Headboard bench # 2 finally finished..

Here it is all done .. and ready to leave home.. shoo go... off with you now.. goodbye. adios..
and so it did.... thanks to Craigslist it is now in it's new eclectic little townhouse.

My motivation.

If you've read my profile you know I live in a huge 4600 sq foot house that has 6 bedrooms.. FOR 2 PEOPLE....!!!!! this all started with me trying to fill this giant house with furniture.. For the first year we had alot of empty rooms.. Once I started refinishing things it started filling up.. and it continues to fill up.. The great thing is that I now have a HUGE collection of unique posessions and it's all cost hardly anything..

I've learned alot about tools, paint brushes , stains , drill bits , saws., etc.. I have subscripions to every magazine I can think of... . I've read alot of How to books..and asked the paint lady at Home Depot a ton of dumb questions..

Thrift shopping and refinishing/repurposing has now become my favorite hobby, almost an obsession.. Most of my projects turn out pretty good.. once in a while there's a flop. I'm pretty happy with most of my creations.... plus,,, I'm having so much fun reading blogs and trying out all these marvelous ideas that all the clever women in blogland come up with.. ( and if I do say so myself , a few great ideas of my own. )

Slowly but surely I'm going to fill up this house.

Then we'll move.. lol.:)
