Welcome to August ~

Where oh where is this year going?

I thought I would have the finished pictures of the china hutch today, but sadly no.  This has been the most frustrating project.  I can't wait until it is finished and out of my head!

This was me tonight:


From the terrible first paint job, the bubbling paint from the heat, and re-painting it.
Painting the hardware and having it separate, stripping the paint off, and repainting it.
Then tonight, I went to re-attach the hardware and can't find the screws.
I usually put all hardware in a plastic bag and label that bag according to the project.
But somehow, I lost the screws.

All the more frustrating when the piece you are working on is not at your house where all your supplies are. So you try to load up what you think you will need, but when you miss something, it just stinks.

So it is still unfinished until I get to the hardware store and replace the screws.
ARGH!

However, this field of sunflowers are still blooming and always makes me feel better!








Not everything always goes smoothly, but I still love re-doing furniture and knowing at the end of a horrible project, you have a great looking finished product.

Look for the finished product tomorrow! (I hope)
