Refinished furniture

-



Alrighty sooo I don't have a full BEFORE picture ... but this thing was a pain in the butt! In the end it looks amazing though....so I started staining it with a grey I though I liked and well I didn't so I had to start from scratch....I resanded every little nook and cranny 

And I finally found a product I liked!....

This is called cape cod gray...I put in on with a a thick brush and small strokes, 


And this is what the garage looked like..needless to say nick was pleased


I was finally done and excited and stain was EVERYWHERE...
side note always put down a protectent for the floor
(rooky mistake).

Then my amazing husband helped me put on all the hardware afterwards

The table went from a regular table to an ottoman type table because we wanted to be able to store blankets and stuff in without trying to stuff it in those tiny doors, plus the cabinets are deep and it was just an easier option for us.



 Finished product!
 And the side tables.

I painted the hardware with 
Flat chestnut...I love the contrast and the way it sparkles with the light hitting it.

Next project...we got this from a random raffle we decided to enter at our local grocery store..we said sure why not and we both entered not thinking we would win but we did both of us..so we got two of them and gave one to Nick's uncle.  Well this sat in the garage and just collected dust and spider eggs!  I mean who really drinks labatts?? gross! Soooo I decided lets paint it.




This color worked perfect....It needed a few coats and a day to dry but it looks pretty...I'm thinking I can put some dirt and some flowers in there but since we plan on moving soon I might wait until we get to the new place to do that..



Instead we can put some ice and some drinks in there when we have a bbq!


This is another project I started yesterday


It's a pain to sand because it has a lot of nooks and crannys but I think for my idea I have in store for it will all be worth it! 

Stay tuned!

Hospital Bag!

   Well our bags are packed and we are ready when ever this little guy is! It's 38 weeks and I've changed what I've packed about 20 times, but I think I've nailed it at this point. We only live like 15 mins from the actual hospital and once little man is born Nick can always come back home and get what we need if anything.  I only planned for like 3 days at the most, keep in mind EVERY hospital is different with what they will and won't supply you with, especially dependent on insurance too. So ALWAYS check with your OB and hospital prior. Diaper bag So first up let's talk baby items. My hospital provides the following: Diapers, t-shirt, blankets, hat, socks, pacifier, swaddles, and formula. Almost everything you need for a baby to go home with. What i'm bringing.  Clothes: 2-3 Newborn outfits 2-3 --0-3 outfits Only because we don't know how big he will be and what he will and won't fit into. Accessories: 2-3 swaddles 2 pairs of socks Newborn and siz...

New adventures!

Hey All! I'm starting a new venture this year! Lots of new things going on for me and my husband already! 1st year of nursing school down! So excited my passion for helping people and saving lives and well underway! This new venture is a perfect opportunity to help doing so with the battle of obesity.  Today I signed up to be a new Beachbody Coach! Pretty excited.  Not everyone knows but I struggled with weight for a while before I joined the Airforce. Pretty sure it was my eating habits one year my metabolism basically stopped. I've always been small and petite and exercised but usually ate whatever I wanted.  Not the best of ideas.  I went from 105lbs to almost 150lbs. This was not just unhealthy but it was depressing and I just kept eating all the time.  I literally tried everything! I went to the Dr. because I thought something HAD to be wrong with me.  I had all the tests done and everything was clean.  So I worked out I ate hardly anything ...
