January is nearly over so I decided I had better write my "2018 Projects" post before February arrives - I like writing my goals on the blog because it holds me accountable.
Last year I wanted to have plate racks built for the dining room and despite it taking 7 months, it happened.
The racks make so much difference in the dining room
and I have fun styling them in different colors throughout the year.
Another goal was to make new covers for the chaises in the garden - this fabric wore thin from the sun.
Just like the old covers, the new covers were made from an old duvet and cost me nothing.
They are so easy to make that I ended up making a second set in plain white to use for the patriotic holidays.
About 8 years ago we had the front porch covered in stone and for several years repeating the stone on the back porch has been on my list of goals.
As you can see, it hasn't happened - maybe this is the year.
So what's up for 2018?

A new window seat cushion cover to replace the red and blue striped one I made in 2013.
I made this cover out of an old quilt, but I only had enough fabric to velcro it on and it was always slipping.
The fabrics in this stack of pillows shared on Instagram by pure_michigan_gal is my inspiration and I just need to make the time for the hunt.

I love the old door in our guest room and have fun changing it with the seasons or holidays,
but when I saw this picture on Instagram from Dreamy Whites Lifestyle, I decided I wanted to paint the other side a color so I can switch them around.
I'm torn between Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Louis Blue or Provence - I think Provence will win out because I actually have a sampler can of it on hand.
Also on my list is fixing this "fail".
I absolutely loved this little table in green and yellow, but didn't like the colors in our bedroom and so I painted it.
I actually painted over the white right away, but it doesn't have the pizazz that the two tone table had.
These are the colors of the bed pillows now so I think I'll leave the legs blue and use teal or aqua for the drawer, table top and shelf.
How about you, is there a list waiting to be checked off?
