Weekend Projects

I had a really productive weekend...a great way to spend my first full weekend of 2012.
On Saturday, we put the house back together after cleaning up all of the Christmas decorations Friday night. It's nice to have everything back to normal (although the house always looks so empty after all of the decorations are gone!).

On Sunday I decided to take on a few mini-projects. It's so fulfilling to spend a day getting things accomplished instead of just sitting around. So, I started off the day with a trip to home depot, where I bought the necessary supplies for my projects (then went to walmart for the necessary supplies for a yummy lasagna...gotta keep my hubby well fed while he prepares for his Grad School exit exam!).  Then I came home and got right to work! Here are the results:
Project 1: This one was a quick one. I had an old Jonathan Adler planner (2011...don't need that anymore!). Before I threw it out, I tore out the pages I liked. These three look great in a frame together, don't you think?
Project 2: Another quick one. This project has been lingering on since, oh, I don't know...September? I finally  attached the cushion to the rest of the chair. Project complete!
Project 3: Mirror/Oval Frame Redo. I picked up this mirror from Goodwill for  5 bucks. I loved the details, but hated the color, so I decided to fix that! Hit a few snags along the way (such as accidentally breaking the mirror...oops!) but I like the end result- a pretty turquoise frame!
Project 4: Steamer Trunk Update. I know, this project seems like it is never-ending . And it very well may be! But since it was nice outside, I decided to work on it a bit. So, I sanded down the two big sides. It looks a little better now, right?
