Still wanting to make some pillows, but it’s close.  The counter from before, after I (and the scrub water) fell off of it when it broke off the wall disappeared.  First of all, who knew it would hold one foot of this not so petite frame?  The wall then needed painted.   I stood staring at a green, a beige and a red.  Of course, the red won!    Last night I finally got this lamp that I have hoarded  saved put in the space. Now to get rid of the small lamp.  I also need to thoroughly clean the bookshelves, but that’s for another day.  These have been my work counter projects for the last three work days.   I think I am stocked up for awhile.   

Ok, these are some raw before photos!   I bought this chaise along with several van loads of furniture.  I loved it as soon as I saw it but wasn’t sure where I would put it.   JWS put a stop to the idea of having it in the family room.   I then figured it would go to camp, but that was going to take some cleaning.   Then the idea hit. It never ceases to amaze me the ideas he has!   This area was initially my paint room.   Seventeen years ago!  As girls moved out and got married, I got moved to spare bedrooms to paint and then eventually clear out of the house.   JWS took over this area with a treadmill and made it somewhat into a closet... And it has been a catch all junk area.   It’s time to reclaim, refurnish and CLEAN!  So, raw before pics are necessary.   Follow along as I decorate and make this a fun little reading corner!    All suggestions welcome!!!
