Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

I needed a new table for our breakfast area.  Our little fam has outgrown my beloved concrete-topped iron cafe table.  And since I no longer have a dining room (turned it into my sewing space), a table that seats more than two is somewhat necessary.  I noticed my mother had one in their garage. 

Me:  "Can I please have your table?"

Mom:  "Are you going to paint it or beat it up in any way?"

Me:  "Yep."

Mom:  "Then no, I'd rather give it to the Salvation Army."

Really?  What does she think is going to happen to her table at the Salvation Army??  Some nice lady is going to buy it and give it a good coat of Pledge every week??

She finally relented. 

Have you ever heard of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint?  It is new on my rader, and now I am obsessed and want to paint everything in my house.  Look it up!  It was really easy to use, and I am very pleased with the results...looks good if I say so myself.

Before and After:

Why is my picture sideways??  I can't fix it.



I'm back!

Remember me?  Doubtful.

Here is what I look like:





Beach vacation this year:  child not happy.

 

He's been a bit of a pistol...rocked my world FO SHO.  But we are getting the hang of things.  And I miss blogging.  I just have so much to say. 

So I'm back.  I think.  I'm going to try really hard.  Because you really need to see this gorgeous face on a regular basis.  And read my thoughts on subjects that don't matter.

And I need it too. 

 

I'm so big mommy!

 My sweet Porter is 20 months old.  How did that happen?

BTW...renamed the blog "All Over the Place" because that best describes me these days.  I can't seem to finish a thought or sentence before starting another one.  And forget remembering to do anything that isn't written on my handy dandy list.  What happened to my brain??  Also, I really like lots of things that don't necessarily go together, and this will probably be the most random blog you've ever read.  You have been warned.

And when I said "gorgeous face," I mean this one:

That's dirt on his face...
