Table Re-do...

Hi there!! Sorry for the sabbatical, this is the busiest 4 weeks of the spring for me! Easter (oh wait, I promised table pictures!....can do!) then two weeks later, Mother's Day! yay! and then one week later is our big spring production for our Children's Choir....which means Saturday rehearsal next week and Sunday night performance...they are ready tho!!!!! I love being a leader for our Children's Choir....the hugs and smiles are the best!!! (and the ones from the children are pretty sweet too!! hhehehehehe, Love my fellow leaders, can you tell?)

Ok, in the midst of all of the overwhelming busyness of life in our home, I got the idea that my end tables were on my list for a much needed makeover! They were worn to the wood, too light for my liking and would just plain look better with our new flooring that will soon be going in if I updated them! Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

Here is a couple of before pics,As you can see, they are standard oak, shaker style end tables. You can see in the top picture that the tops of the tables were quite worn from years of use. And not a great color for me any longer.

They are sturdy and solid wood, so my frugal heart could not bear to garage sale them or donate them, so of course, I decided to sand, paint, stain, urethane and make myself sore from the many, many trips up and down the basement stairs!!!!

But victory was to be had! I sanded (alot!) the tops, and painted the leg portion of the table a light gray, and I LOVE the outcome!

And on another note: my Easter Table!

Hoping you all have a most wonderful weekend!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there!!!!

I will post a few pics next week on our Italian feast that we will be blessing our Mother's, Aunts and Grandmothers with at our home this weekend!

Kiss Your Momma!!!!! Let her know how loved she is!!
