Easter

We had a pretty good Easter. The food was amazing as usual. I ran to old navy and stocked up on some tanks and stuff before heading home to do lesson plans. I feel better now that they're done but the Sunday evening blues have hit me hard. I accomplished a lot this week and I know summer is right around the corner. I wanted to share a few things I've painted/distressed so far. I can't wait to do my table. I may start the chairs next weekend. The first is a shelf that I literally pulled from the side of the road somewhere. It was the first piece I did and was relatively easy. The second is an antique radio cover that my grandma gave me. My family has tons and tons of old furniture and wood from my great grandmas house so there is plenty to work on.

What I've been up to

I'm thinking about getting back into blogging again for about the 100th time. I haven't been successful so far and my life is pretty boring. Today (Easter Sunday) makes 4 months without my brother and I don't know how long it will take for holidays not to suck so bad. My sweet great aunt came and gave my house a major overhaul. I got new furniture and curtains for the living room and I no longer have miscellaneous crap in the guest room or office closet. I went with bonded leather because it's so much easier to clean. Faith sheds a ton for a pit bull and the bonded leather doesn't scratch.




I'm working on refinishing my dining room table and chairs. All of my furniture is espresso colored and I've had it awhile so it's time to paint and distress a little so everything isn't so dark. I broke down and bought a pretty nice sander so that should make things easier.
