Getting Back At It...

One of my New Year's Reso's was to get fit... and I had been working out using NTC every second night since about a week or so before Christmas...  The past couple of weeks I've been a couch potato... really missing my little miss... moping a lot...

 I have to get back at it... and I've picked tomorrow to be the day I pickup my workouts...  when I was working out I slept better... felt better... had more energy...

A few projects that I had been working on had gone on hold the past couple of weeks as well... I have to get them back on track... the Vintage Chicks 2012 Sale is coming up fast... yeah it's in June... but February is already just a few days from being over!.. time is disappearing...

This beauty I found a few weeks back...

...around the same time I discovered Annie Sloan Chalk Paint here in town at Lauren Lane Decor... BEST... PAINT... EVER...

I even painted over the black kitchen stools... you can see them up above... I've not gotten around to the waxing yet...

...so that the tea trolly isn't just painted cream and distressed I'm painting the pull out tray...

...just a little something to make it stand out...

...then on the top of the trolly I'm thinking a french label that I found online and have blown up... we'll see how it transfers... 

Before getting back on track with the refinishing Furs and I are going to sort out the basement so that we have some workout space... and some refinishing space... painting in the kitchen/dining room makes the house too cluttered...

Tomorrow... clearing some space in the basement... perhaps this could be a jump on Spring cleaning!?.  What is your Sunday plan?..

Weekend Finds... and Weekend Refinishing...

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

Yesterday morning was cold and grey... but we put on a couple layers and headed out to check out a couple of garage sales in a community nearby... they were having a parade of garage sales... okay... I checked out most of them... Furs isn't the biggest fan of "treasure hunting"...

I found a few things and have already begun their transformations... I've picked these up for the Vintage Chicks Sale next weekend!..  This sweet planter isn't 100% complete yet... I have to plant the pansies and to add a few ribbons...

I also found two of these demilune tables... I just found out... via google... that they're called demilune tables... I started working on one of them today... The plan is to finish this one today... and to start the second table...

 

I started the process of refinishing this table by giving the surface a scratch over with some fairly fine sandpaper... to give the surface some tooth... I used my Black and Decker Mouse Sander for the flat areas... so the sanding would go quicker!.. then two coats of Rust-Oleum Primer and a nice heavy coat of Rust-Oleum Painters Touch...

I'm now in the process of sanding the table by hand... all over to give the surface a distressed... weathered appearance... then onto the second table... can you guess what colour that one will be!?. I was thinking a bright red... or a baby blue... but it'll end up cream...

I also found these two items on the "treasure hunt"... I'll be keeping the cake stand... I think a pineapple upside down cake would look sweet on there... 

And check out the decorative birdcage!..  I was like STOP THE CAR!..

I've got a sweet little fern to go inside of there!..

The weather today is supposed to be beauty... fingers crossed for no wind so that I can work outside... for now I'm head out onto the patio for a cuppa tea... I'ma have to head back in... later on to prep my tags for the Vintage Chicks next weekend!..
