the staging area

while the sellers are renting back, we're crashing with my amazingly generous mother-in-law. perhaps i should say long-suffering mother-in-law. not only does the boxer puppy run around her compound like a crazy beast - spilling water, peeing, jumping on furniture and skidding across hardwood floors - her basement has become my project staging area. (luckily, she loves crafts as much as i do!)

project #1: reupholstered ugly but comfy sofa with dropcloths from home depot




project #2: revived my grandparents' old basement cabinet and turned it into a pantry. I put a bird on it!




project #3: painted an antique iron baker's rack for guest room (my uncle is making new glass shelves!)




project #4: started on housewarming invitations - note decorative fence punch - thanks, martha stewart!


project #5: found a contractor to install this side door so we will be able to let dogs out directly into backyard


and also: made pillows, laundry sink skirt, painted a metal lantern from michael's, bought a fun pottery barn cubby for the entryway
