2013 Goals

I'd better get my 2013 goals done before January slips away into February!

1.  I need to figure out my dining room.  I painted the walls this grey/green but now I don't like the color.  I think there's a lot of dark wood in this room.  It's never felt quite right.  I'm considering painting the legs of the dining room table. 

Am I crazy???  




I love French Country Cottage's dining room table.  Dreamy.  I don't think my hubby would let me have a dining room quite like this {I wish!} but I think painting the legs might break up all the dark wood color.  And I think restaining the top would look good too.







I'd also like to repaint the walls a grey/beige color. 




2.  Landscaping.  This one's a big one since I'm definitely not a gardener.  But I've never liked our front landscaping.  We need landscaping done in the backyard too but one thing at a time, people!




3. Refinish this leather stool I found curbside.  Yes, I found this in front of someone's house saying 'free'.  Thank you very much.  I bought a leather refinishing kit online so I hope it works!



{Yep, those are some toys strewn across the floor.  
Too tired to move them out of the shot.
Did you catch my son's hand?  Watching a TV show shhhh}



4.  And yes I still need to fix this cabinet.  My son ran a key all over it.  That's fine, I'll just sand it down to make it a chippy white cabinet ;)



Okay, I have maybe 142 other things to add but one year at a time!

Have a great week!

  7. I love your attitude when your son dragged the key across the piece - it's only a piece of furniture. I love the little ottoman you found on the street. Why can't I ever find things that way? Have fun working on your list.
