Making the best of what's on hand.
Before it’s always been “Apartment Redress.” Now that we are living in a house, I’ll continue the redress projects in my home. :)
First though, I want to give you an overview of the place. Today’s post is going to show what it looks like now. As we fix things up, I’ll post about it.
Last week I posted about how the back wall in my new studio was dull and devoid of color. I need color. I need patterns. I need a place to pin stuff too. Thank you for all your ideas for jazzing up the space, I mashed most of them together […]
Two weeks ago I posted about the color dilemma with the basket. Dilemma 1: the basket is not a color I like. Dilemma 2: what color to paint it! I decided to go with the yellow over the red. Often, with cheap spray paint (which is what I have), it’s so […]

It’s great having a place to put all my stitch markers instead of just putting them into random little pouches and bags and cubbyholes.
I redid the wooden 4 drawer set I had mentioned yesterday. It wasn’t really hard to do but made me feel really good. Kind of set the rest of my day on good footing you know. Here is what I did:
