Busy And Productive Saturday...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

So last night I sanded down the little table I got earlier the summer and sprayed it with my new spray gun...

I was super excited so of course I sprayed it on too heavy and then one of the pieces knocked over and the paint smushed... but today I lightly sanded and resprayed and then sanded and resprayed once more... I still have to do a little destressing sanding and then a rubdown with some muddy brown... before and after tomorrow!..

Early this morning I got these treasures at Pam's sale...  

Old windows... one with glass... one without glass... um... only $5 each!..

This sweet lion head planter... 2 lion heads on opposite sides... only $1... and I got a painted wooden oval tray that I'm going to sand down and refinish... only $1... no picture of that... 

Here's a detail shot of the lions head...

Then I got this sweet wooden chair... $5... I was thinking it would look good a solid cherry red... but then I noticed all of the natural wear on the seat...

So... I think I'm going to stain the seat dark and the two pieces that go across the back dark and paint the rest a creamy cream and then distress those parts a little...

And for another $5 I got this very interestingly shaped folding tray... I thought I had a full shot of it but that must be on my phone... here's a detail shot of the tray hardware... It's why I bought the tray... beautiful handles... so all of these treasures... only $22!.. JACKPOT!..

Then later this morning I got these treasures from a free pile on the side of the road...

I already ripped the covers off of these... I'm going to stain them up a bit and then twine the spines and then twine them together...

Sweet mirror... can you get what colour I'm going to paint the metal?.. yep cream!.. hahaha

Then this!.. A sturdy wood side table... made in Canada... check out the drawer detail shot... 

Then I spent the rest of the day stripping the second wingback chair to get it ready to reupholster... my hands and body are just aching now... I also painted the chair's feet and did the other two coats of paint on the little table I was talking about earlier...

The weather was just amazing today... it had to be over 26 degrees out in the front on the lawn... so I worked outside on the wingback chair...  

It's grocery time now... then I think I'm going to distress that little table... then watch a movie and chill out with my Furs and the kitties!..  What did you do today!?.

Turkey tomorrow!..
