More Projects!

More projects!
My list of projects is not too long, but some more detailed than others.  I think it is fun to have a list of things to keep you busy.  Especially when it is creative stuff to play around with.
So here is the rest of my list so far.

#Two
This goes along with school stuff and the boys will love it. I am going to hang the big bulletin board we use to have in the DR right outside their bedroom doors. The wall has nothing on it, but a a lovely dirty clothes basket.

My only problem is...it looks so plain. I want a FUN, boyish way to decorate the frame.  But I may just have to go with the plain frame. I searched the net looking for cute ways to dress up a bulletin board and am finding teacher type decorations.

It really will not matter to the boys one way or the other.  They will enjoy hanging their stuff on it regardless.  And it is right by their rooms to see. 
I'll hang it for now and wait for something creative to come to mind................................


#Three
This one will be FUN! And "might" have to wait until the weather cools down a bit. It would require me working outdoors if I go one way. The other way I could so do this right where it is.

I want to refinish it or maybe decopouge the top of this little bench. Still thinking of what I want to do, but know for sure I have become bored with this color.

Years ago I bought this little bench from Big Lots for $19.99. It was plain unfinished wood. I watered down green paint and painted the bench. Next I sanded down the edges and painted those areas with a dark stain to look worn. I have loved it for years, but am ready for a change.

What do you think? White all over shabby chic bench or white shabby chic with decoupage on top?


And now for the final project.......drum roll please...........................
#Four

I am going to redo my laundry room!!!! Brant says, "Why? ......no one ever goes in there."

This is why..............................

When we built our home almost 12 years ago borders were SO in!!!! We also had a border in our kitchen and in both bathrooms. Now don't get me wrong there is NOTHING wrong with borders. And this one is really cute, but our taste has changed so much over twelve years.

Plus I keep thinking if I make it a nice room to look at maybe I'll keep it cleaner and neater. This will take the longest of all my projects. The border is not coming off easy......I already tried behind the door. So I'll need to get a product to help remove it. And I am not sure if I will have to go back and paint where I remove it. 
I also want to brighten up this dingy looking linoleum floor. How you ask?
***Brant, don't freak out!***
I want to paint it!!! It can be done. Check this out! This is painted linoleum! I have always wanted a black and white check floor. The laundry room is the only place I could do it!

Like I said this project will take me the longest. It may be Thanksgiving before I am done!!! So I better get started soon!!!

I'll update you on my progress as I finish a project!
