~Whatcha Workin on Wednesday~

Wow, the weeks just are flying by aren't they? Here it is already Wednesday , the "over the hump day" I used to call it when I worked outside the home:) It's raining here in Southwestern PA. but to me still beautiful outside.
Okay, here is what I've been working on...my main bathroom is small, typical in an 80's ranch style home, you know, toilet, vanity and tub! So I've been looking for a small stand or shelves to put extra toilet paper in and have it between the tub and the heat vent, then I spied this at Goodwill and the wheels started turning:)
It was used to a store vegetables, there was actually onion skins in the bottom part:) so for $5.00 I thought if it doesn't work out I'm not out that much and I can always resale it. I took off the vegetables that were wired on... cleaned it out then proceeded to take off stickers that were all over the back of it. Why they had stickers on the back is beyond me.lol

I'm thrilled with how it turned out, fits perfectly and holds that extra toilet paper roll great. I'm looking for something prim to put in the second shelf, on top I have a tea light holder I figured that if it gets knocked off it won't break.

Also put the cat ornie on there!

My daughter and I traded shower curtains, she has my navy one and I took this one until I can get the one I really want!

I also took the drawers out of the cabinet I have above it and redid them, It just bugged me everytime I looked at them that they weren't distressed enough, so I got that done! You can see some of the picture I have of my little ones all together in the bathtub:) Also put some old bottles in the top part makes it look even more prim I think.

This is on my china cabinet, my friend from St. Louis sent me it one year for Christmas and every morning I light the tea lights in it, makes me smile because my computer is in the corner right next to it:) The picture of Sydney is when she was almost two on her first Halloween as Elmo, the other two weren't here yet, I always bring it out for Halloween... hard to believe she is now in first grade.

Here Lauren, at Simple Blessings, is how I've primmed up my china cabinet, over the white dishes that I got at a yard sale for $15.00 I've put some wooden plates, my Rowe pottery plate and even a sampler I've tucked into a corner of it. I sprayed the handles and knobs black, next spring I'm going to paint it black also the light fixture. I haven't told Stush that yet so I'll suggest it to him sometime in March!

I've also worked on the cat and basket that I found last week at Goodwill, here's a picture of them before...

Here she is after I spray painted her black then tied some twine around her neck, I think I saw this on Pam's at BasketsnPrims, sorry blogger won't let me add the link of their blogs to mine for some reason.

Here they are all together in the basket that I painted and distressed and stained, I just love how they have all turned out, I'll keep adding to them, I want to eventually find a bigger basket for them.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful, productive day! Be sure to check out Leslie's at My Country Home for more blogs that do "Whatcha Working Wednesday". All the ladies I've mentioned on listed to the right under my favs, don't you just love blogger sometimes?:)
