Not much sewing but lots of house projects this week. Here are a few pics of the almost finished guest room.

The oval pictures show my grandfather in his World War 1 uniform and one set of great grandparents. I found the vintage night shirt long ago and always wanted to hang it on a wall. This felt like the perfect room. I do need to find the perfect vintage hanger though. This one is not right. My lovely DIL bought this picture frame for me.

The picture shows my paternal grandparents on their wedding day in 1922. I would like to find a vintage looking headboard yet but will wait until I see something I really love.
The doll bed project has been more of a challenge than I expected. It will definitely look distressed when I am done…..or maybe that is how I look working on it. I sanded forever and the stain looked like this:

Yuck. This morning I decided to spray paint the whole thing. I used what paint I found in the garage. I will probably knock it back with sandpaper yet. Still not happy with it. And I thought that would be an easy job!
I’ve also cleaned the freezer, cleaned several closets, mowed the lawn, and a number of other mundane but necessary chores. So much more I want to do before the hubby gets home tomorrow night but I work 1-9 today. I better get moving!
