-Reupholster Chairs: I have a set of neat arm chairs that were given to us a year ago. I have one completely ripped apart and ready to go but I have to get over my fear of calling an upholsterer and asking if I can buy some foam. It sounds easy enough but I have a fear of getting phone-chewed out.
-Paint the Stairwells: The base paint that they use on the walls in new home also acts as a magnet for greasy fingerprints. Enough said.
-Make reusable produce bags: I posted about these bags before but I REALLY need to do this! They are awesome!
-Make reusable snack bags: The awesomeness is overwhelming!
-Build this desk for the bedroom nook: We have a distinct lack of furniture in our bedrooms. While I would like to call it minimalism it really is just lack of resources. So, off to the lumber yard! Maybe this can be Andrew's spring break project?
-Maybe if we get really ambitious we can make this headboard?
-Wallpaper the powder room: Does anyone have any suggestions for a place to get nice wallpaper that doesn't look frumpy? I am a huge fan of wallpapering small spaces.

I love so many of these ideas! Might just steal that headboard idea...
As for the wallpaper, I'm a fan of getting the embossed wallpaper that's meant to paint over. I think it looks clean, but adds interest because of the embossed patterns. I think it would be fantastic in a small space!
Sounds fun! Lowe's and HD have some nice wallpaper in stock as well as ordering. Benjamin Moore in E-town has a whole bunch of catalogs that you can order from as well.
I've seen your chairs and they will be so cool once you are done. Go for it!
Love that headboard. Love knock off wood.
Thank you for sharing the produce bags. I had never thought of that! And my grandma gave me a stash of the very same fabric that I didn't know what kind of bag to use them for! Sweet!
Good luck w/your projects!
You inspire me! xxoo Mary
