What I'm working on today:

Painting my free shit!

Picked up both of these last week on my walks back from the library where they were set next to dumpsters.

The plaster column was a dirt-smudged white originally. It's destined to be the plant stand for some purple heart that I'm currently rooting from cuttings. Might make it more fancy by painting some of the details in different colors, but for now this green will do.

The screen door was unused but has a little damage from where it had obviously been resting on damp concrete in a garage. Nothing major though. It's tall enough, but not quite wide enough to fit my back door. But! Easily fixed by adding a 2" board, which I have, so I'll be screwing that directly to the door frame and attaching the hinges to it instead of to the frame. I love this peacock blue I found while searching through all my oops paint for something suitable. The back door is a very deep purple, so it will stand out but still "go".

Imma use the rest of the quart of blue to paint the refurbished hoosier cabinet once I get around to that. I found some wrapping paper from Ikea in my craft storage that will match that I can decoupage the inside with. Plus I'm dead certain I have some fabric that will match both of them to use for the cat bed insert. Kinda getting excited about it--maybe I'll try stripping it tomorrow afternoon...
