What I've Been Up To

People probably wonder what I do all day while the kids are away. I've been working on multiple projects while our bathroom renovation is coming to a close (finally.) Pictures of that hopefully in a day or two. 

 Once complete I will tackle Carlie's room. I've spent most of the summer refinishing furniture acquired free or almost free on Craigslist. My latest project was refinishing and reupholstering a cane back chair the previous owner of our home kindly left for us. 

 This is what it looked like before, although I had already taken off the nasty green, stained, felt like satin fabric that was on the back of the chair. Eww.

Here's the after. I think it turned out quite nicely, and all that really matters is that Carlie loves it.

And with a pretty pink pillow...

Fabulous, is it not? Off to go paint some baseboards for the bathroom.
