A Lovely DI Find

Found this beauty at the DI for 20 bucks today. I was drooling at it but it was in someone else's cart. In the corner of my eye I saw them putting it back and walking away. I tried not to run...maybe I did run a little....and snatched it into my cart. Did I need a entryway table? Not really, I already had a long black bench that works great. It is the perfect size, shape and price for my living room though. Now I need to decide whether to paint it or leave it alone. I'm leaning towards painting it a pretty red because it kind of blends into the beige wall. Now how to justify the purchase to my hubby?

A Bed Fit For a Princess

Last Spring I started the project of refinishing an old bed for Sophia. Well, it's finally finished 10 long months later. 2009 was a very hectic year for us so I'm actually surprised I even got it done at all. My poor child was sleeping on a mattress on the floor....she really *needed* her princess bed finished. Here's the before pictures:

It needed a lot of work.

Four coats of paint, three layers of top coat, and many hours of buffing and sanding later...

And Daddy built new sturdy rails for the princess.
