Table redo

I feel like I’ve WAITED SO LONG to finally post these pictures.
Here is my completely redone $12.00 table.


A little distressing with my medium sanding block by 3M did the trick.



This new Behr paint and primer was amazing! After sanding down my table, It only took two coats to give this table a clean shabby chic finish. After allowing my paint to dry I took my sanding block around the edges and roughed things up a bit. Next, I took the advice of my fav. craft bloggers and used Ralf Lauren stain in Smoke, just to give it a vintage looking finish.

ALl in all I'm excited to have this new piece in our little apartment.

Gotta love half off saturday at Goodwill

After a full year of searching Goodwill for treasures, I finally have a success story to tell. This past Saturday (50% off day, which they do every other week) I struck gold. Not only did I find a cute tv stand but I finally found a coffee table too. Two deals in one day. LOVE IT!
I promise to share my furniture redo as soon as I find my camera. Its a bad time for Nick (that's my cameras name, because its a canon) to go missing. Please come back Nick. I miss you :(

Samples

Yesterday Jeff and I went to Costco for our favorite lunch time treat, a hotdog and soda for only $1.50. Like everyone else, we love walking around and checking out all food samples. With the 4th of July weekend approaching there was SO much food that we ended up only getting a drink because we were so full. Needless to say, Jeff is now an even bigger fan of Costco.
