Remember my bedroom plans???

It's been so long since I've thought about doing anything in my bedroom.  It looks presentable (when the bed is made), and works as it is.

Remember these frames I built some time ago???  Well, for several months they've been hanging over my bed -empty!

   

 
Then, awhile back I scored some prints at Hobby Lobby (40% off coupon!) that I thought might work.  But, they sat leaning against my bedroom wall for weeks!  I finally cut them down to size and stuck them in the frames!

And, I think I like them!

You can't really tell from this picture below, but the drapes that I hung when I first started this re-do have large orange blossoms and other flowers on them.  

The drapes are muted a bit more than the prints, but it's the same flower.   

I think I'm done with changes here for now!  

I hope you're making much more exciting changes in your lives.

More tables!

A couple of weeks ago I finished up another project for the Docs.  I'm having such a good time helping them furnish their new home!  Thankfully, they like the "sophisticated, rustic" look - much easier when you don't have to worry about dings and dents in material!

Well, you remember that I finished up the coffee table with the classy legs.

Those legs were the most expensive material I've ever used on a piece of furniture!  So, for the end tables I made, we went with a different style - same finish and same 2x material, just slightly different base.  Design and plans from Ana-white.com.

The finish is the same as the coffee table, conditioner, dark walnut stain, sand, weathered oak stain, sand, white wash, sand, combination of dark walnut and weathered oak stains, sand, 3 coats of polyurethane in satin finish.

See the X design on the sides?  Angles and math involved here - ugh!  And, you can sure see the whiteish/gray on the base.  It really didn't look like that when I was working on it!

     

And, here they all are together!

Two more, for another room, to go!
