Another before and after.......and my "beach" wall

Tweet

I have been meaning to post this pic for awhile and keep forgetting...story of my life! Does anyone else "forget" as much as I do? :)  I bought this awesome little table from a garage sale last summer for $4.00! $4.00!!! I moved it to the  side as I continued to shop and people continually wanted it....the lady in charge kept having to turn them away from MY table....you know.....it was MINE! OK. Sorry. Anyway...she told me they used to have it in their ANTIQUE SHOP and it was from the 1930's or 40's I believe....anyway, I loved it. I knew paint could fix this baby right up!

So....I painted away and then I sanded. And here it is....this was taken at Christmas, hence the lights. :) And please ignore the dust/particles of whatever under it. This is my reality folks. If I try to take pics when all is perfect, I will never get a picture taken. :)  Anyway, I love it!

And while I am at it, I wanted to show you my BEACH wall, which is where this table sits now. In the picture, I have a bench I LOVE under the pics but have since moved it to the foot of my bed. :) I am sure at one point it will be here again. :)

We have had beach pics made with the boys every year since they were born....minus two or three for family things/emergencies/issues. I treasure these. To see how my family, and how my boys have grown, blesses me every day just passing by it. These photos used to be upstairs and I didn't get to enjoy them near as much. Much to Mr. KKP's dismay, I moved them...again. :)

One more item I purchased at that garage sale......this baby........lovely, huh?

She will be once I am finished. :) Stay tuned........off to continue celebrating with my middle son who is 14 today. I will post the memorization verse for this week later. ~Hugs~

Linking to this party..............................

Some before and afters

Before.....about to give up. :)

After...better. :)

Bench......

ahh...better. :)

OLD Goodwill 7.99 magazine holder into this.........

beautiful, new scrapbook paper holder. :)

One of our biggest projects....beer top table......here she is before

Grouting, then adding the MANY caps!

Beautiful.....

Wiping it down.....

And then comes the resin. This was the kinda hard part. :)

WE love her!

Remember these.....I think it was 1.00.

Birthday gift for my friend Jane. :) Cork at the top and then a chalkboard at the bottom.

I loved this table...the shape, the bottom...but NOT the fruit and the yellow.....so I decided to paint her.......

This is the bottom.

After three coats of primer, two coats of black paint, and a couple of coats of polyurethrane......we really love it.

Perfect for my craft room......didn't have to do too much.

I just added some numbers and sanded them down a bit!

My husband gets credit for this but i just had to show it.We had iron railing which we love, but just wanted to have a temporary change.....something different.

Hmmm........reclaimed fence. "What can we do with this?", my hubby asks me as he sees a fence being taken down in the front of the neighborhood and asks if he can have it. "Sure, we will even deliver it to your house!" Perfect! (I am sure they thought we had lost our minds. I mean, why wouldn't they want to give us the wood they were about to take to the dump???!!)

But, my hubby had a vision, so with the boys help, he got started. It  is built on the outside and it is not connected so we can take it down when we get tired of it.

It looks great. It changes the whole look of the upstairs/house. 

Rhett and the boys very proud of their work.

What is so cool is that this is the other side.....the darker wood is turned to the upstairs side and we are going to put up all of our "signs" that used to be in our basement in Ohio.  LOVE it.

So there you have it. My list of things to do is getting longer and longer but my first priority is to finish painting my son Chandler's room. I can't wait to show you the pics. :)

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
