Extras

I needed a little stool to boost decorations in the downstairs bath, but I was too cheap to pay the price asked for them, so Hubby made me one and a spare out of scrap wood we had from our other projects. Perfect stools, perfect price.

I just got the little shelf with the drawer and star. I haven't found a place for it yet or something to put on it, but I'm sure it will be settled in before long.

Bath Decor

I got a new shelf for the upstairs bathroom. It is a little heftier than the old one to balance the new medicine cabinet.

I was jealous of my Mom and Aunt, who have closets in their bathrooms and don't need a medicine cabinet. They got cute country mirrors for their baths and I was stuck with a non country looking medicine cabinet, until I found a perfect one on ebay. Now I have the same look and also function.

Accidental Perfection

I had a brilliant idea to remove the sub woofer speaker from behind the TV stand and then I could move it back into the corner more so it didn't look like so much empty space behind the new TV cover. We took out the speaker and started to move the stand and the back legs of the stand ripped off. We weren't sure what to do because I figured a new stand wouldn't fit the new TV cover and Hubby said he could try to fix the legs, but I looked under and it was all the same length and I said let's just take the front legs off and put the stand flat on the floor, so we did. It lowered the TV to exactly eye level and the new TV cover doesn't block the shelf on the wall and it looks less bulky in the room. I love it more now! I ordered a candle chandelier to hang over the area to fill in the space behind the TV stand a little. Picture to come...

You may also notice that the curtain on the bottom is half the size it used to be. We decided to upgrade to this decade and get a soundbar and little sub speaker instead of our wired surround sound. We were able to fit it all in the TV cover and remove the receiver from the cabinet. I cut the curtain in half and now have a display cubby too!

New Decor

I got this little shelf last month. I put it in the dining room next to the windows. I added the grapevine wreath to the top.

I added a wreath to the front of the fireplace. I think it adds just enough decoration.

Woodworking and Appliance Covers

We made a cover cabinet for the TV. It came out good, but I didn't realize how big our TV was until we brought the cover upstairs to put over it. I overcompensated a little for the size because all of our previous covers ended up being smaller than I expected because I forgot to consider the width of the wood.

This is the microwave cover. All we have left to cover is the coffee maker. It will be kind of sad not to have any more covers to make.
