It has taken 10 days...

and 2 tries, but I have an archway!






The first attempt - way too flat.









Mid-reconstruction















It's pretty!

Hardware

I bought knobs and pulls on ebay today. I hope they are as pretty in person!






Light!

I got a wicked deal on this light, a smaller one for over the sink and a medium size one for the nook.

Living Room

I finally hung my favorite painting. And Barbie made me some pillows for the couch!



Guest room - It's a real bed!

I finally got a bedframe and built a headboard for the guest room. It's starting to look like a real bedroom!



Jewelry Wall

I built this to store jewelry in the dead space in the center of my closet. So far, it is keeping everything organized. And I realized I have lost several pairs of earrings in the last few years. I wonder where they went?

Instructions - Earring frame
1. Removed the glass and mat from a picture frame.
2. Drilled holes through the board that forms the back of the picture frame and poked matching holes in cardboard padding.
3. Covered cardboard with wrapping paper and taped it down.
4. Used small hooks to poke holes in wrapping paper

Instruction - Necklace box
I used 2 utensil holders from the kitchen section at Target.

I painted the utensil boxes with white lacquer spray paint (2 coats).

I drilled holes in the corners for the support screws and then holes for the knobs. I used the old knobs from my kitchen cabinets.

Then I added the same wallpaper as the earring frame and some fancy paper to cover the back of each section.

I hung the frame, the boxes and an old shelf from my house in Royal Oak and everything is organized now!


Question: Backsplash

Which backsplash tile do you like better? Ice (top) or Vapor (bottom)?

(my tile sounds like the cast of Top Gun)
