Make over Project for my mom part #1

My mom got this stand a few years back and it has never been in all that good of shape.
Then....it landed at my house and I honestly have no where to put it. I've decided to give it a make over for her, and give it to her for a mothers day gift! It used to have a door on the bottom but it got wet and the materials have seporated and can no longer be used.....also I need to figure out something for the top of it as the board is missing. She will love it!! When I have it all finished Im going to take it to her camp where she will find it all pretty and new :)

Im going to fix it as best i can...sand it and paint it white! I LOVE white painted furniture!!

Now I know I doesn't look like much rite now.....BUT It will be wonderful when Im done! :)
I think anything with a fresh coat of paint can look beautiful! I painted my bathroom vanity a while back and LOVE it!


My bathroom is my favorite room in my house, Ill get some good pictures of it soon, I keep my basins that I collect in there....just love them :)



My mom bought me all of these, she finds them at yard sales and flea markets.

Well thats all for tonight! I need to go make my list of supplies to get that corner shelf fixed up!

Until next time!

What makes me tick

I decided to start this blog to share what inspires me and makes me happy and Healthy.
I LOVE Cottage style decorating! It's amazing how our surroundings can change how we feel! I LOVE white! It's so clean and calm to me. I am in the process of giving myself and my home a face lift!
My face lift is loosing 30lbs, My house Face lift is clearing out the clutter and getting organized and decorated so that I am in complete bliss when I walk through the door every night.

I Love antiques! old chairs, tables with the paint all chipped, bottles, buckets, quilts, I could  go on and on!! I also love beach glass. I live about a 10 min walk from the ocean and enjoy going for walks on the beach and collecting beach glass.

I have a ton of little make over projects that I want to do as well! Everyday I will do my best to get SOMETHING done and will share it on here.
For now I am going to head to bed! 5:00am comes early!

Health and Happiness to you,

Mel
