DIY Weekend Extravaganza

This weekend went by super quick, but I had enough time to finish several of the DIY projects on my list. It will be hard to go back to the office on Monday knowing how much more I could be accomplishing at home.

Does this corner look familiar?
I posted this photo on January 18, 2009:

No more dead orchid perched precariously on top of a cable box, in turn perched precariously on top of a vintage television. It took just TWO YEARS (?!?!) to give this hidden corner a 21st century update. I mounted a new LED tv in the corner, then painted and ran a wire concealer down the edge of the wall to the outlets. Now I can watch tv from bed without getting a kink in my neck.


I also gave the 20 year old table a coat of fresh white paint. I'm planning a bit more DIY work for the table, so stay tuned for the final results.

Remember these yellow urns?

I thought the urns would look fabulous outside, one on either side of the balcony, with a pair of coordinating toss pillows. I bought a pretty yellow and white floral fabric last year, and finally sewed the pillow covers today. Not bad, this project took only ONE YEAR to complete. Now I am fully ready for spring weather!!

What did you do this weekend?
