 2 hour project.
Today during boys' nap time I made Peach freezer jam! Enough said!
And now for my best project of all- get Eli up from his nap and be his mommy!!

  3. wow! The bathroom looks GREAT! That STINKS that you can't use the tile. So sorry. Your projects are awesome. I wish I could get that much done at one time as you have.
