Today after Spring cleaning, the hubby began on the sanding of our first project while I am making dinner. It is coming along MUCH slower than I had hoped, but working 60 hour weeks leaves little left. But, it is slowly beginning. And that makes me excited!
I've decided that I want to completely change the decor and furnishings in my home and that I need to learn how to blog. So... this will help me do BOTH! I will take pics of my home as it is now without any of my ideas and dreams complete. As I refinish furniture, re-purpose stuff, and change things I will blog it and show "after" pics. I literally have NO CLUE what I am doing in either department... blogging or decorating, so it should be an interesting journey!

Kitchen/Dining Room
This is my starting point (thanks to my amazing "new" table) and I am currently stripping everything from the walls and plant shelves above the cabinets in preparation for painting. I forgot to take a pic before I took down everything and made it look bare. :( So here is my currently empty kitchen... it will have to serve as my "before" pic
My first project!
Here it is... my first furniture to distress/refinish. It is an amazing piece; 6 chairs, one bench, a large leaf, 100% solid wood, hand crafted, well made, and VERY heavy! I cannot wait to finish it and get it moved into the house and out of my garage. :)
