So, there is no chance I will actually catch all the way up, since I've been neglecting my poor blog. But I've been getting absolutely boatloads of things done and have so many projects to share!
I put up a bird feeder:

At first, the birds were having none of it. But now I have a ton of birds
I am totally incapable of identifying. |
Started my first spray paint projects.

Primer! What I should have started with was sanding.
That would have been totes smarter. |

You know what else I learned? Large flat services are not the best choice for spray paint. Also, my hand will curl up into an angry claw after about 2 coats of paint on something. I did acquire a nifty 'comfort grip'. Which promptly gave me a giant blister because I hold things weirdly. |

But in the grand scheme of things, this sad cabinet is less tragic. |

And this thrift store score is not hidden in a closet, hoping for a little attention. |

This is not the actual end home of the mirror (it's going in my orange dining room).
And I still can't find the cabinet doors. Whoops. Our living room still needs so much done to it. |

Know why Blue looks so sad?
Because that poor settee could not possibly have an uglier fabric on it.
I'm considering an art deco/hollywood regency fabric.
I'm also considering just setting it on fire. |
