Projects




So I did these over the summer. Something I could work on at home that didn't involve the kids. The table was from Bracken's family. They used it when he was growing up. The top was pretty worn out, I was going to sand it down and revarnish it but I ended up painting it instead. The chairs I painted black and left one of them in the sun and the paint bubbled up. So I need to fix that but for now we are using chairs I redid last year, they are from my grandparents. They used to be the beautiful..ahem..orange vinyl. Or something like vinyl I'm really not sure.


The nightstands my visiting teacher and friend, Karly, helped me build. I couldn't have done it without her. I just don't add in my head too well (and I was going to be an accounting major...). Luckily she was there to help me so they weren't lopsided and so I didn't kill myself with the power tools.

Nothing fancy but I liked how they turned out. Now I just need some pottery or books or something to put in the middle. For now I just hope they withstand Hayes climbing all over them.

I had a friend paint her table and chairs black recently and I'm trying to get the motivation to do the same to mine. I love using black in furnishings! The fabric on the chairs is cute too. So chic! I'm impressed at your skills Skye!
