New Project

My neighbor's favorite question every time she sees me outside is "what kind of project are you working on now?" She says every time she talks to me I've got something new going on. That's because I'm always outside planting or painting. It's always something.....

So, since Laura keeps asking me, here's a few pictures of the project that has kept me extremely busy for the last few days. This was my biggest project yet, and Jeremy was VERY skeptical at first, but he's coming around. I'm so ready to get this completed that I can't stand it. I have literally worked day and most nights on. In between building, I've managed to squeeze in a Pampered Chef party, church work day for campmeeting in two weeks, services all day Sunday, and full day of work Friday and today (Monday). I'm hoping that tomorrow evening this time I'll be able to post the pictures of my completed project. Actually, I would still be working on it, were I not waiting for the caulking and a coat of primer to dry right now.

This is for Addison's room. She didn't like the idea of change at first, but she's also coming around. I found this particular "idea" on a search for a daybed, and this particular one cost approx $800. I saved the picture of it in our picture folder in the computer and spent weeks figuring plans. It's been a great experience watching the ideas come to life.....however, it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but personally, I love it.

To add a personal touch, you will see one side of the bed is white at the end. The white end is actually a dry erase marker board. The other end has a chalkboard. There will be room at the ends of the bed for her to have a little creative corner.
