She said it would happen. “You need to move that wobbly tray stand or it’s going to fall over.” That was Giggi talking, and she would be right. I grabbed the only thing I could find to hold a tray to use as a makeshift coffee table. It didn’t last long!
After I finished re-working the piano top (see previous blog—I don’t know how to link to it yet!), it was time to tackle a chest and two table tops. I actually worked on them all at the same time, swapping out one item for another. Here is the painted table top, at first.
I liked it pretty much but something kept bothering me–too much, too ‘messy’. I decided the sheep on the left had to go. Now, much ‘mo betta’.
Next was the table coming in our front door. My husband’s keys and cell phone usually land here, so it has to have some function as well look nice.
Last was the chest in the corner. The jury is still out on it, but I ran out of time, energy and creativity (and it was too early for wine!)
The point is that this was ALL stuff that I already had. By re-grouping and editing, I not only let go of a few things, but I also got some new ‘landscapes’ to look at.
The most important thing to remember—JUST DO IT! Don’t be scared. You can always change it back.
