I am preparing myself for my HUGE project that lies ahead! I am slowly trying to get things ready for Logan's house so that when we get married...and I finally get to move in....I won't be so overwhelmed. Moving and settling takes enough time by itself....so I thought if I work on my list of house to do's gradually ...maybe...just maybe... most of it will be finished by August 6th!
My biggest task it to distress and paint numerous pieces of furniture. I have 2 coffee tables, a bed, a dresser, kitchen tables and chairs, a side table and a china cabinet...all need paint and a few of them will be distressed. It makes me tired just thinking about it. But I know how happy I will be to see them finished...they all have so much potential...and with a little paint, sandpaper and hammering.....they will become the pieces that make up our home! I have started fabric shopping......and I could spend all day wandering around the fabric store....I am in heaven when I'm there! Unfortunately...I'm also on a budget....so I am being selective on what piece of furniture gets a make-over each month! This weekend I selected fabric for the dining room chairs!!! I am so so excited about this! I also bought fabric for the shower curtain (for the guest bathroom.) I felt excited to get those two things purchased.....I have a long list of things that could use some pretty fabric......next will probably be the curtains for the dining room and family room (that will have to wait a month or two) :( I am in love with Anthropology's knobs.....they make me smile! It's like jewelry for furniture! I am in the process of selecting knobs for our future dresser and my china cabinet (which was Logan's Mamaws). I will try to post before and after pictures of each piece as I go.......but for now I have posted a few of my inspiration pics!
