If you were to come in our house, you would quickly notice some pieces that don't quite fit. They may look out of place right now, but I am a big believer in living with your projects and I am a woman with many projects.
Sure, I could wait to use this dresser until I paint it, but living with it let's me know if it works for my family. Having the item continually in front of me rather than stuck in a closet motivates me to get it done.
Here are a few more of our works in progress....
Shad got this tv stand at a yard sale for free. It's a great tv stand, and eventually I'd love to paint it. For now though, it's still a great tv stand.
Shad and I got this rough work table at Crumpton for $10. I have plans to sand the top and put wheels on it, but I wanted to live with it first. We love it, and it is a big statement piece in our kitchen.
We found these side tables on the curb. I don't know if I am going to paint them and use them as side tables or cut the legs and make a coffee table out of two of them.
Living with my projects lets me know if they will work for my family before I go through the trouble of working on it.
