Things That Make Me Happy…

Happy Saturday!

OMG… I did it. I finally finished restoring my console television cabinet, and it looks incredible. Fresh stain, modern TV installed, the whole transformation complete. This cabinet used to be my living room bar, but deep down, I always wanted it back as a working console television. I already had the perfect flat screen in my bedroom, so last night I stained the cabinet, and today I installed the TV.

The installation was definitely not a walk in the park. I had to rig up cables to secure the base inside the cabinet, then hook up every device—including the Roku. But everything turned out GREAT. I still want to grab some industrial Velcro to lock the TV in place a little more securely.

And on top of the console, I finally built my “Dream Set-up”: two CRT televisions, a Blu-Ray player, a surround-sound unit, and a digital antenna so I can pick up MeTV. I am SO excited and ridiculously pleased.

Now I’m taking a break because my back is screaming.

Office Honestly…

Happy Mid-week!

My home office is officially painted, trimmed, and even the ceiling is done — and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. It’s not “up and running” yet, though, because right now it’s pulling double duty as a storage zone for everything that needs to move into the bedroom, kitchen, new dining area, and living room.

Next up: painting and creating my new dining nook by the window in my oversized living room. I’m itching to start. I’m on the hunt for a deal on white, ultra-flat paint so I can dive in.

The dining area won’t be huge, but it’s going to be cozy, warm, and perfect for dinner, breakfast, or even an indoor picnic. I can already picture it finished.

And now… #The100DayProject wraps up in about two weeks. I’m going to miss the daily creative push, but honestly, I need a breather — a well-earned one — so I can decorate all the rooms in my palace that are already painted and waiting for their glow-up.

For now, I’m off to relax… and maybe squeeze in a few more home projects.
