Mom's New Nightstand #1

Mom's Nightstand #1

If you remember back over Thanksgiving my wonderful mother brought me some, no not just some...A LOT of furniture to refinish.

She wanted to add some color to her room and she choose this beautiful green.

Here is what it looked like before:

Here is what it looks like now:

12/14/2012... A day we will never forget

My heart is breaking.

Nothing about today makes any sense.

Today IS the worse tragedy in our history.

Upcoming Projects

After the busy Thanksgiving Holiday

I am finally able to start some new projects!!

Earlier this week I sold several pieces of furniture,

which left me with only ONE completed project!

YAY!!!!!

Very exciting to be sold out, 

but 

a little overwhelming too.

My garage is now empty and 

my basement full of unfinished pieces.

Oh, where should I start!!??

Here are some I hope to get to work on tomorrow:

Hope everyone will check back in a few days to see how they turn out....

Bathroom Towel Hanger

Kids Bathroom Towel Hanger

I was "over" the towel bar in the kids bathroom.

It never gets used.

The kids throw the towels on the floor and I end up doing more laundry!!!

If I buy decorative towels they end up using them and well that defeats the purpose!

So I got creative with what I had laying around the garage...

In a previous post, found here:

http://thatsnotjunk.blogspot.com/2012/09/5-auction-find-turned-shabby-chic.html

I purchased a dresser with missing drawers and had this piece left over.

I decided to shabby chic and distress it and add some decorative hardware.

This was the original dresser.

It had an extra front to the drawer, no drawer attached.

I saved it hoping one day I would have a use for it.

Here is a "before" close up:

Here are all the after pics:

AND NOW THEY ACTUALLY USE IT!!!

Cat Box Dresser

Kitty Litter Box / Dresser

To all those "cat lovers" out there like me...

this idea was a no brainer!

An "all-in-one" pet station" of sorts.

Here were my top issues:

1. The awful smell of a cat litter box. 

**this became an issue when we adopted "Little Man", oh my could he fill a room with his aroma!

2. The dogs (okay maybe just "Lila") stealing the cats leftover food and the bowls ending up somewhere other than where they were suppose to be.

3. The ugly sight of a cat litter box.

4. Cat litter being tracked everywhere.

Just to name a few!!

So this became the "fix"

The

 "KIT Station"

(This one is named after our beloved "Kit" who past away a few days ago)

Here is what we started with:

HERE IS HOW SHE TURNED OUT:

 Pet Door added to the side so they can go in and out

 A drawer to store all the food, bowls, treats, ect.

 Hinges on the side of the old drawer faces so it can easily be opened for cleaning

 Very important vent in the back which you can attach a dryer sheet to make the odor "fresh"!

The top is used to feed them. The dogs can't reach anymore!

And "Little Man" uses it.

He's such a fast learner!

Before & After:

The "Kit" Station

"BooBoo"

Lost our beloved baby today

11/15/00-11/21/12

Had 12 wonderful years with her

Georgia Peach Desk

"Georgia Peach Desk & Chair"

Solid mahogany desk and chair.

Although I thought it crazy to paint I wanted to give it some spice.

I had two samples of a peach Valspar paint I had been dying to use. 

So I decided to paint the drawers first and then figure out from there what else to do.

It came together as my version of french provincial.

Here are the after pictures:
