Well. Hello there. Shock of the world, I actually still am alive. And yes, that is about the 936th time I've said that.
For shame! Why in the world have I let work, and well, life, get in the way again of my blogging? TEN DEMERITS!
Surprise: the china hutch has been completed and sitting in my entryway for a couple of months. Pictures to follow! How have you been surviving without knowing it's completion status?
Surprise: in the meantime, I have also painted (pictures to follow!) Alan's grandparents' dining table that we received when they passed away. We used to use it as a dining room table with the leaves in (we'll put it in the kitchen sans leaves), but it got replaced by this beauty. Alas it's also been sitting in our garage for a couple of months - painted white, but not poly-ed - so now it needs another coat of paint thanks to...
Surprise: I bought another dresser at Wonder Store (which, side note: seems to be upping their prices a bit) and used Alan's grandparents table to hold my project supplies while I rehabbed the dresser. Did you follow that? And let me tell you, this dresser looked like it had been sitting in someone's moldy basement and had been a residence for a rodent type. However, it's found a new life with some sanding, painting (silver metallic spray paint! Yippee!), and well, just cleaning in our living room. Pictures to follow!
Best Surprise: I had such a kind, sweet thing happen today: I received a comment from someone I don't know (Dana!) regarding my tufted ottoman post. Now, folks, this has never happened before. And frankly, I've been so terribly sporadic in posting, I didn't hold out much hope for hearing from people I DO know again. But it's just fun to "meet" other bloggers and to follow the trail of getting to know others from the comments you (or they leave) on some of your favorite blogs. She found me from this blog, which you know I love. The beauty of this is, her blog is also right up my alley, and I would be remiss if I didn't pass it along to those of you out there who are DIY-ers and/or have interest in design. And if that's not you, go check it out anyway because she is about as cute as they come.
Stay tuned. Please?
You are the sweetest!! Thank you so so much for that awesome introduction and link to my blog. You have just made MY day!! :) Looking forward to seeing more of your DIY projects! :)
