I'm back! ~

I didn't go anywhere sadly. I wished I could have gone to the Country Living Fair in OH. Pictures looked amazing. I also wished I could have gone to Junk Bonanza in WI. I didn't. Pictures looked amazing though!  There is another Country Living Fair in GA which isn't that far away from my home in SC. So maybe I can go to that one. I just fear that everything will be out of my price range. But I think it would be fun to see different things, ideas and other people's junk.  I'll have to work on that one. Maybe drag my Mom along! Mom, get off the floor, it won't be hot, I promise!

Still trying to clean out the garage. Here is a pic of the "trying"

I pulled a few things out and painted them. I swear I did!

I painted this end table. It has only been in the garage for 2 years..

you like the dust on it? Dirt don't hurt!

That crud on the bottom shelf had to be scraped off. It was an old sticker.

And viola! Slate Blue Rust-O. I haven't used this color so much but I like it...

A little character building with distressing. Fini!

In the booth it went! It's very happy to have a new home, and I'm very happy to see it go.

I also did this little half moon table.

Nothing too drastic. It was already primed when I bought it (2.5 years ago) so I painted it Hyacinth by Krylon.  Again, a new color for me, but I liked it. I distressed it and green paint came through. Hard to see from the after pic, but there is green showing. I wasn't sure if I like it, but it grew on me and away it went.  I was saving this table for a project that never got completed. I wanted to attach it to a door and make this entry way door/table thing. Yeah, whatever, it's done and gone.

Tomorrow, I'll have the "after" pics of this wash stand..

I just have to paint the hardware and distress it and it will be done.

It has a terrible case of veener sickness. The veneer was actually burned in one place and had lifted up. This was a barn find last summer and I was scared of the veneer damage, but I fixed it and will show you tomorrow.

In the morning, I'll be taking pictures of all the great junk I have found the past 2 weeks. 

Great Ironstone, cotton scales, luggage racks, vanity stool, and more books! Shocking!
