A Painted Wardrobe, My Word & A New Year

2013.....I am glad it's here.  I took a week off from everything.  It was nice, short but nice.  I did a lot of thinking, maybe too much and I decided I have a word for 2013, my first word was going to be "Share", then I changed my mind and decided it was going to be "Real", yup in 2013 I am going to keep it real.  Real to myself and to this blog.  I tend to edit out my personality somewhat when I write, I over think and according to my husband I take to many breaks, and, "Share" will be my back up word, because I do not share half of the things I do or my knowledge with you and I am going to start.

So get used to the real sharing me!

Just to get 2012 out of the way here is one (trust me there are more) thing I finished,

A wardrobe, this piece was painted in many different paints, ASCP in Old Violet on the inside, Milk Paint from OFMP, on the outside of the doors in Oyster White, with Salem Red OFMP under the gray, and the front and side panels are ASCP in cream. What can I say, I ran out of paint in the middle somewhere and had to improvise.

You can kind of see the red in this photo, just a little.

Just in case you were wondering what I have been doing, I have been sewing a slipcover for my new old couch the past couple of days, three cushions left and it's done.  I also sewed some tablet covers, only because I am too cheap to buy one.  My tree is still up and the Christmas lights on the front of my house are still on. Two days before Christmas we gutted our half bathroom and finished it, that was exhausting, only because the bathroom is the size of a port-a-potty, it needed it bad, since we moved into this house, ummm 4 1/2 years ago we have not had a sink, yes our guests had to pee then wash there hands in the kitchen, (sorry). I plan on sharing pics because it came out so cute, I made a DIY roman shade using mini blinds, love it, who ever had that idea first is a genius.

I am not sure if you noticed a couple different things on my Blog, there are two, if you hoover over any image in a post a giant P pops up in the middle for Pinterest, it was really easy to do and if you are interested here is the link to the site  Blogger Sentral.  

Also, on my side bar, there are some new big icons, social sharing icons, I have been seeing them on blogs everywhere and at first I thought it was a Wordpress thing, but its not and it was fairly easy, but a little more time consuming, Sew Many Ways Blog has a great tutorial , she also has the link to get the icons in many different colors from Carrie Loves.  I love these people, for making my life easier.

Happy New Year to Everyone!
