Make it Pretty Monday – Week 36

by 53 Comments

Hello World!  Did you have a good weekend?  Remember like a thousand years ago when I was painting the intricate chest I never showed you?  Well, I got some good work done on her.  Completely changed the paint color from what I had previously painted her.  All that is left to do is finish painting all of the trim and put some dark wax on her.  Hopefully, I will have her all done this week.  I also ordered a new rug for the entryway which won’t be here until the end of March and I went shopping and picked up some nice platters to restyle the entryway china hutch.  So, slightly productive.  Thank goodness. 
Are you ready to see the features from last week?  Quite the turnout we had.  So, let’s get started with Week 36 of:

    I am so flattered to be included in this week's features, so many fabulous ideas! Thank you! I can't wait to see your chest make-over, I am itching to redo some furniture and am a little afraid of taking on this type of project…after hearing your words and seeing Lisa's bathroom cabinet make over, I am really getting motivated! Thanks for a great party,
    Jenna

    Kathryn, Thanks so much for hosting! Looking forward to seeing the chest you are refinishing. I have a dresser I need to refinish, but it may have to wait due to cold weather.

    Have a productive rest of your week! 🙂

    Dear Lady – what a grand collection of ideas here EVERY WEEK! There is truly not the time to follow up on all the things I am inspired to do with so much to put creative ideas in my head! I am more like you with your unfinished furniture project that you were supposed to have done some time back – but – on hold it reappears with a complete revamp from the original plan. Looking forward to your end product. I have many projects in pre-end product phases. Praying for time to indulge the DIY muse . . .
    Joy!
