One thing I HAVE resolved as of today, are setting my DIY projects into motion:
1. "HIS" & "HER" to hang over the double sinks in the b-room. I can't wait!
I'm thinking of using this "Marisco" type. Hopefully jz will like too.
2. My patio furniture is looking pretty rag-tag as of late. It's a small cafe table, with worn pressed plywood and wire legs. I thinking something in the spirit of a nice turqiouse for the chairs & base of the table, and Mod Podging the top with a rattan print. I am super pumped at the prospect of this. And why wouldn't I be?Btw, I have always loved the type on the mod podge label. And for some reason I have always referred to it as "modge podge" and will continue to do so.
3. Finally, my scariest one. DIY Upholster. I've never reupholstered before, so I'm slightly nervous about the whole thing. But I have heard, you should start with chairs. This one seems slightly complicated, having to replace springs. I bought it for $10 at a antique shop in Mississippi. It's crying out for help, and it's completely unusable, besides it's current job of collecting dirty laundry. So I'll just take a deep breath, have my patience on hand, and get out my staple gun. I will do swatch search tomorrow, but I'm thinking a nuetral tweed, or a super fun print. I know, opposite ends of the spectrum.
So that's it! I'm totally accountable, now that I've put it out there in the DIY universe.
Wish me luck!
