Well, we started rearranging our apt this weekend, and after 3 or 4 different attempts finally found a new arrangement we both like. I refinished a bookshelf and turned it into a DVD shelf. I spray painted it Cream and added contact paper to the shelves to make them easier to clean. It turned out better looking than I thought it would, so I'm excited. We found a dining room table on Craigslist for $35! It's solid pine, is 42" around, and has a leaf to extend for when we have company. Rob is going to sand the top down, then I'll paint the lower portion to match our cream colored bar stools. Yah for new projects! We'll actually have a kitchen table to sit at and eat!!!! We haven't had one ... ever! Makes you feel kind of grownup. Next weekend's project: The guest room! Duhn, duhn, duhn!

First thoughts ...

So after reading a friends blog and then perusing several online I've decided to start one of my own. Not really sure what to put up here. But I thought it would be a good way to keep our far spread family in touch with our lives. My Husband and I are project people. We love DIY, scavenging for that perfect item, and making something out of nothing. My husband has had a hard time finding work, of late; and as a result has been building up a storm. He's pretty handy, and likes to reuse items instead of new ones. I love to paint, even though I haven't had much time for it recently. Hopefully, I will be able to put up some photos of some of our recent projects this weekend. Thanks for checking out my thoughts, and Stay tuned ......
