I love the colors, but it may be too small for the couch....and not practical.  

the ottoman we have now stores blankets.  Hello Rylie Dog!  

Just goes to show that butter makes everything better!  xoxoxo

I can now park the van in the garage.  Mission accomplished!

Busy, Busy, Busy.....

After getting over the jet lag of my trip to Spain...I finally got around to a few pieces.

My catalyst is my sister/brother in-law.  I promised them a table for their Lake Mansion.

Before...

The top had this ugly laminate..so I just tore it off.  I wasnt sure how that would look...but I sanded the top just a bit...and left it rough around the edges....kinda like me....

Now look at her!

OK, so I know you are wondering how the chevorn pattern was made.....

I did some internet searching and I learned about this:

It is normally about $14 a roll, but the Lowes in Franklin had it on clearance for $2.48.... so I purchased every roll they had.   And....I LOVE....IT!

 Here is what I did with this little coffee table:

I chalk painted it white (Swiss Coffee, homemade chalk paint).

Then eye balled the measurements.  It is really easy to work with.

The you just paint over it...

Then, while the paint is still wet, you just carefully pull it off!

Taaaa Daaaaaa!

In the upper right corner, part of the white came off...but I am going to distress it and use some dark wax on it...so it doesn't matter.

I also painted a desk...but I need to finish it before I will post any pictures.

I have lots of furniture to be painted..so if you are looking for something, or if you have something you would like painted...let me know!
