Productive weekend

Okay, its been a while since I could say that I had a productive weekend from the moment I woke up to the end of the day.

With the help of my parents and my brother we turned:

This dresser which we got for an amazing bargain because is didn't have a top and there are some nicks and scratches on it


Plus

This hutch which was another amazing bargain because of the scratches and the fact that the bottom part was missing


Into this!


Add a few plates, some candle sticks and crystal glasses, turn on the lights inside and viola!


That was Project 1 in the Kitchen/Dining area.

Now, onto another area . . . the loft.
Take a pile of books and a blank wall . . .


Add a few shelves, a cube organizer, and a small book case and you've got yourself a nifty little reading/exercise room (we haven't put up the exercise equipment yet)


(sorry about the photo. Blogger wouldn't accept my full panoramic photo, so I had to cut it in half).

Plus, Michael and I went out to get a new router and modem. Very productive day.

Can't wait to see your new home sometime! The "china hutch" looks fabulous. What a clever thing to create out of two pieces. The loft looks neat also. So happy for you.

Thanks! We're almost ready to have guests over. Just a few more adjustments and we're good to go!

Melissa, Congrats on your own new home! It is very exciting time. Lucky for us, ours was just renovated so not too much work, but we do need to fill it with things:) It is lots of fun, and very expensive!
