Chase's Projects

 

Now that we have been home for a couple weeks and no company or appointments (well, there have been a few), I've started on my HUGE list of projects - some of them almost a year old.

 

Chase wanted a desk for his room so I'm trying to convince dad to "give up" his old desk that we bought the first year we were married and now just holds a bunch of junk.  But if he has a desk, he needs a desk chair and I was going to get rid of my grandchildren chair from the dining room - yes, it was difficult to paint over it but it was just a chair.

 

Here's the before:

And the after:

I hope Chase likes it.  He helped me paint the granchildren chair several years ago.  In fact, we picked up the chair in a garbage pile.  We have rolling chairs, as you know in the dining room and Chase was always messin' around and one night he slammed his chin on the table so we had to get a non-rolling chair for him.  (This was when you guys were living with us.)  So you understand, the chair had siginificant memories for me and it's only right that it's going back to Chase.

This little dresser/end table I bought for Amy waaaaaay before she left home (back in Maplewood).  It was white and I can't believe how a little $30 chest could stand up as well as it has.  Since Chase's room is gray, red and black, I painted it black and then painted the handles silver.  I think it looks great!!  Dad brought it up there today since he's finishing up the cellar door for Kurt and Amy.

 

I finished another project today but will wait a few days to tell you about it.   I'm moving some furniture around now - going to put the dining room hutch in the living room and my radio/stereo in the dining room and the coffee table in front of the loveseat - at least I'm going to try to do it.

 

My gallery wall is almost completed.  Have to put the "H" up yet but we need to get dad's magic ladder in the house to do it and then we're going to take down the cob-web, dust bunny wreath.

 

That's it for today.  Oh yeah, I had a doctor appointment this morning and it went SUPER!!!

 

Love to you all,
