I have a new concept. One room at a time. That way I'm not dapping or painting for 8 weeks straight. So, the front entry it is.
This is not an intentional two-tone fancy dancy effect. This is how yellow the door was and how badly it required a fresh coat of white.
The closet door was just as bad. Isn't it lovely now? I also painted that bench to prepare for the decorating. I realize this is a little backwards with the floor not done quite yet. But progress is progress I say.
What's especially nice about not having the floor done yet is, the cement sections are wonderful for those painting projects. I have NO idea how I'll handle all the floors complete. (but I think I can get use to it if I put my mind to it) The front door and mouldings got a blast of white too. I'm tellin' ya, I'm going to town here! Above that very long white bench, I have a unique idea for hanging up coats in a jiffy. But you'll have to wait for Front Entry Part 2 for that one.
See this sad little dresser? I scooped it up from a garage sale a couple weeks ago for a whopping $5.. But it needed a slight tweaking.
Ahhhh! It's all about white in this entry. Much better! The dresser will come in mighty handy for a key catch all/letter drop off, as well as wonderful storage for mitts and hats etc.
I guess after this paint is cured, it's time to work on that (gasp) floor. I don't think I can stall it any longer. Tile cutter got tweaked to perfection today (thanks Dan!) so I guess the neighbourhood will be hearing a lotta screeching over the next while.
Thanks for tuning in and not giving up on me here! I've been ever so busy having fun over at Funky Junk Interiors and working outside while the weather has cooperated. For a peek of the outdoor improvements..

Next up.. getting that coat idea on the go, setting up the rest of the room and then the completion of the tile floor. I know. A little backwards, but I have to have some fun before the real hard work takes over. (have you bought that?)
