Hello, my name is Morgan, and I don't finish things.
I'm a total sucker for thinking of myself as a jack of all trades, fixer upper, 101 projects going on at once without breaking a sweat; where did I get that crazy idea.
Right now, my garage sits with only a quarter of a roof. I started it last week.
The hole I dug three months ago to patch my foundation crack has yet to be filled. I dug a 5' x 4' hole in about a hour and a half, not bad aye? Filling the hole? Um yeah...
Don't get my wife started on the work I need to do in the basement. Forget about it.
On top of my house, which, in all truthfulness, I haven't been too bad getting the ball rolling lately; I have literally, a couple years worth of furniture/vintage projects clogging my brain waves. I'm at a emotional/visual/monetary, do or die moment with a lot of this stuff .
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!!!
So I'm challenging myself. Roof and hole are asap, but they're kinda boring, the fun part of the challenge will be some of the vintage projects I've gathered around myself for the last couple years. Did I say some? Maybe more like twenty...
With the upcoming Vintage Bazaar(woot woot) I've been doing inventory, and I'm ashamed, flipping ashamed about how many chairs I bought with good intentions but never got around to them. There's also about six lamps and two fans, but I have a long history of failure with the chairs. I really love chairs. Especially wood chairs that have ripped upholstery, or one broken arm, or just a frame of a chair. For years I bought them off Craigslist and at estate sales, vowing to fix em' up, but they would just stacked up in our apartment basement. Now with a house they have been all over the attic. Last night I bought them down into the basement to start work.
My secondary goal in all of this, is to offer all my current projects finished and beautiful to my customers at the next Vintage Bazaar, but my main goal is to make this a regular act in my vintage circus I'm putting on for all you lucky people, maybe even start designing and building my own furniture...
My plans for some of these pieces are maybe a little too grand. I'm determined to use real leather for the upholstery. Is this hard? My wife is a seamstress extraordinaire, who has promised to help with the fabric and leather ordeals. We shall see.
Below is my room of projects, hover over each picture for a description and some idea of what I plan to do.
