Awesome File Cabinet

My Aunt and Uncle made a double wide file cabinet that is primitive and so nice looking. I can't fit a double wide one anywhere so I asked them to make me one that's a single file cabinet and it came out perfect. It looks so much nicer than a block of metal one. I love it!

New Floor

My Mom and I put in a new vinyl tile floor in the upstairs bathroom (she did most of the work). It's not that the floor we put in a few years ago was bad, in fact, we did a really good job, but my Mom did these tiles in hers and I liked how it came out and she offered to help do mine. I finally decided to just go for it. It looks great and it's fancier with the real grout than just sheet vinyl.

New Stuff

I desperately need more counter space in the kitchen so I got a new island that's bigger than the island cart I had. I found this one and so far it's working great. I like the little display shelves on the sides, but I'll have to find stuff to fill them up. I only have one thing for every day so far.

We made another cover for the coffee machine. It's really big, but I like the boxes instead of looking at the appliances. We also added a top to the toaster oven cover so it looks like the other covers instead of just a rectangle.

Halloween Crafts

I made this candy corn out of leftover yarn. It's cute, but I think the gourd came out better.

The gourd with leftover yarn. I want to make more of these maybe.

The plastic canvas wreath I did for Halloween. I like how it came out and I'm glad I made it, even though I have no places to put anything else.

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!
