New Look... and some profjects

As you will see over the next few days...
I am trying out some new looks.
Trying to decide what is easier to read.
:-)
Don't know about you, but when
the blogger has trouble reading,
can only imagine how bad it is for you.
Please feel free to let me know what you like best!!
Thank you in advance for your help!
Changed the color background to a blue texture.
Hope this helps!!
 
Now for the projects.
I have two to show you today.
One is the after of the little side table mentioned
in an earlier post...
 
Here is the before...


 
and now for the after..
.
 
up close of front
 
 
the cute little table
I painted it with homemade chalk paint.
Used some black paint to be the undercoat,
then used Vaseline over that,
mixed my chalk paint,
Tbls. of unsanded grout with about a pint of white paint.
Didn't like the white, so I took some
of my yellow crafts paint and tinted it just a bit.
Love how the color turned out.
Then made some homemade Chalkboard paint,
and painted the top.
Just in case the grandkids decided to draw.
LOVE IT finished!
 
Now for the seconded project...
It kinda goes with this one mentioned above.
Cuz I used the same paints lol.
 

 

 
Little dresser..
Turned the top two drawers into storage,
and removed the top, putting it back on with hinges.
 
 
Added the cute little décor to front and top
 
 
I liked the black on the front, but on the top was to much black,
so I added some white...
 
 
Now I love it!!
 
Hope you enjoyed my little projects.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting!

Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day,
I know mine has been made much brighter
with your visit. :-D
 
 
 


WOW!! Finally Back!!

I am so sorry to all that had read my blog.
Short story, lost laptop...as stated before, found my blog on the desktop, desktop crashed...
So now I have brand new laptop. SO here goes!
 
 
Lots has happened since the last time I posted...
but I want to say the most exciting thing is
that my youngest daughter had her second child!
And has moved home... not necessarily in that order...
Here is a picture of our newest grandson!
He has a big sister, and two cousins to welcome him home!

The older girl and boy are the cousins
Younger girl is his sister.

 
They are all the joys of being a NaNa!
Let me just tell you it is wonderful having them all back together
so we can watch them all grow up together!
 
Thank you for letting me brag...
 
I will post one more picture, before I leave today.
It is my latest painting.
Where I daydream of walking...
Hope you all enjoyed the post.
Promise to post some of the other things I have been
doing while not able to get on my blog.
Thank you!
Hope you have wonderfully blessed day!
