PROJECT #1 (FINISHED!)

I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED ONE OF MY PROJECTS AND THAT WAS MY FORMAL LIVING ROOM. IT TOOK A LOT OF LABOR AND RUNNING AROUND TO FIND WHAT I WANTED EXACTLEY BUT I AM SOO HAPPY THAT IT TURNED OUT THE WAY I PICTURED IT! HERE ARE SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICS.

BEFORE:
I FOUND THIS OLD LADDER AT AN ANTIQUE STORE HERE IN TOWN AND MARK JUST ADDED SOME BETTER STEPS FOR ME WITH BACKING SO NOTHING WOULD FALL OFF.
AFTER:

BEFORE:
I ALSO FOUND THIS OLD DOOR AT THE SAME ANTIQUE STORE. IT JUST NEEDED A LITTLE SANDING. UNDER THE LAYER OF WHITE PAINT WAS A VERY YELLOW DOOR AFTER:
I PAINTED IT AND ADDED SOME PICS I TOOK IN FLORIDA THEN ADDED AN OLD DOOR KNOB.I FOUND THIS AWESOME BOWL AND DECIDED TO FILL IT WILL OLD DOOR KNOBS AND OLD KEYS.I ACTUALLY FOUND THIS OLD CRATE AT A GARAGE SALE LAST YEAR AND DECIDED IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR HOLDING MY MAGAZINES. FINALLY THE FINISHED PRODUCT!

Lovely! You are a great decorator! Wish we lived close by so I could see it in person. Maybe one day. It's looking like we could end back up in Colorado in a couple years! :)
