This mess is a place! {author unknown}

ha! i like that quote because it makes my obscenely messy house funny and not sad. ;) anyway, this isn't a post about the cool stuff i've accomplished for my house, it's about the things i've sort of accomplished and what my plans in the works are. lots of projects, and you would think unemployment would also be 'lots of time' but it's surprisingly less than i expected. so for now the house is full of awkward spaces and piles of materials. anyways,
super awkward space in the living room. both sides of the TV need something, because the TV becomes the focal point of the room when you're on the couch. i have another stand to go along with this set of stuff, love the sconces, and need to paint my sculpture.

SWEET old table i got at a thrift shop. you can't see it but the rim around the top edge is that great old hospital-green color, i'm hoping to sand it back down to that. the legs and drawer also need sanding and re-painting. that tray is done too, i'll have a separate post about that.

BLANK!! booooring! i had 3 paintings here before but i sold them, so it's been blank since then. i have B-I-G plans for this space. see yellow wall stuff below!

sorry this one is sideways, but it's just another boring spot, upstairs hallway. i have a few plans but the upstairs is a later priority at this point.

hallway stuff!! hanging this weekend. this will be a big check off my list.

old chair with great bones i'm going to sand down and refinish. got a fantastic rich dark brown stain for this guy.



so that's what i'm workin on now, along with a few other projects for customers. stay tuned for the finished scenes!! and i always take suggestions so if you have an idea for me shoot it to me in the comments. tank ya!

  1. Kassie, I love what you are doing. I love to create/recreate too, but my inspiration/motivation has been on hold for awhile. Watching you "go to it" is really awakening those passions! Thank you! I might even get my sewing machine out again! :)
