Finally Finished!

A long time ago [September] I posted this picture on Facebook. I wanted to make something similar. I saw this on thathouseonthecorner.blogspot.com.


So what do you know? I found a perfectly sized frame in my garage, knocked out the glass. Sanded it down and painted it. When I went to buy the wire for the inside, it came in a roll TWICE as big as I needed.



So I decided to make a gray one for Talicia. :) She will LOOOVE it.


I'm not going to put all my jewelry on it right now because I need to pack it up and ship it to the east coast, but I put some on it so you could see how nice it looks. Yay!

Paging summer...

Come in summer. Where are you?

Yes it is 62 degrees here in Washington.
Yes tomorrow is the 4th of July.
[My favorite holiday, bbq's, hot weather, friends, family, fireworks, late night... I am a night person. Its my favorite.]

And its 62 degrees. Where is the sun?
Where's the warmth?

I mean, yeah western Washington isn't known for extremely hot summers, but I know we usually break into the 70's. Especially in July. Right?

Anyway, I'm over it. Maybe we'll have a super nice August and September. :)

On a completely different note... I am about to start my first restoration project! Yay!

I have been searching for the perfect dresser. I have a picture of it in my mind, but its hard to explain. Anyway I have been searching craigslist, garage sales and thrift stores with no success. Until yesterday.

My brother moved into a house, and the previous owner left my dream dresser! It is perfect. The exact picture in my head. And you know what Jarvis said? Have it!

So not only did I find the perfect dresser, but its free. Score!

The process begins this week. I will definitely post pictures.

:)
