sneak peek.

Going to be back up and posting tomorrow; but here is a sneak peek at 

what we've been up to. 

a new place for my computer

Well after being sick and dealing with sick kids I finally have time to do a post on an accomplishment that is more than getting a shower. I use the butlers pantry right off my kitchen to do my computer and blogging. It is convenient as I can check things while cooking, doing dishes or whatever.

I had been using the top of the butlers pantry cabinet but not really conducive to comfort and we all know how a mere 10 minutes reading blogs turns into something like a couple of hours - yikes. 

I had bought this vanity way back in the warm autumn - October to be exact - remember when it was warm?  Just close eyes and remember ...ahhhh.  Okay back to now. I was going to cut into two bedside tables but then thought I'd paint if for the princess but as I was sanding it I fell in love with it.  It fits the space and has some drawers for junk...win/win.

Here is a bad before- it is lying in the driveway as I was stripping off the terrible paint job someone had done.  Yes, this was when it was warm outside. 

And then she was placed on the porch as I had other things to do. She sat there until the beginning of December - why when I had so much to do for Christmas I don't know.  I broke out of my safe zone of white and went with the robins egg blue with some glaze on top of it.  Then she sat some more.  In January I stained the top a walnut.  Sort of a Miss Mustard Seed influence.  I still need to decide on the knobs.  I have tons just need to figure out which I want to use.
