Window Boxes

My window boxes are not fancy but they are done and they are holding plants.  I will embellish them next season with some decorative trim to give them a little more detail but they are functional for now.

 

Geez!  What other projects have I forgotten to post?

How Could I Forget the Boathouse?

Unbelievable!  I forgot to post finished pictures of the boathouse and outdoor shower.

 


     


I have to say...I think the shower is my favorite part.  At least it gets the most use so far.
 


Painted brick fireplace and new wall colors

I decided the old brick color was holding me back in the den so I decided to paint it.
BEFORE
AFTER
And then that led to a complete room make-over that is still underway but here are a few preview pics of my new gray and chartreuse room.  My desk (which is being painted now - must remember to get progress shot before the whole thing is painted) will go on the left side of the fireplace and mudroom items will be to the right side (I need to figure out how to integrate the mudroom stuff without it looking too cluttered and without spending a fortune on built-ins).



And here is my old red barnwood cabinet that got a fresh coat of white paint while I was working on the fireplace (no BEFORE pictures were taken of it but it definitely was too rustic country for my taste).

Dresser Revamp

One old dresser purchased at auction...

One refreshed blue heron dresser ready for sale...

...complete with linen drawer liners.

This piece would be so cute in a nursery with 
some hanging storage inside.


Heavily distressed and so beachy I'm tempted to keep it.
