Happy Birthday!!

Well you know you are a project-O-holic when you ask for tools to help fulfill all your project hearts desires.  I got a staple gun, an awl and needle nose pliers to help in pulling out staples and two clamps to use when using wood glue.  So, pretty good.  Having a few good essential tools can make DIY projects much easier and enjoyable.  Next I would love to get a sprayer!

The Zebras are coming!  Okay, so I love animal prints...but classy not the cheesy kind.  These chairs are also FOR SALE!  Chairs have been a great way for me to start out learning how to upholster which I was totally terrified of doing until now.  I am still nervous to do a full chair or couch but I will get there soon!  Having a good staple gun is key which I don't have...Does anybody have one for sale?  The air compressor kind?  Let me know if you do.

Coffee Table Mania!!! So, these two tables are FOR SALE!  I love this pea green color and the blue ocean breeze and both are antique glazed with black..who could resist...the antique glaze is so fun and makes it have so much more dimentsion and the color pops...I used to be afraid of color.  No more, not me! I am on the color train!                                                         

New end tables for the living room

So I found these two end tables for only $20 total...this was my first project of this project spree I am on.

Yo this is my second blog....

So, this is different than the other blog that I let fall to the wayside...I don't ever remember the name cause who needs a blog when you have facebook, right?  Well, I decided I did want a blog again cause I wanted a better format to spill out all my creative juices onto.  Facebook is slightly inhibiting in that way.  So here it goes.  I will confess that I have always been a projectiOholic, all my life.  However, recently I have begun project after project and can't stop.  It is such an outlet especially since becoming a mostly stay at home mom who has tendencies towards depression and sitting and mindlessly watching hours of TV.  So, I decided to get off my butt and do something.  I realized that I love refinishing furniture.  It started out as a way to brighten up my drab living room.  My friend refered me to a blog allthingsthrifty.com and I was totally hooked from that point on.  I also love vintagerevivals.blogspot.com.  I hope they will repay me for those plugs someday but they probably don't need the favor anyways.  I will attempt to dazzle you with my creativeness and hope that you appreciate and give me feedback.  So, here are some pictures of the following recent projects I have done.  Just to name a few...You gotta start somewhere, right?
