My Crafty "To-do-List"

Project #1: Topiaries

As you can see here our mantel needs some help.

I fell in love with this design

so I decided it's time get crafty.

Especially since similar store bought topiaries can cost $40-$70!

I think I like the short, fluffy one better. What about you?

Project #2: Comforter/Throw Pillows

We have had the same quilt/comforter on our bed for 7 years!

Don't worry it's been washed.

It was a wedding gift and we've been too cheap to buy one

and I've been to chicken to attempt to make a new one on my own.

I've been digg'n white lately and think a white comforter with

throw pillows in any of these patterns could really make my heart happy.

Project #3: Finish Painting Dresser

Our new apartment is quite a bit smaller than our last one,

therefore creating problems with our furniture arrangements.

We had a jumbo console table (seen here)

that we used as our tv stand in the old place.

Well, in this lovely new apartment the only cable outlet is

in a corner, a corner that is much too tight for our last stand.

So we decided to take one of our old dressers, refinish/paint it

and then use it for a tv stand.

Unfortunately, after we got half way finished I decided that I

really didn't like the color we chose. So it was back to Lowe's to

pick something different (yes, Gabe was annoyed).

I forgot to take before pictures, but here's what I did snap

to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Then we plan on adding some simple hardware to finish the look.

Project #4: Family & Temple Photos

I have a large clock (which Gabe & I built together) and two mirrors

hanging above the fireplace. I really like the clean lines of the black frames,

but decided the mirrors weren't doing it for me.

I want something softer, warmer and more sentimental.

I don't have any pictures to demonstrate my vision, so you'll

just have to wait until the project is finished.
