Finished Project

The tables are finally finished and in their room! The room surely isn't finished however we are getting there! Can you believe I made them...start to finish?! The hardest part was getting them up the stairs by myself. *sigh* The room eventually will have sort of an americana feel to it. Not THEMED...please no...don't think I meant themed...just sort of americana.




Note: Kitty's name is Kitt. Any ideas who named him!? Ohhhh another blog idea...introductions will be posted sooon!!

Before & After

Before: Ewwwww! Plain!

After: Awwww! Vamped up!

Ok can you see it?! It says FAIR in wooden black block letters! Hung by black wire with little scraps of fabric tied to the wire! Cute, eh?!

Projects in Progress

I have been spending my mommy time in the garage handcrafting a coffee table and end table for my bonus room! Although the bonus room has been a bedroom a few times we have finally settled on making it another family room with dual purpose as a guest room. So far we have a couch in there and soon to purchase the loveseat with a sleeper in it.

Please, please, please do not look at the clutter in the background! My poor husband cleans his garage everytime he comes home and everytime he leaves...I mess it up! Hehehehehe!

So here are the tables in progress. The top is comprised of reclaimed barn wood that I retrieved for FREE off of CL!

I love the distressed worn look so there is a little paint missing here and there. The bottom is made up of a bunch of 2x4's that were laying around in my garage. They really needed to go away...so I thought...I'll make some tables! Waaaallaaaaaa!

There will be barn wood on the top and a barn wood shelf across the lower 2x4 braces. Eh?!!

I've suffered a few minor injuries making these tables and I'm starting to think that I shouldn't use power tools. Its not even safe for me to use a hand sander...nope. Certainly not.

I will be sure to post the finished product...soon!
