Happy Old Door

I love old doors and I also love happy colors.  So I painted this old door this happy color of green.  (The other side is red so now it is reversible.)  Now I need some happy wreaths.

Boy's Bedroom update

Remember this room, this is what we started with



Then we added stripes to the wall

Here it is today, after new carpet and window trim

 The bedspread came from Down East

 

I found the ottoman at the DI for $10

$5.00 Door knob



Remember these, my knockers from the dumpster. See Here

Well the spring in our lock broke and our front door would blow open in the wind unless we used the dead bolt. 

So we took this lock set
 outside handle

 inside handle
to Lowe's and for $5.00 had it re-keyed and got four keys.  Awesome.  (okay so the lock is a different finish on the inside but so is my door, and I know how to spray paint.)

 Now we have this,


 (I really need to paint, don't I)

I am not sure what this lock set would cost but not cheap. 

Thanks Mike for dumpster diving for me.  That is how you know you are loved. :)


By the way, I have taken a huge break from blogging.  I have had a neck injury and haven't been able to lift anything heavier than my purse.  So the air compressor and miter saw were definitely out.  I am feeling a little better and hoping to get back to projects.
