I have decided to get rid of the "curio" cabinet in the hall, It just does not function well. Plus it just does not fit anywhere. It used to be a built in some place so it is old but I just do not have a spot for it. So I think to Free Cycle it will go.
I am thinking of asking MJ to make me some simple shadow boxes with Plexiglas fronts we can hang on the walls. For now the s&ps will have to be boxed up. This cabinet used to be a built in an older home...
I may try to find a different place for it, but we have too much stuff as it is, at least until MJ finally puts his office back in his office not the living room.

I also chunked the black (ugly) tv stand thing from the bedroom. Originally I was going to use it as a night stand but then realized, having that much extra storage next to the bed just invited more clutter... I detest clutter so.... away it goes. if I have my way the tv will leave the room as well...
I am thinking of using some aprons ladies have made me for curtains. They are lovely and I want to keep them however, they are 1/2 aprons and I only wear full aprons... I think they will look fun and cute draped across the sewing room windows... Well the 2 windows you can see anyway. They will not match, but I think I can live with that. I figure one on the top and one on the bottom, sort of like cafe style. I may even consider using a couple as wall art...
Tomorrow I will be busily finishing the rearranging so that my office space is really workable.
I will get the aprons hung, and clear out the rest of the free cycle stuff. Perhaps by afternoon I will finally finish that cute 50's apron I have been working on... for months...
hugs y'all
I love the idea of using the aprons as curtains!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how cute those aprons will be as curtains ~ and what a lovely way to utilize something that would otherwise sit dormant in a drawer or on a shelf.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to make matching curtains with them ~ if you can bring yourself to doing it ~ you could cut each apron in half, and then sew a piece from each apron together. Perhaps sew a simple little border around the entire curtain, and viola! Matching curtains.
Be sure to take some photos when you're finished with your office so we can see the fruits of your labors.
Love ya!
