A New Adventure...

I've been trying to get my house in order...I think it's coming along nicely. I've mainly been painting everything in sight, like this old mirror...

and this old little cupboard (love this color!)...and...I've decided that it's time to turn Shelby's room into my official studio because Alice and Elsie is growing...(or at least I hope it is...)
I've been working the same job for 16 years, I used to absolutely love it but now I'm really just burnt out...so...Tom and I have been working on a few ideas that will hopefully allow me to cut down on hours and eventually quit altogether so I can once again do something that I absolutely love! I've got the ball rolling and am busy doing all my homework and applying for all the stuff I need to have to operate an "official" business in Minnesota. I'm a little anxious and a lot excited about this, it may not pan out but I'll regret it if I don't give it a try. I'll tell you more as soon as I feel that it's a little more "real" ...so...if you don't see regular Trash to Treasure posts or my Etsy store goes empty, you'll know why! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Trash to Treasure Tuesday #7

This week's trash to treasure project is something I've been wanting to do since last spring. We found this adorable little table/desk at a garage sale for about twenty bucks. It was in terrific shape aside from the water marked and worn finish. We orginally bought it thinking it could be Sebastians "art table" since he's always doing his thing at the kitchen table...well it's been a full year and we still haven't managed to migrate him to this space...
I decided on a nice antique white satin finish...it's Glidden Quiet Light to be exact. I put on three coats to make sure it looked pretty... And here it is all finished sitting nicely in the family room...
I love the antique hardware...

Do you think we can get Sebastian off the kitchen table now? No, you're right, probably not. That little project turned out so well I decided to paint this little cabinet pink...Benjamin Moore Soft Cranberry...
Wonder what I should paint next?
