Re: QOTD 1/27

  • LOL!  I have waaaaaay too many to list!!

    - All my furniture refinishing that I've been talking about.  I need to get pictures of it all so I can show it to you guys.

    - I'm planning on making this bench for the foot of our bed.

    - I'm going to use this tutorial to convert this Ikea chair into a rocker.


    - Headbands for Aria

    I'm sure there are more that I just can't think of right now.

  • I'm not much of a DIY'er. But, we want need to finish painting our dining room and get the trim cut and put up. We basically need to start over because we found some rogue wallpaper and the chair rail would be wonky if we don't fix it. 

    I also want to paint our bedroom, but I have no idea what I want to do.

    This is why I STILL haven't printed an actual album from our wedding.  By the time I selected the ones I wanted, it was enough shots to fill 5 photo books  @-)  We have 3 large shots printed in our living room and I would fill the whole place with them if I could.

  • I want to make collage letters. I, like @LDubHawksFan‌ , was also wondering how many wedding pictures were too many. Lol

  • We still need to get everything hung up on the walls in Wren's nursery. It hasn't really been a priority because she sleeps in our room currently, but it does need to get done...
    I also need to get photos uploaded to Shutterfly so I can put together my free photo book. Better get moving on that!

  • I shamelessly hang wedding photos throughout the whole house.  

    The only DIYs that come to mind are making a dress into a skirt (which should be interesting since I have ZERO sewing skills) and painting a sweater to say "ask me about my cat" (inspiration here).

  • I am horrible at DIY.  If I knew how to find and attach GIFs, I would find something beautiful and then the crappy, falling apart version of it.  The crappy one would be mine.

    We need to finish our fireplace.  H stripped the mantel, but didn't leave the stripper on long enough.  He needs to do it again, but of course he did it on the last nice weekend.  He may try to do it in the garage with the door cracked for air.  Then we need to sand it and refinish it.  The fireplace is brick, but like everything else in our house, the previous owner painted it.  By paint, I mean he painted the bricks red and the grout lines gray.  I want to put a mosaic tile over it and put a complimentary tile on the small hearth.  I want to start buying supplies for that now.

    We have a small 3 season room.  There are 3 sliding doors to no where, for air.  Under and above them are paneling.  I want to pain the paneling white to brighten the space.  On the floor I want to pull up the carpet and lay a laminate wood that matches our wood floors.  We need to pull down the teak on the ceiling and put up white bead board.  I want a ceiling fan with a light to move air out there.  I want to get some comfy chairs and a small table to finish it off.  I picture H and I sitting out there for breakfast on weekend mornings.  That is our April project.

    I dont have any DIY planned but i gave H a list from pinterest=)

    He bought all the wood and tools to make: 3 toy boxes (2 for our house and 1 for my sister's kids) and a china cabinet/hutch to match the farmhouse style dining room table we have, so far he has only completed one toy box and is half way done with another. I cant wait for my china cabinet, i still have most of my stuff from my bridal shower in the attic bc i have no where to put it!

    At some point he is going to re-do our master closet and the closet in the guest bedroom, make my parents the base to a dining room table and make one of those ruler things that you can measure a baby's growth on.

  • Short version of my answer--I have a "Things I Could Make" pinterest board. I have yet to make any of it. (Popular items include clothing pieces and rustic looking home decor items)
