little by little . . .

 

Little by little,

I am ticking off things off the list.

The yard looked like this last week

but you can see that I have made some changes.

The first change was to move the yellow cupboard from the porch to the hallway and give it a new paint job.

This old cabinet has been many colors over the 35 years I have owned it and this time I created a mint green using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Antibes, Pure White and Marine Blue.

A touch of yellow peeks out on the edges

and a little bird knob graces the front of the cabinet.

We are planning to paint the walls white, but for now I am content with the green cabinet against yellow walls.

The reason I wanted the cabinet inside the house was to store placemats and table runners - the pottery was added for fun!

The removal of the cabinet from the porch led to moving the baker's rack from the side yard.

I tried a lot of different items on the shelves until I settled on pottery.

While I was painting the cabinet, Steve was working on another project on the list.

A friend gave us this bench in January and Steve freshened it up with a couple of coats of polyurethane.

Another project on the list was to spice up the vintage window hanging on the wall.

My hand is healed enough that I can sew once again and it took just a few minutes to sew up a little  banner I stenciled.

The area was finished off with an old ladder that got bumped from the living room.

The curtain for the garage door is finished and

 tomorrow I am tackling the "jungle" in the garden.

With only 7 items left on the list and 2 weeks to go before JP's graduation party,

life is definitely good!
