~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Hi everyone,
Well, this is what I've been working on, it seems like forever.LOL It's still out in the garage, Stush has to do more work on it such as cut out a place for a cord to go so you won't see it when I put a light on it also the bottom part with the doors will house my CD player and my CD's, I really can't wait because I've missed it since we got the flat screen TV, it's been put away:) So what do you think? I'm pretty satisfied with it... being it's the first big piece of furniture I've ever painted and stained. The pictures make it look lighter and I tried to take it with the garage door opened and closed but really didn't make a difference. I truley can't wait to decorate it:)

Here is a side veiw of it, Michele really liked it so I know it's nice:)

I really don't know if I should put a second coat of water down stain or not, I may try it just to see if I like the blue darker...I'm okay with the tan part.

Linda from Behind My Red Door helped me on this...thanks Linda, I would have just gone ahead and used the stain as is...I didn't know to water it down so the comment that you gave really helped:)

I've been picking some things up to decorate it with...I'll show a picture as soon as we get it moved in the house, I'll even show it before next Wednesday okay?

Remember this brass, pineapple candle that I got at the rummage sale? Well Linda helped me again and recommended I find a paint that would make it look like pewter and I did.Yesterday Stush and I when to Home Depot and bought paint for the livingroom and diningroom, hallway and yes, the entryway too. I'll be tearing down the wallpaper in there and I dread it but if we don't do it now we will be doing it in a couple years or so...better to just do it now is what I told a reluctant DH who said to me "you just put that wallpaper up!" LOL.


Here it is...doesn't it look like pewter? I was very pleased with how it turned out!!!

Sorry the pic is a little blurred but you can still see the name of the can of spray I used called hammered and it was $6.97 a can. When I saw how neat it came out I kept thinking how this could work on bowls, plates or what ever:)

Hey, this could even work on light fixtures too!

When we got home a package was waiting for me, Chris had given me an Ebay gift card for my birthday so I've been having a little fun on ebay. I won this neat grunged pillow with a patch even for out on the porchswing, I think , it's made out of an old feedsack and stuffed with rags:)

That's about all I've been up to blogging friends, if you want to see more stop by Leslie's My Country Home to see what others have been up too:)

Tomorrow I take Samantha to preschool, it's her birthday and she is so excited, she gets to hold the flag and is taking ice cream cups to school for her birthday treat and also gets to hand out the napkins...she has a thing about passing out the napkins.LOL

Have a great evening.
