In my idea file, I’ve had a couple pictures of monograms on walls. The idea has been there for years. When we moved into this house, I thought a monogram would be perfect above the bed. I was overwhelmed with other stuff and had a clock that fit perfectly, so I went with that.
Angela asked for advice on decorating her bedroom. As I was perusing the Pottery Barn catalog, I saw that they had monograms available. I suggested that Angela could also go to a sign company and have them make one for her. Jen so nicely offered the suggestion of looking on etsy.com. Now, I had heard often about Etsy, but had never jumped over there to take a look. I’m not sure I should have. That is one cool place!
The timing was perfect, however, because two certain little boys managed to destroy the clock hanging above my bed. I decided to purchase this monogram:
You can’t really tell in the picture, but it is chocolate brown which goes nicely with the brown suitcase and dressers in the room. I also could have gone with matte white. I think I would have prefered matte brown (this one is glossy), but I love it anyway. And it is another project done!
I have also been wanting to have a sign made for our driveway. Something really classy that reads, ‘Mt. Hope, Established 2006.” It is still on the to-do list (maybe by Christmas), but check this out:
There was a bare space above the coat hooks in our entry that just needed ‘something.’ I have a very bad habit of wanting to fill every bare space. Need to get over that one. However, this is one bare space that bothers me no longer: 
What projects are you finally getting around to?
