Last week it felt like spring here...
now all I want to do is go cuddle up
in my down duvet and read!
It is so COLD again!
The cold makes me move slower
and I don't feel like going out
to my garage to work so I am
limited to smaller projects
I can bring in the house...
where it is W-A-R-M!!
So here is what I made today
out of a piece of scrap lumber my hubby
dragged home!!
I am happily working through this pile of wood
and now I need to decide what else to make.
Does anyone know of a good website
with lots of vintage advertising stuff on it?
I am liking the vertical lettering on this one
and it would fit nicely in a corner or
on a skinny wall like this one between the windows.
Anyways, I snapped a photo my two sidekicks
who were napping on the couch.
They usually travel from room to room with me...
especially the little brown one who is named Mocha.
The big white one is Gabriel...Gabe for short!
It's good to have friends to talk to when painting
otherwise I might to a bit batty!! lol
My darling hubby picked up this sad looking coffee table
for me today. She seriously needs some TLC but on the
heels of yesterday's project I think
it can be done!!

The top is solid wood so she can handle a good sanding.
The legs...well...I don't feel the love there yet
but we'll try a coat of paint before I make the final call
to replace them with something a little less chunky!!
Oh well... for now it will be nice to have a table to
put our feet up on while reading!

All for today... time for
homework with the kids, scouts, and then bedtime.

Thats Edmonton weather for ya - arent we lucky - today was COLD but i heard its supposed to get nice again soon so thats good news - i love today's project - did you have a stencil or did you just paint them on.
ReplyDeleteI think a nice white paint job on that coffee table will make a huge huge difference - the legs might look less chunky in a lighter color - i look forward to seeing it when its done!
Gorgeous pictures! We hopefully just had our last big rain! Im ready for spring!
