Completed & Just Begun

The wall is finished and we made this REALLY easy shelf last night and hung in up.

I was going back and forth between a 4 1/2 ft and 6 1/2 ft shelf.

(if I were to do it again I would have cut the larger one down to 5 1/2 ft and that would have been perfect)

Overall I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.

p.s. i moved my lfg framed collage into the family room.

As for now I am going to leave the fireplace alone, but that molding had not left my mind yet for the walls :)

Moving On

My front door needed a makeover! Bad!

you can't see it, but there were so many scuffs and dings from door hangers, plus the plain old white was BORING.

I prep'd everything and applied the primer.

Then grabbed some paint I had in the shop from a previous project.

(yep, still trying to do projects for FREE)

However sadly the paint and gel'd up :(

Even though it was sealed tight, I'm sure the heat got to it over the summer :(

This size will only cost me a few bucks and hopefully I can get the job done with just one

(fingers crossed)
