2013... 2nd Project done.....on the "dime"


Recovering my old recliner was my first project for the year...almost on pennies...(one little problem with the chair...I have discovered that I have at least two quilting pins stitched and covered in the chair...have to cure that problem soon).
 Now it is on to the 2nd project.  Redo the bath.  Too bad I did not remember to take a pick of the before.
Most have never seen my bathroom before this...I had hand painted large sunflowers, assorted flowers and you pee-ed in the trees.  I guess that reaching 60 makes you want a more mature, simple and cheap bathroom.  And I managed this on $47.00.  $32.00 of that was towels and a rug!   I always shop Lowe's discount area's.  Paint..mistint..1 gallon $5 and I only needed half (even with covering trees).  My handles on the cupboards I bought a few years back..checked out with a couple and found that they were priced at $.09 a piece.  I turned right around and bought everything they had.  My drawer knobs were $.35 a piece...discontinued items. My glass tiles were packs that had been opened and pieces missing for only $2.00 a sheet.  Repainted my old mirror.  I kept it very simple...not many dust collectors. And all my baskets and accessories are thrift store finds.
