Month: March 2012

 

First, let me start off by saying I am far from an expert on painting furniture. In fact, although I have painted probably about 80% of the pieces in my home I normally just rush through painting them and skip steps and then always end up regretting it later.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! The weather was beautiful here yesterday and we had a wonderful afternoon with the girls at the playground. It was the first time we had really taken Lola and she loved it. I also got a few more projects finished up including painting an armoire.

Just wanted to pop in and say I hope you all have a lovely weekend and to wish Jason a Happy Happy Birthday!

I will be back Monday with some pictures of our family room and a new pillow!

Shortly before Christmas we got an e-mail from The Nate Berkus Show asking if we might be interested in being on a segment of their show. After pinching myself and wondering if I was reading it correctly I wrote back and said of course we would be and about a month ago we filmed a “House Proud” segment and then went to New York to film a segment in their studio at CBS.

Guess what? Today we are giving away one of our Ruler Growth Charts!

When we made our last batch one of them didn’t turn out quite as well as the others so we thought we would save it and use it for a giveaway! There is nothing wrong with it at all, but the wood didn’t take the stain quite as smoothly as normally.
