Lesley's Table

My first client projects table of 2014 actually started in 2013. I try to tell my clients that I am slow. This particular client said it was worth the wait. Bless her and her patient self!

It was a family heirloom and so of course that made me paranoid I was going to mess it up. But after I finished and delivered it, I was kinda proud of it.

Stripped the top and got it ready for stain. 

I didn't take a before picture, but the legs didn't get stripped since they were going to be painted. So that is the color we started with. 

Applying the stain.

My helpers. 

One chair has dark wax and one doesn't. I think it added just the right amount of something different. 

Delivered and in place!

Yellow really is growing on me.

2014 is hopefully going to be a huge year for us. We are signing up for a lot of shows and working hard to bring y'all more photos and projects. Stick around!!

Celebrating Baby Josephina

A few weekends ago I helped through a baby shower for a dear friend. Pashe' and I have been friends for a decade. She was there for all my big life moments and I was there for hers. I love this girl to death and I am so glad that I was able to throw a baby shower for her Baby Girl! We did a shabby chic theme and celebrated in style! Here are a few shots from the shower.

Where the gifts were to be placed. I should have taken a picture after everyone arrived!

Cake Table.

A shot of some of the food. 

Sign in book! So Baby Josephina can always remember who came to show her love before she was here. 

Another shot of the cake table. 

Mason jars and paper straws! Of course!

We had a glass canister to serve the water out of but it succumbed to the abuse I put it through. So we made water in plastic bottles look good ;)

I had such a good time showing love to someone who has shown it to me first. I love you Pashe' and I can't wait to meet Baby Josephina!
