I MADE IT....without my hubby!

Shanty2Chic is having a party! I LOVE parties and this seemed like just the party to get me blogging after taking the summer off and working on projects! :) Check out all the others or join in on the party here:



So what's my project you ask? I built new doors for our faux fireplace/entertainment/extra seating/etc....hehe....AND painted it!!!! I didn't take before photos :( BUT I still had one of the old doors...here... UGH SOOOOOO FLIMSY!!!!

Yup that is right... just plastic and suuuuper thin wood...that is also the color the whole thing was...WAY too dark for my tiny place!!!

And the reveal....

ahhhhh... much nicer! so thicker wood... beadboard for the main part ... and the top...of course its burlap! YUMMO! Because hiding behind that burlap....Cable box, xbox, wii...ETC! shhh don't tell anyone...And don't worry... because it's burlap... the remotes still work ;) Here's a close up of that:


Oh you want to see the whole thing huh? well ok....

There are a few lonely things thrown up there for now... just took down summer stuff and have slowly been putting up fall/halloween...And ignore the things in the foreground... told you place is SMALL... couldn't get the whole thing in without getting coffee table stuff...cute purse though huh? :) Here's the upper half... with the beautiful art err... TV :)


I'm still not completely pleased with the antiquing I did...I have never really antiqued such a light piece before...so will probably do some adjusting and still have to do sanding... but the main work is complete :) I LURVE it!!!

Thanks for visiting!
