Hello Lovely!

If you have been following my blog, 

you are probably catching on to the fact

that my Mom is amazing! 

Not just amazing BUT she also

is amazing at finding good deals.

While out pushing and elbowing gracefully making her way to the garage sale goods,
she found this little diamond in the rough:

Cute huh?? Very complimentary to the

shovel and the red wagon

wheel in the background eh?

I gave her a lil sandin'.

I had a stain tinted at Lowe's and used it to stain the top.

 I sanded between coats and added 2 thick coats.

After the stain, I added 3 coats of Polycrylic, sanding between coats.

I used water-based poly which makes clean up

so much easier.

I let it sit overnight. Then, I covered it with

newspaper and painters tape.

I spray painted the bottom Rusto-leum's

Heirloom White.

I FINALLY found Heirloom White

and it was on sale

for $2.98 a can.

 Yep $2.98!!

Oh YEAH!

(found it @ Home Depot of all places)

Also, while at Home Depot,

I purchased a new drawer pull.

It was silver but I spray painted it

Espresso.

READY?!?

Here She is:

I happen to {LOVE} her.

I really, really, really wanted to paint her with

a splash of color. BUT, because she will be going

in my space at Marketplace 3301, I decided

to play it safe. If by chance she does.not.sell,

a splash of color she will get!!

Have a great day!

Thanks for stopping by!
