Looking ahead to the Holiday season and all the extra packaging that seems to come into our homes around that time of year, I’m hoping that this knowledge will save a few fingers from having to go to the ER for stitches!.
For the hinges, I just made a template out of cardstock and traced it roughly where I thought hinges should go.They’re supposed to look like old barn doors, so I didn’t worry about being too perfect with anything.
But then, I never do!.Sammy took one look at them, hopped up on the dresser, and died from the sheer awesomeness of this project.. Just kidding.I did have to poke him though, just to make sure.. We do plan to replace all the doors in this room eventually, but for now, why not have some fun and do something a little different?
Overall, it’s a great next step in the right direction.And did you spy my little secret in Sammy’s mirror?.
The rest of the room is almost done being painted as well!
I’ll show you that soon!It’s pretty bad in here.I can take no credit for it, but Chris really should teach a class on making all those angles line up on weird crooked old walls.
I love that we were able to keep what we liked that was already there and then add in some new stuff and have it all look good together too.. We ended up using all furniture that we already had, so that made things come together pretty easily and made it not such a big deal to spend all that money on adding more and more trim all around the room..The crib was Kennedy’s 8 and a half years ago.
I thought about painting it, but decided I still really like the look of the wood on this one..I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to get a glider for in here later on, but for now I really like the look of this navy blue rocking chair that I stole from outside..
