What I Have Been Doing

So... You may be wondering why I haven't been blogging. I am about to show you! I have found a love for painting and re-doing things. So, I have been painting and sewing a lot. Once I started painting things, I couldn't stop! I have a long list of project to do, but also quite a few that I have done and am in the process of doing.

My Sewing Table... before


and after


A sleigh bed I found at a garage sale. I forgot to get a before picture, but it was all white and was really scratched and dirty. After some sanding, painting, more sanding, and polyurethane... it is finished. It's all brown, but here is some of the detailing.


I haven't done anything to our dresser, and don't plan to. I just wanted to post a picture of it for those that wanted to see. We got it for free!! Can't beat that!


This table was $1 at a garage sale. It was painted white and was really scratched and the paint was peeling off.


I wish I got a before picture of our lamp. The shade was all white and the part that is blue now was a light brown color. I decided to spice it up.


This valance/curtain was just an idea that I made up. Not super original or all that cool, but usually I have to follow a pattern exactly. So, I was excited that I could actually come up with something myself.


This couch has dog hair and stains all over it. I plan to recover it with pink fabric for Mckenna. I haven't started yet, but stay tuned for an after picture (just to warn you, it may be a few weeks away, too many projects :) )


This one I am working on now... so hopefully this after picture won't be too far away



I am also working on a play kitchen for Mckenna and an end table/coffee table that I found.

This is my new found hobby! It's really not very hard either. Anyway, I thought I would show what I am doing since Devin is studying all the time. The End. :)
