Honing In

I'm officially 4 months into blogging and starting to get the hang of it!  I've still so much to learn and SO many great ideas out there.  I really get inspired as I look at all of the virtual eye candy.  I have to resist the urge to stay on my computer and remind myself to tend to the priorities in my life; a husband and 4 boys!  But, I have truly loved sharing my passion with everyone!  I have had many comments on what paint I use, etc.  I apologize for not getting back with you on that!  Like I said, I'm still learning and can't figure out how to comment back to you!  I just post to myself; which is a lot like me as I DO talk to myself quite a bit!

Here were the projects from this week: a table with French script and a sign for Thanksgiving.  It's still too hot here in Texas to decorate for Fall.  I can't bear thinking about going into the attic when it's 90 degrees outside!  So, one "Thankful" sign is all I have up at this point.



And now that I've been selling some finds, I'm starting to hone in on where my passion lies...I love to paint typography on furniture!  It just seems to have so much more flair, funkiness and adds another bit of dimension to a piece in my {humble} opinion.   Here are the before and after of a recent coffee table makeover:

{Sorry about the levitating table picture!}





Until next time...

  12. Welcome to Blogland!!! What a beautiful job on that table! I love the script and the distressing technique you used on it. Are you going to post a "how-to" on how you did your table?? :)

  18. I am just getting started on doing a coffee table. I have painted it with ASCP, old ocher and distressed it. Now I want to put a word on it. I enlarged the word at Kinko's and got some graphite paper at Michaels. Now I have to get to work on the transfer. Any hints would be appreciated.

    All the best,

    ♥charlotte
