I have been busy painting my bathroom vanity this week. I removed the drawers and cabinet doors and placed them on saw horses in my studioffice to paint. Having the space in this room comes in very handy when trying to paint production line style.

I am taking my time so I get a smooth finish. I have the vanity base painted and the backs of the doors and drawer fronts done. I am hoping to have the vanity done by the end of the week and will share it with you soon.

While the paint is drying, I came up with a plan to make a new headboard for the guest room I call the rustic guest room. My neighbor who is moving and had the woodshop asked me if I wanted any of the aged wood he had. At first I didn’t want it, but then inspiration struck and I took it all.

This morning I am off to Lowes to get more paint. It is project central at my house this week… I hope you have an inspired one.

    Thanks for our dose of Sunday links! I always enjoy the variety of your choices. The decoupage post has good tips in it. That picture frame and those straw totes have your name written all over them.

    My computer virus protection blocks the link for “Form meets function in this cottage.” Thought you should know.

  2. Hi Diane, I always look forward to your Sunday posts, and the links you send are interesting. Among other things, this blog is poorly designed–postings aren’t separated into different links, they just follow one another and the entire page just goes on and on. Ads caused some “hopping around” making it tricky to follow a story. Everything is cluttered with ads that cover up text and are off-putting (especially the ones about torture), and I have an ad blocker on my computer. I won’t visit this site again.

  3. I haven’t thanked you in a while for your frequent entertaining posts. I appreciate the ideas you find to share. I also enjoy your DIY posts.

    Thank you for brightening my Sunday mornings!
