A lil update :-)

I am so sorryyyyy

I have been totally neglecting my blog :-(

Which is so sad because I love doing it!!!

I hate to admit it but it is easier just to post my 

updates and pics on my

Sweet Sweet Simplicity 

Facebook page....

Shame on me!!!!

Anyway here is a little update.....

A good friend of mine gave me a table

a little rough around the edges but I love it and the fact that a good friend gave it to me makes it even better

so Most of my projects I redo and sell this one I am keeping

YAYYYYYY

The top was badly damaged so I will not be able to stain it

I will be painting it black

This beauty is all sanded and ready to be painted

(which i did this weekend...Woohoo)

I ordered the chairs and 

the were delivered today

So excited to get this put together :-)

All finished and loved it so much 

I kept it for myself 

(which is rare)

Painted Cowboy bootsssss.....Who knew :-)

Soooooo I just received a crazyyy cool special request custom orderfrom a return customer that had purchased a couple of signs from me (Thanks Becki <3).....Readyyyy for this?!?!?!
Check it out....she wants me to do a custom paint job on a pair of her favorite cowboy boots (which made me a nervous wreck...they are her fav's what if I mess up?!?! EKKKK)....she is leaving everything up to me...colors and all except....she wants checker board on the toes and on the back of the boots she want one to say Rebel child and Mama tried on the other!!! SOOO EXCITED....I added a couple of cool ideas

My favorite words....CREATIVE FREEDOM smile emoticon Sooooooo I am beginning to think my customers think I can do just about anything...From a princess castle bunk bed to custom painted boots.....I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Dresser made into a bench....

Ohhhh how I love taking a piece of furniture that was going to be discarded and making something

totally cool out of it!!!!

Sooooo before throwing that piece of furniture away...

take another look at it

orrrrrr

give me a call ;-)

Teeheehee

BEFORE

Took the top off

 Cut the entire top section out to allow for bench area

leaving the two drawers below

A friend came over to pick up a custom order sign I made for her 

here's her sign...haahahaaaa

and 

she was asking what I was doing with the dresser 

and before I could even finish telling her

she said

 that would be perfect in my soon to be newly finished entry

 I'll take it

She picked out her fabric and the foam 

Dropped it off 

AND

WAAAALAAAAAAAA

<3

Here is the progress so far

still need the top of the side and back and then 

this beauty will be ready for 

Cathy's entry way...right on top of that beautiful hardwood floor her

loving husband just installed for her

aunt and uncles 50th wedding anniversary :-)

Castle Bed...

So if you follow 

Sweet Sweet Simplicity 

on 

face book 

you would know that I am making a castle bed 

(and see all the progress pics)

for 

Princess Brooke

Ehhhhhh probably 

(it is...let's see how much hair I have left in this head of mine when I'm done ;-) i kid I kid)

the biggest project I have taken on

BUTTTTTTT

Pshhhhh I got this

Here is the basic look we were going for....kind of but not really....haahaahaaha

(I used the Ana White Castle bed plans to get the basic purchase list

...and to get me started

http://ana-white.com/2011/10/plans/castle-loft-bed....

Just an FYI this bed will look nothing like Ana White's)

Lots of changes AND additions are being made as we go along

and some before I even started....Adding stairs and a slide

I am friends with the lady that I am making this for and have 

ehhhh pretty much the same taste as her 

(She has many...manyyyyy of the pieces I have made in her absolutely gorgeous home)

So we are working together to make the changes

One change we have decided is to change the entry....

Stay tuned for that change this weekend

here are a couple of pics of the progress so far

Making the templates for the decorative tops on the castle

When done we will decide if painting or wallpapering will look best

This weekend will be a super busy weekend getting this project moving.....

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT COMPLETED!!!!!

UPDATE.....
