The sea-shell will be removed and dry wall added, or just painted over. I am unsure. Either way, it is going to be a Hispanic yellow with accents of red and blue. The window features a nice shelf for plans and accents. The cabinet handles will be removed and replaced with splashes of blue/red.

This is real life math! Height, length, width, how to tape with 1inch tape - a lot more fun standard math problems!
Working on the nursery for my first grandchild. We are waiting to meet who they are! My daughter has allowed me to play HGTV. Walls are done, window treatments are getting hung, matching crib skirt awaiting crib assembly, changing dresser is up next for painting and chair cushions are on the list to be completed to renew a Great Grandpa's glider for those quiet times.
I mostly followed this tutorial smartgirlsdiy.com/2013/12/how-to-paint-a-chevron-wall/#co... It was the best one I found that made sense. No frustrations - all the details for a success.
Green stain is Ronseal Weathershield I think, £6.99 from Boyes or £8.99 for exactly the same stuff at Barnitts, York.
The main reason for “headboard project” going into overtime is mainly due to the fact that so many coats of stain were needed and the drying time. Now that all of the stain is complete, I’ll need to wait for it to dry, and then I can put the varnish on. Once THAT is done; we’re back to drying time again. I can’t wait for the final assembly!
Lumber = $75
Glue, stain, varnish = $21
Brushes, nails, dowels =$8
Not spilling stain on your carpet……PRICELESS!

New post on the blog!
I should first start explaining that title which seems more a joke than a proper name. Do you remember how back on Spring we changed our living room storage buying the cute white wallpapered bookshelves with doors? That post was called Part I with a purpose, we already had in mind that we didn’t want to stop at the bookshelves but also wished to change a little bit the too plain space next to them. ...

Like a solitary leaf resting on a foreign surface, vast and unknown...We have evolved to become dis-connected to that which has given us Life. Now more than ever before...it is so Vital that we re-learn to re-connect back to our planet...to the living, breathing Life which is Nature that provides for us and allows us to exist. If we can only re-learn to value her, respect her and LOve her...she will insure our survival. I invite you to watch a video on 'You Tube' called 'Home' by HomeProject... it is the story of our planet's past, present and future...it is abit long, but well worth taking the time...it may very well be the most important video you will ever see...it is time to wake-up...~
