$3 Chair

I bought a bunch of stuff from a lady who was cleaning out her mom's cabin. I got this funky chair for $3. I decided to paint it to match my craft room which is aqua, yellow, black and pink. I painted it with Krylon's Ocean Breeze and glazed it with some black tinted glaze I already had. It's a little rickety, but it will serve it's purpose!

Master Bedroom

I painted our bedroom a dark orange a few years ago. I never liked it. I finally decided it had to go! I've been really loving gray lately so of course I painted it gray! I am in LOVE! My hubby wasn't sure about it, but after it was done, he was in love, too!
I had also read lately about painting your ceilings. I was scared to. Now that I did it, I'm not sure why I was scared. It's so much better than boring beige! It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the ceiling is a lighter gray than the walls. It really makes the crown molding pop! The master is far from done, but I'm loving the change so far!

$2 Garage Sale Frame and Painting

I went to a garage sale and saw this frame for $2. When I went to pay for it, the elderly gentleman in charge, proudly said that he had painted it himself. Feeling guilty for only wanting the frame, I told him that I loved the painting and it would go great in my house. When I got home, I removed the painting from the frame and decided it would look cute in my beach themed half bath. Now I don't feel guilty and his original painting has a new home.

Bar Stools from the Recycling Yard

I got two of these babies that were destined to be recycled. They were covered in grease, dirt, and who knows what else. I cleaned them then sanded the seat and back rest. I primed and painted them with Krylon Bahama Sea spray paint. Then I distressed with my sanding block and glazed them. Much better!

Why a blog?

I want to be able to keep track of my projects. Kind of like my craft journal. I do so many different projects and thought it would be nice to have a single place to put them. I named my blog "The Unfinished Room" because I am always changing things, revamping furniture, and learning. So my "room" will never be finished.
