I have already completed some projects that haven't been posted on here and started some new ones. I've started to tackle sewing again!
Here's what's been done since the last post:
- I hung up two drawings that my Grandpa did while he was in SE Asia. They go really well in the dining area. See above.
- I sewed a new cute dog bed for Daphne, and she loves it. No more stinky, ugly plaid, hello soft, fleecey pawprints and green!
- Brentan made a doghouse for Daphne. (She is super spoiled) It is made with redwood, which makes it almost better than the regular house! It needs to be painted (prob. Wipeout blue!)
- Reorganized the office. The big white Ikea bookshelf is now housed there, leaving the living room way more open and airy. And the office feels finished and is a productive space.
Here's what is in the works or soon to be started:
- Framing some pretty pictures of Spring flowers from around our old apartment in Boston to hang above the bed.
- Making a headboard for the bed. I got some cute fabric from the store and some molding to stain, so hopefully it will look really classy.
- Reupholstering a mid-century chair from the Alameda flea market. I get some great green trellis fabric and am ready to start my first sewed furniture project. OK, maybe not. Maybe I need to mentally prepare myself more. It's really just making two new covers for cushions, but I'm scared they will look sloppy. Any tips?
An update! Huzzah! And your office looks great! =)
