Hi everyone! Geez it has been a while since I have posted…time slips by me so fast, I can’t believe it is Thanksgiving already! I’m almost ready, I have to make a run to the store tomorrow for some last minute things that I forgot. For some reason this year I seem so disorganized, it just seems to have come upon me so quickly. I am ready to eat all of the fixin’s though, my mouth is watering for turkey! Yummmm!
I have done a few small re-do’s that I want to share with you. I had bought a small wash stand at a friends public sale last year, it needed a little attention, nothing structural, just cosmetic. I had it stored in the garage (where all of my projects have been sitting…waiting patiently for my attention) so I dug it out and brought it in, cleaned it up and wiped a coat of stain on and it turned out very nice. Below are the before and after:
Before:
Almost done:
Finished:
I just wiped a coat of English Chestnut over the entire piece and what a nice transformation. Thanks Kris ~Simply Prim, I read on one of your blogs about the English Chestnut…love the color.
I finished a tissue box that I bought quite awhile ago. I may change the bottom to more black..what do you think? Should I leave it as is or change it?
I painted it black and red on top, distressed and two coats of Briwax (which I love! Thanks Kath!) love the feel of the wood with the Bri.
Before:
After:
Do you think it looks like to much red??
I bought this child's hutch at the TS and love it, but I don’t know if I should leave it like it is or paint it, sure needs a good cleaning. The paper needs changed, should I paint the whole thing or re-paper and paint the wood? Looking for suggestions…help!! I wanted to get it finished before Christmas and decorate it but I don’t think I’m going to get it accomplished.
It is small enough that I can sit it on my mantle.
I also am starting this child's banker chair, I have it sanded (it was painted brown when I bought it) and I don’t know if I will just rub a coat of Bri on or paint a top coat to distress and then Bri. I’m still deciding on this one.
I have started my decorating. I have been reading the different blogs of to start before or after Thanksgiving. I have always waited until after T-day, but this year I have started early, I wanted to enjoy my trees for a while….time goes to fast! I put a small tree in the kitchen every year, so I have this one up (still tweaking though) I have a few more ornaments to put on yet. Sorry about the lighting on this picture…not a very good one.
I have my tree with lights set up in my living room, no decorations yet but we are enjoying it with just the lights. I hope to get the decorations on this week end….but the tree is up!!
I started to play with a few different things for the tree, every year I try to make it a little different. When I finish the decorating I will post pictures. I am very limited on space with having Dad’s bedroom in our living room so I only have half of the room to work with, that meant downsizing! I won’t have as much put out this year.
Last week was my birthday and we went for a ride..the weather was so nice, here I am in my glory…lol….
I love to ride. I have my license but I did sell my Harley, I wasn’t riding it much, I like to be a passenger so I can take lots of pictures and gawk!!! lol
I’ll leave you with one of my pictures from that day. Gods creations are so beautiful!!!
I wish all of you a wonderful and hearty Thanksgiving!! Eat lots of good food….Enjoy!!
Until next time…~Prim Blessings!
Hi everyone! Happy November! I have been admiring the moon these past couple of nights….it is so bright and full…simply beautiful! I was watching the local news yesterday and they referred to this moon as the “Beaver Moon”. I myself have never heard of this name, so I did a little research of Native American names and the meanings. November is Full Beaver Moon~meaning, this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm furs. Another interpretation that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter….burrrrrr! One other reference is Frosty Moon….cute name! There is a name for the moon for every month of the year. Do you know what December’s moon is named??? Cold Moon~ Fitting for December. I just found this interesting and wanted to share. I hope all of you are staying warm and cozy.

I am Thankful for all of God’s beautiful creations!
I am working on a few re-do’s and hope to be able to share soon.
Have a great week! Until the next time!
Blessings,
