Woo mama! I'm loving this so far! I have a set of these doors that I claimed from Grandma Jeanette's old house. They were a dark brown bifold door that was used for decoration between the dining space and living space. I'm thinking I'll frame the opening to our master bath with these beauties when they are done.

Its been a crazy few months. I'm getting back into the swing of things. Today's project was this beauty. Its a beautiful little wine/bar cabinet that would work really well as a hall table or as an accent piece in just about any room. There is one drawer and one large cubby. I was picturing it as towel storage in a small bathroom.

I came across an old spinning wheel that had crumbled. The only piece that could be salvaged was the wheel. A little white paint and a little distressing, and now its a brand new piece of farm house decor!

Not only did I finish a few pieces of furniture this weekend, we also completed the big room swap moving the big girls into their new grown up room. We condensed and have beds, bookshelves and a desk to move out. I love how the decorative wall turned out. Time to keep staying busy.
