Catching Up

I've officially finished the bathroom remodel (KL put me on a deadline so she could regain control of the TV in the toy room- which was unplugged to charge drills and run the extension cord).

The only "crafty" thing from there was a refinished mirror. Much like the medicine cabinet, we had one on the door in a wood finish that needed to be changed to black. This one was easy though, just a little sanding and then painting- viola!
Before:

 After:

Also, I may have an addiction to making hair bows.
Here's a few that I've completed recently:
Homecoming week included a school colors day, which meant orange and black bows, which I found I only had one ribbon of each color, so each girl got to choose points or loops (KK chose point and KL chose loops):

Then I made these because I had a rough week and crafting is my outlet. I just took a look through Pinterest to get a few ideas and here was the outcome:

Here's a close up of the flower, just because  I think it's deserved:

Other than that, I'm working on Christmas gifts so I can't post those yet. But once I finish the current project my next is just a skirt for my daughter so that will be post-able.


That's all for now,
Jo!

Medicine Cabinet

I told you I was working on my first refinishing project and unfortunately I don't have a before photo but here's where I am now-

I need to buy new knob, but I haven't found what I want yet. 

(Please ignore the mess in our "3 seasons room" it's been where most of the remodel magic has been happening- mostly because it's indoors during disagreeing weather and easy to shut the kids out of.) 

Here's a few in-progress shots: 

 This is how the back looks after covering it with chalkboard self-adhesive vinyl paper (because that was the only black I could find). If you look hard enough there are a few bubbles, I should have sanded a little for better adhering but I think it will do just fine, especially since most of the bubbles sit on the outside edge which is covered by the cabinet doors.

This is the small mirror side. Originally I was going to keep the frosted glass but you can see the tape I used to protect it from pain removed some of the edge- so I went ahead and removed it all. (Which is a really simple process, it just takes a little patience.) 

That's all for now, 

Jo!
