and the list goes on...

My husband said to me today, "Your like a ping pong table!" He's right. I have projects going on all over the place! He was running out to Home Depot this morning and asked if I needed anything, bad mistake. I started rambling off a few things then asked if he could rent me a steamer to remove more wallpaper. He said "no, I have to finish all of my other projects before I can begin something new". I need him to keep me focused :)
I hope everyone is having a great summer. I'm enjoying the time with my kids. We've been opening some more boxes (yes, still unpacking) and finding places for all of our things. The kids get excited when they find more toys! I'm trying to clear out and organize our basement-this will take a while. The kids were busy with morning camps through July so we're looking forward to sleeping in and hanging at home. Mommy's looking forward to finishing all of her projects :)


I found this little table at an antique center a couple of  years ago. So cute but needed some serious help.
 I finally did something with it! 




I used Scotch Brite pads (rough, green pads) with Spray 9 cleaner to scrub this table down.
Sanded it a little to smooth any loose paint but wanted to keep the "worn, used" look.
Wiped down with damp cloth.





After the table dried, I sprayed it down with Rustoleum 2x-double cover white flat paint, allowing the rough areas to come through.

 

 
I will have lots to post in this next week as I complete each of my projects in the works!
Refinishing a couple of dressers, finishing trim in kitchen, Our "Where We've Been" map, a photo collage, darkening brass fixtures & fireplace doors...the list goes on and on.
