Finally, A Spot to Blog! - take two

OK let's try this one more time.

Again I am really sorry about all this and I wonder if it was just something with that posts feed so I am reposting it again.

I am calling it day now and hopefully things will be normal again tomorrow!

Wednesday was a beautiful day!

The heat and humidity took a tumble and it was about 70 and sunny!

So, I was feeling rather inspired from a few projects that some wonderful gals had done and decided it was time to bite the bullet and try one of my own.

I am talking about a desk.

Anita from Going A Little Coastal made her sewing table from saw horse table plans at Ana White.

Love how she decorated the top, so inspiring.

Deborah, from With All my Heart....Deborah, and her hubby built this beautiful farmhouse style desk together.

So beautiful and I love the color that she chose.

So I grabbed all the scrap wood that we had.

Framed it all up and attached the top boards with fastener thingies that I had.

I attached a smaller board to raise the table up a bit but then later had to cut the legs down because it was too high.

Oops!

So far so good and it is even level!! :)

I had left over paint from the family room, Simply White from BM, so I used that to cover it in all it's lushes whiteness.

Added some treasures that I found in our basement like this lantern.

I gave this a couple coats of white paint that I had left over.

Stole some driftwood from the bathroom and some starfish that I had along with a glass bottle topped with a shell (I saw this somewhere in blogland and for the life of me I can't remember where now, if you know, please let me know) and a picture of my mom at Glen Lake holding her cat when she was younger. :)

Now I have a place to blog and talk to you all of you!

I can look out my window at the birds and feel the warm breeze come through our slider.

The chair came from my grandpa. I am told that he made this one along with another one that my brother has.

I painted it white of course and shabbied it up a bit.

I love this chair and now I can use it, not that I couldn't before but there was just no where to put it.

I was also able to bust out the jig saw again and start the first piece for my son's new shark room!!

I drew a shark the best that I could and cut him out like I did the whale.

God bless scrap wood! :)

I would say that he is pretty happy with it.

The cost of these projects = NOTHING!!!!!

woo hoo!!!!

Oh, I also wanted to show you my other whale the I carved from a solid piece of wood with my hand tools......

Just kidding!!

I got him at TJ Maxx!!

I love him!

I wish I could carve that but I am pretty positive that that won't be happening!

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!

It is supposed to be nice and warm and sunny here so I am excited to get outside again!
