Project #1

This summer I have a few projects cut out for myself. I am quite tired of the one color of paint throughout the whole entire house that I have decided to start putting in some color for accent walls. I am going to begin with my living room. This will be project #3.

Project #2 has been started. I have wanted for some time now to put our armoire into our bedroom with a TV so that I can peacefully watch it in bed instead of the living room. The bottom half of armoire is being used though for a entertainment stand at the moment. We have looked at other entertainment stands and I just don't want to spend the money on one. So, I have taken an idea from my sister-in-law and bought an old dresser at a second hand store for $30 and will take out the top 2 drawers and put shelves in them to accommodate the receiver, Tivo box, Apple TV and DVD player. I am currently sanding the whole dresser and going to refinish it the way I would like it to look. I hope it turns out well. Once I finish it, I can put our armoire and older TV into our room. Then I can also move on to project #3.

Now, project #1 was to hang our family picture that we had taken in September. I was finally able to complete it. I love the way it turned out. I even got extra picture frames so I wouldn't have to buy new ones when we have more children to add. I was able to matte the big family picture by myself, which saved us a lot of money!!!! So, here is how it turned out.
