Year End Review

by Tahira Designs on January 2, 2013

There is nothing like the fear of failing to light a fire under your butt. While I didn’t get everything done I wanted to, I am pretty proud of myself for the things I did. In the past four days, I finished the “easy” projects that I had been putting off.

I got shelves put up in my bathroom.

I refinished my chandelier in the foyer. When I bought it, it was the lovely 8Os brass. I painted it a golden color, but it was still too brassy for me. Now it’s a deep bronze. Not only does it just look better, but it matched the chandelier in the adjoining room better.

I have a great kitchen, but there was no place to put the trash can. I had thought about cutting out a drawer and doing the cutting board over the trash (which I might still do) but for now, I installed a slide out trash can. My friends hate me for all the storage space I have in my pantry/kitchen, I still have empty cabinets.

I started to refinish my breakfast table, but that’s a several day project. It’s almost done, I’ll post how I did it when I finish.

So far…..

I bought doors to go on the laundry room, but I’m waiting on the hardware to come in to hang them. I still have to decide how I’m going to finish them. Oh, and I’ll also be making stained glass panels to go in them.

I have finally found the fabric to reupholster the couch in, now to get the fabric and make the cover.

I printed 101 pictured from my European trip about 5 years ago. My brother got me this great album, so it was about time I filled it. Only problem with that, now I HAVE to go back!!!

I also lined the laundry room cabinets, hung a basic towel rack (still plan on changing), and am 75% done with the Peacock Stipple.

All in all, I’m pretty happy that I got most everything done on my list. Just because the year has ended, doesn’t mean I’m going to stop working on the list. After all, my list is constantly growing!!
