Time To Start Some New Projects!

It's still technically 'WINTER', but the weather can be 
confusing! One day it's blustery, cold and cloudy,
then the next day sunny, cloudy with rain, 
then sunny, again, all on the same day! 

Cold, then warming up, and back to cold..... 
That's kinda how I've been feeling about 
tackling the many projects I have
waiting to be given a new life!
I've got a dilemma... 
Which one do I pick to work on first?

The vintage electric ironing machine base?
It's really stretching the imagination
and it'll need a major re-construction!
My idea is to turn it into a coffee/wine bar.
I already have half of the idea done...
I used an old window I picked up 
at the NE Junk Jaunt last fall,
 applied the lettering and
added the black checkered stencil
as trim at the top and bottom.
I think it'll look great on 
the wall behind the bar!

The next project piece has been 
around for awhile! I found this old door at 
the city's "Trash Days" 2 years ago!
I keep moving it to the back of the
 project pile until the right idea comes along!
When I saw it laying in a pile of debris, 
I didn't have a plan, but I knew
some great vision would come to me!
Any suggestions? 
I'd really like to get it done and outta here!

Project option #3...
These retro chairs caught my attention
with their unique curved wood seats
and scalloped detail.
While I do respect nice natural wood, 
in this case, I think painting these chairs
would make them more upbeat and appealing!
Maybe some 'Pop Art' to enhance the 
retro look would make them frivolous and fun!
 Pretty cool, huh!

Well...After some deliberation,
 and since I'll be staying home more
due to the current COVID-19
restrictions, I've decided to start work
on the chairs! It'll be a fun project!!
I'll keep you posted on the progress!


XOXO
