Hello! Happy Monday!  How was your weekend? I find it’s definitely easier to swallow a Monday when it’s a holiday. My commute this morning was a breeze :)

I wanted to share some of the projects I’m currently working on.  The most exciting of them all is this 6′ campaign dresser I bought off Craigslist for next to nothing.  I still can’t believe I fit the entire thing in my car! My husband and I decided to upgrade our commuter vehicle to a Kia Soul after having rented one during our trip to Chicago last spring.  We fit SO MUCH in that little car, 8 giant suitcases and 4 adult human bodies.  I was beyond impressed.  I’ve packed my car to the brim a few times, but this dresser is quite an impressive feat.

So, what will we do with the dresser? I envision it landing in our nursery, but my husband thinks it’s for our bedroom.  We’re planning to move to our own place in April, so for the time being we can use it in our bedroom, although in my opinion it would make for the most perfect dresser/changing table.

Next, I’m in the process of re-upholstering a pair of mid-century swivel chairs.  They are currently upholstered in a gross vinyl that also smells mid-century.  I’m thinking they’ll look adorable in velvet.

The third project I’m working on is almost complete.  The adhesive I used needs extra time to cure, so it’s just sitting and hardening in my garage right now.  This project was fun one.

My husband’s on a work trip in India for the next 9 days, which means I’ll be occupying myself with these projects to pass the time.  He left on Saturday and I already miss him, so I’m hoping if I keep myself busy the week will go by fast.

So, how about you? Are you working on any fun projects? Is your husband away on travel too? What do you do to pass the time?
