Post It & It Will Get Done

I know, it's a weird title for this post.....but I had an idea (which can be scary sometimes LOL). Well, my idea was..... if I posted some of my To-Do List items in their "Before" state, I would be encouraged to get them done and share the "After" photos with all of you in Blogland. Nothing like putting a little pressure on oneself to inspire me to take an idea to a finished project. Of, course I don't know if this is really going to work, but at this point, I'm willing to try anything to get my To-Do List completed. I know it would get done, if only I worked on the projects a little each day......but have I mentioned that I procrastinate a little bit when it comes to actually completing a project. I mean, I have lists and lists of ideas all over my house. Every time I see a new item someone has created in Blogland, or in a magazine that I want for myself, I add it to my list. I have even gone as far as buying the needed supplies to complete these wonderful craft projects, but sometimes that is as far as I have gotten.


So.............here are the "Before" pictures.

These three adorable little wire cages with the fleur de lis on top caught my eye when I was at Crafter's Warehouse on Monday. I was there just looking around, when I spotted them. I convinced myself that it was okay to buy them as they were on sale at a ridiculous price I might add :)

A close up of the cage, it has a finish very similar to a galvanized pail.

Two little shabby birds were also on sale. Only two styles or I would have bought more.

Wooden shabby finials that will be used in a project involving the antique door shown below.

This amazing late 1800's farmhouse door I actually salvaged from a pile of barn wood. The owner of the property decided to tear down both structures and a friend of mine thought I might want some of the barn wood. While digging through the pile of barn wood, I spotted this beautiful treasure and knew instantly what I wanted to do with it. This will be my project to work on this weekend.

It has the original wood carvings on the front. It's missing the window, but that is okay with me.

Look how pretty this little rosette is :)

Until Later,
