Game Chest REfurBisH!

Got sick of the weather not letting me finish some of my projects around the house, so I attempted one inside. So I got out some garbage bags, my paint brush and paint and went at it. I was suprised at how mess free it was especially being inside, in my bedroom, and with 2 kids running around. What was I thinking and...how pro am I? lol Only two coats and about an hour and a half later I finished.
Isn't she a beauty? I totally need to be better at doing before pics. Oh well, maybe next time.
So it was like a medium brown wood before my famouse green paint. I promise no more big furniture in the green paint. It's just so fun I can't help myself
.
Doesn't it match my bed spread so nicely? Love it! Ok so I do have to wait to do my other table til a nice outside day...and no kid distractions....so we'll see how soon i'll be able to pull that one off! :)




It's a Partay!

We were able to get together with our Crist family two times in one week! How fun is that?


First for Mother's Day, thanks to all the mom's in my life whom I adore. We then celebrated with a great dinner...Yum Yum, the food is always good at Rog's Aunt Serena and Uncle Jeff's house. Maybe it's cause I don't have to cook it all! Lol Second cause it was Grandpa Duke's Birthday. Aiden and Lindseys Great Grandpa. All of us playin a sweet game of volleyball. Ah yeah...we are pro!
This is the famous Great grandpa Duke! Happy Birthday, we love you and hope you have sooo many more. The Chef of the get togethers. Uncle Jeff, you sure can BBQ a mean hamburger!

The boys playin a round of basketball while waiting for dinner to be ready. Must have been a sweet shot by the looks of the picture! lol

Auntie Brinley stuck entertaining Lindsey! She loves to swing, when Lindsey wants to swing she points and says "weeeee" until she gets what she wants. Thanks Auntie for being her friend!

Aiden and Lindsey's first time on a trampoline. Pretty much hilarious. Aiden would only jump when no one else was on it and got nervous and wanted to sit down whenever somone got on. Lindsey wanted to jump so bad but was so scared. Maybe we need to get them out more! lol



All in all we have such a great time each and every time we get to hangout with our Crist family. Thanks guys, WE LOVE YOU!

THe PrOjecT!

RefurBish!


Most that know me know of my HobBie! I love to RefurBish...ReFurbIsh....RefUrbiSh!!!!!


This particular project was a long process. It took me a good 8 hrs to finish. I loved every minute of it. Before the makeover the table was stained a dark brown along with the chairs. After a good sanding, prime, paint, sand again, and then glaze my masterpiece was done. I love the way it turned out. When I would tell people that I wanted to paint my table green you should have seen the faces I'd get! lol




The next step was to put new covers on the chair cushions. They were a dingy white..ish color before. I chose the fabric then the paint color so I'm glad it turned out and was definitely a risk worth taking!
LOVE it! My next project is our computer table, so be sure to stay tuned for that!
