WELCOME

WELCOME!

So . . ., you've finally found the perfect place, lots of storage, nice size rooms, all the extra amenities. But, then you're told "no painting and no making holes in the walls"! You feel all your decorating plans going out the window. What can you do to make the space your own.

Well don't despair. There are many ways to get around the restrictions and limitations and I am here to share the ways I've overcome them over the past 18yrs.

I hope you enjoy my tips and will also share your own. I'll also be sharing some of my on going projects. Once again . . .
WELCOME!!!

Frugal Treasures Tuesday #16

I've decided to take inventory on some of my larger projects.  One is this tv cabinet turned pantry turned curio cabinet. lol  I've removed the slats in the upper doors to replace with glass inserts.


Then I primed and painted it.  Still need to wax and possibly embellish it.  Plus I need to add another shelf and overhead lighting.



 My other big projects are for my bedroom, this makeover started before the bathroom.  How many projects do you keep going at one time. lol  I've had this little antique dresser for about 10yrs, a gift from a neighbor who was moving.  She refurbished and sold antiques for a living.  It's solid oak and I had intended to refinish in a medium dark stain, it was already painted white when she gave it to me, but once my health got worse I opted for an easier way.  I'm thinking turquoise, jade and pearl white combo or maybe two-tone pink; what do you think?  Check out my bedroom and let me know what you think, okay.

 This armoire used to hold my tv,


 but works much better in the bedroom.  There will be 2 shelves in the top and one in the bottom half.  Great storage.


Well that's it for me, so stay tuned as my projects unfold.  I won't even show the pieces for the livingroom and kitchen.  At least not yet . . . lol

  3. Barbe,
    Thank you for another feature - you are spoiling me with all your compliments. The chalkboard message center is proudly wearing its button. I love what you did with the cabinet. Taking the slats out and replacing with glass was a great idea. I love that dresser. I vote for sea shell pink or turquoise - maybe even both!
