Table

Before
After


Occasional Table

This is what the table looked like when I got it.....lovely right.  It's saving grace was that it it solid oak and I was moving into a bigger house and needed more furniture.
Here is the finished product, much calmer.

this is where it sits in the middle of two wingback chairs I am currently recovering. (Recovering is harder than I thought and taking much longer than I anticipated.)

Dining Table

Unfortunately no before pictures, it was all black.  Cute enough, but Emily thought it was time to lighten things up.  Hopefully she is enjoying this cheerful dining set.

Reading Lamp

Hailey needed a table to put her glasses on and a lamp she could turn off herself after reading.  This was my solution.

I love how the ruffled shade turned out.

Christmas Presents

I had a lot of fun making the dolls resemble the sweet girl they are made for.

Grace

One of my favorite things about Christmas is getting ready for it.  I usually make most of the gifts I give so that means starting early.  This year I started extra early and I'm glad I did these Dollies took a lot of time, but now that they are done it was worth it.

Coffee Table

I forgot to take a before picture of this one.  It was painted brown, I've had it for quite a while and not know what I wanted to do with it.  I finally decided it was time to just go for it.


I really love the yellow, it helped make my house bright and cheery just in time for winter.

After, I am loving the bright cheery yellow chevron!

Here is my new sewing stool.
