Happy Tuesday, everyone.....I normally don't blog on Tuesdays but I have been out of town a lot. It's summer and I have it off, so we (me and my husband) spend it up at our cottage about 2 or more hours away. It's located on a little lake that our kids have learned to ski and how to build campfires. So when the grand-kids aren't up there I have been a little busy doing some redoing....This old table was a redo. I really think its feminine and girly. Here is the before picture:

So I got busy. Had this can of oops paint and thought that pink was just the right color. I put a coat of kilz on the table and than painted it with the oops color which looks, I think just right. When the table was dry it still needed a little bit more attention, so I had painted gold on just the edges. but when I was done I thought it wasn't enough. So I painted the whole lip of the top and bottom of the table. I also painted the stem of the table the gold and brushed some gold on the feet.

I finally was satisfied with the end results. It turned out to be a sweet and feminine table, just right for a girly room. What do you think? Until next time, Dianne........

Happy Monday! Hope your doing well.... I know I've said it before...but summer is just flying by. We spent last weekend with friends cruising the sand dunes along Lake Michigan and Silver Lake. We were able to drive our truck onto the dunes and explore the area. I'm telling you, I've never seen anything like it. There were dune buggies, jeeps, 4X4 trucks, 4-wheelers, and other off road vehicles cruising around these dunes. These dunes look so serene and beautiful from across the lake and it's not until you get in the middle of them that it's another world. My son was in his glory watching vehicles cruise up steep hills, jump the dunes, pop wheelies and etc. It was quite the experience...I have to say I was a tad bit nervous that we were going to get stuck or collide into another vehicle. We camped near the dunes and had a great time. My son absolutely loves camping....getting to sleep in a tent and spend every minute outside. The weather was absolutely perfect....seventies and no bugs. Just awesome!!! Hope you enjoyed your weekend as well.

Anyways, I have a rocking chair make-over to share with you today. I found this chair off of craig's list awhile back. It has been sitting on my front porch for about a year now. The finish has worn off and it's starting to look a bit ragged. So, I decided that I would try and spruce it up. Here's the before picture of it.

I gave her a cleaning and then sprayed a coat of primer and then a couple coats of yellow spray paint. Here she is finished. It took me awhile to get used to the bright yellow....but it does look better. The color just pops from the road.
