Furniture Remodel

When Jen and I moved into a 5' x 6' room in our sorority house, we quickly figured out that the two of us were pretty great at working all sorts of crafty projects together. Creating unnecessarily tall piles of laundry and distracting each other from any sort of studying were certainly at the tops of the list...what? talking for hours on end takes some sort of creativity, folks. :) Since then, we've recovered cushions, sewed things, built things, cooked things, and even started a few scrapbooks here and there! The last item is something she's run with while I gave that schizz up looong time ago.

hmmm...i'm thinking that scrapbooking was simply taken over by blogging. is this my digital scrapbook?

Anyway, when jen needed some help refinishing their dining room table, I was all over going over to help.
Hand sander action - i totally LOVE power tools.
so smart to use keg cups for smaller tasks!
another jen tip: throw a paper plate under your gallon of paint to prevent spillage.
looks grey-ish, but it turned out pure black ya'll....v.classy.
super warm that day in the country!
pepper + bailey were nice enough to share the backyard with
hudson and little molly...prince was there too, but apparently camera shy.

i think of the blog as replacing scrapbooking too ... thought some things, like a baby scrap book (or wedding?) i can see as better being hard copy, so it can be passed down. i don't know how well these blog pages really print out, you know?

who are molly and prince again?

nice skills with drills [or sanders] ladies!
