Being unable to be active forces you to find other projects and hobbies... so this weekend i was the slave driver and Steve and I gave his kitchen and dining area a face lift.
It all started with him installing a new garbage disposal... and then it ended with us painting his kitchen bright ORANGE! The cool thing about his house is that it has funky angles and kind of a retro, modern, 70's feel... so we decided to embrace it and add to it. He has these baby blue counter tops and we thought orange would complement... after a few days deciding if it was too bold, we decided to just go with it. It bright and kinda funky, but fun!
Another HUGE project i started was curtain making... never have i sewn a curtain, and it was much harder than i thought! Steve's mom loaned me her sewing machine and i bought this outdoor canvas fabric paired with burlap for the top section. I really like how they turned out, for my first try! Then i refinished the kitchen chairs a solid black color, before they were a red country pattern that didn't really go with the new style of kitchen... it was fun using the staple gun, and a fairly easy project to do.
So that was my weekend, painting and sewing! I know the pictures wont do it justice, but here's a glance!
