Replies to Comments, and New Projects, Coat Stand, Headboard and Painting

 Been a long time since I did

a reply to comments so today,

here we go!

Let's start with Ann

over at

Ann's Snap Edit Scrap

Ann said this about my post

of the cat that loved to get 

in the fridge.

~The one cat I had years ago

 didn't know how to open the fridge

 but he did sneak in there once when I 

opened the door. I didn't find him until 

a few hours later when I went to the fridge

 again. He ate a good amount of 

cheesecake while he was in there.

SERIOUSLY? How was the 

cat, COLD? Sick from the 

cheesecake? My mouth dropped

open when I read that comment.

Terry over at 

Brian's Home ~ Forever

said

Hey, I have 4 that would totally get in the

 fridge if they thought they could

 get away with it. 

Okay Terry, name the hungry ones

that would get in the 

fridge if they could.

Liz over at 

Laws of Gravity

asked this question~

So, are you just shopping for yourself, 

or are you self gifting?

Hard to reply to a question 

like that when you are the

one brining in the dough

and purchasing things

for myself. If I want 

something, and I have the 

money, I get it. Buying 

for myself or gifting, 

sort of works out the 

same, don't it?

Over at 

Jim and Barb's Adventures

they love waffles!

I sort of figured that out

by this statement ~

Waffles are delicious!

Yep, but doing waffles

or pancakes, I rather 

have pancakes. The prob

with either is the syrup.

Since I had gastric bypass surgery

in 2017, I have been unable to

enjoy syrup and the bad

thing about that is 

the soggy and mushy 

of the syrup on the pancake,

is DELICIOUS!

Probably will not be making

waffles with my new

waffle maker, just other

kinds of meals with the

maker.

Before moving on, I want

to thank all you sweeties that 

commented along the line,

about my post being interesting, 

and fun.

Today is Sunday, and like

the way my life goes,

I am resting. I was out and 

about yesterday, Amber 

and I went thrifting. 

With that said, it's the day

after and the body is

wanting to lay around and 

do nothing!

The fun part, Amber and 

I had fun.

We drove to Nashville to 

go to my favorite 

Habitat for Humanity

Restore. I have not been

there in probably two years

and I have two projects in

mind and I was looking for

supplies.

I was able to find my supplies,

and the ride home was interesting.

I have a Ford Escape SUV but when

hauling doors, it can become

an adventure! We had to

slide the doors in on the sides

and through the opening between

both front seats, and they leaned

over Amber's way. She was squashed

a bit. It was funny trying to

talk around doors. I bought

two old doors.

One project with a door is

going to be my new headboard.

The next one will be something

like this~

I have this small table

I am not using and thought

this would look

so cute.

I might put a shelve on

top like the one

below.

The door for the headboard

is about 20 inches longer

then the width of my

queen bed, I can cut it

down, and since it is an

old door, it is solid so cutting

is doable.

OR

I can leave ten inches

hanging over the mattress and

install some sconces.

The way they have the

first headboard

hanging, on the wall, is not

how I am going to do

mine, I am putting legs on mine.

Got deals on the doors, they

started at 75 bucks each, but

a month later they were down to

33 something and a month later

22 each. I got both mine for 22

each. I sort of like the

paint peeling look, but pretty

sure it is probably got lead paint

on them, so I need to see if

I can seal them to lock that

lead away after they are cleaned.

Really don't wish to paint them

if I don't have too. Both

doors came with one side

having an old knob on them

and I think the one I am going

to use the the bed has an old

lock also. I will be leaving them

on the bed. Wishing I felt

like starting on them today.

But its already 1 and I have

been dealing with a massive

headache and body aches so that

is not happening. I laid around

all morning and finally trying

coffee for the headache.

OOPS......I forgot to tell you that

I brought home another

project also ~ I bought

two gallons of paint.

One is a sage green which I

plan to use in my back bedroom,

the spread and curtains have

that green in them. I will

paint the wall the bed is

on.

These pics were taken when I

moved in and of course I still

had not unpacked things.

Oh crap, this room actually looks

worse now!

All that is in there furniture

wise is the cedar chifferobe

that belonged to my granny, the

bed and my granny's table.

TV stand is one deck and

the tv for now is in my room.

Spring coming, it will be moved

out. Anyway, right now, where the

stand is showing in the pic, that whole

wall is covered with yard sale items

I have been putting there

for the spring. That space is full.

But with all that said, the full

space will hold the most

adorable little dresser and

mirror once I get it home.

My sis in law gave it to me.

Wow, did I really get off

topic, I showed the pics of

the room so you could see

the green...lol.

Back on topic, the green

wall will be where the

headboard of the bed is.

The other three will

either be antique white

or a light beige.

I have not painted in years,

I think the last thing I

painted for kitchen cabinets

at my house of 28 years and

that was in 2020 before moving

to my childhood home.

My body might protest

but, it might help it to make

me do more moving.

I say that cause, I think I

will be doing a lot of the

painting myself. My son in laws

dad is a professional painter and

has painted the inside homes

of stars like Wyonna Judd, I have

him coming to give estimate

for my living room cause

both sides of the room are like

this

Even if I had a ladder that

long to reach the top, I

don't trust my balance to

climb up and do that.

This is also the wall I want

shelving on once the

tv is hung. I want to leave

the fireplace under the tv

with shelves around it but

I think the problem is going

to be that the tv is wider

than the fireplace so in my

head I have been trying to decide

how to build onto the fireplace

to make it look longer. I think,

but don't want to do,

that I need a shorter, longer

fake fireplace. Just don't wish

to buy one. That is something

to ponder once the wall is

painted and Brayden (grandson)

comes and hangs the TV.

Did I mention that Amber

came home with project

supplies? haha....

I rubbed off on her.

The biggest problem with

that, Amber did not take after

me in being creative. The good

thing, it's just painting, and

yet the other problem, Amber

has only painted a room once,

YEARS ago, and I would never

hire her!!

Guess I will be helping!

Folks, sorry for the Loooooooog

post without many pics

but I hope you enjoyed being

in my head to see what I have

planned to do. AND

equally sorry if you

can't find your way

out of my head!!
