Chilly Weather...a Project Finished!

There is just something about chilly weather that makes me want redo my furniture!! Maybe because FINALLY it is not 110 degrees...and I can make a mess without sweating!! Here is my Gramma's lovely Maple table that I have been NEEDING to refinish for years!!! Oh so hard to stain something instead of paint...BUT I did it!! And I LOVE it!!! I stained it a dark walnut...goes so well with my Hoosier...I am really glad I did not paint it. Here it is!! It is a HUGE drop leaf table that I pull our for the holidays!
And...did I tell you that I think I decided to have a Blue Christmas??? So...I painted my coffee table turquoise (still in that I can't show you stage) and I think ONLY a Blue Christmas will do for my living room. So to get in the mood...I painted this aqua Merry Christmas sign! It was made using a salvaged vintage dresser drawer...and I just found this yummy vintage snowman artwork! I LOVE him!!!! This sign will be available in my Etsy shop...just as soon as I can get it in there!
Oh...it is getting dark...off to a big pot of chicken noodle soup and cheesy bread!!
Happy Wednesday everyone!!!
