I'm joining Chari this week for Sunday Favorites.
Most of you all know our grandson is with us every weekend. His mother, my daughter; is a detective and works some pretty strange hours. So, we "volunteer" to have him to help save on her daycare. We've been doing this from the day he's born and we wouldn't miss a minute of the time we have with him.
Last summer Bailey wanted to do some painting and I happened to have the perfect project. :-)
Everyone needs an assistant and I think I found a pretty great one. :-) I had already stained this small table black ( see the legs) the previous winter. But when the new sofa for the sun porch came in November of that fall I knew that black wasn't the answer for that room. I was going with more of an English Cottage feel. So, when Bailey asked if we could paint, I gathered the tools together. The sander, paint, roller and paint brush and a stir stick for the little guy to stir the paint. I wish you could have seen him, he thought he was really doing something just by stirring the paint. :-) After the sanding was done, table wiped off; Bailey got right to work painting. I wish I had taken more pictures. But this project was done in June, and this is long before I even thought about doing a blog. :-) If I knew I would be doing a blog you girls would be here all day looking at all the pictures. lol~

As you can see the black legs are as close as I can get with the "before" pictures. After the painting was complete I wasn't quite satisfied. Oh no!.. Bailey's painting was top notch. I decided it was just a bit too cream for me. So, I mixed up some brown glaze and went to work. This Spring I think I might sand the edges a bit more and add a bit more glaze to give it more of a older worn piece of furniture.

TA-DA!!! This is the finished project all decorated. You might remember the drapes.. Yes, girls you're in the sun porch. The room that started the blog ohhhhh so many months ago. :-)




Be sure to join me later today for the long a waited Office Reveal.
