The end of last year we picked up this coffee table for $16 at our local thrift store. It's really sturdy, I had a vision of it becoming the perfect entrance bench. It's so darn pretty I was torn when it came to painting it (not!)
After sanding the top, the top was painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, Louis Blue then I added this phrase that was cut using my Silhouette Cameo. The navy blue is...
Nope, not done yet but she's coming along! Wanna see a before shot? Are you sure, it's scary.
Isn't it welcoming? I have been following so many amazing blogs, many that have these gorgeous entrances that are white and bright. I yearn for that fresh, white, beachy entrance way!
Here's the stage we are at now ...
It's taking a little longer, there is tons of caulking to be done and another coat of...
Confession, I really hoped to have this done by now. Boy life gets in the way! I took a week vacation and got sick so didn't accomplish much that week. Then I'd hoped we could tackle the project this weekend but then Frank got sick. I just could not go back to work tomorrow and have another weekend with nothing done so I'll show you what I did get done.

I had been noticing posts from other bloggers with their Words but I really had no intention to come up with a word for...
I have been dreaming for a long time about having a business of my own where I can hone my creative side while creating things that people will love. I have a passion for signs and painted furniture. There are a lot of very talented furniture upcyclers online, and they have motivated me to stop dreaming of starting something and Just Do It!
We recently completed step one in the process which may...
I'll start with our tree - It took a little tweaking this year but I loved the final result of the tree. We made the change to a smaller tree last year and since we were changing we went White! The biggest addition this year was the Galvanized tub that we set the tree in. I was inspired by Donna @ Funky Junk last year and spent the year looking for one. I was so happy when one showed up at the...
When we first moved into our house I decided to paint our kitchen cabinets. I finished them in an aged white but I just didn't love the finish. Soooo in October I repainted the cabinets and I am so much happier.
I'll take you back to the beginning ...
This is our Kitchen on the day we moved in.
And this is how it looks now.
I do have a couple of things to finish still, I painted the brass foot rail...
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed 2012.
