Hi Friends!
Happy early Thanksgiving! Isn’t it easy to let the hectic holiday seasons rob us of our joy and distract us from the practice of being thankful? I know it’s often that way for me. So, I’m reminding you (because I need to remind myself) that taking time on Thursday to voice our thankfulness for all that God has blessed us with is good for the heart and mind. It’s good every day of course, but let’s take the time this Thanksgiving to share our gratitude with friends. We go around the table and everyone says something they are thankful for before we eat. It’s beautiful to hear the span of gratitude from a 4 year old to a 64 year old. It’s a comfort in the stressful seasons to remember the sweeter seasons and know… this too shall pass. John and I are both committed to not working on Thanksgiving and practicing the mental discipline of setting aside the hectic work week and all that we COULD be doing to be mentally present with our family. Take time to really listen to their lives, play games, laugh together, sing together. We are praying for this to be what Thanksgiving looks like this year; a joyful, restful, day filled with genuine thanksgiving. I pray that you’ll enjoy a day like that, too!
Also, remember this Monday, we’ll be hosting our holiday Market and Vendor Show.

For this week’s furniture makeover, I wanted to share with you the makeover of dresser and commode… that’s right an antique commode! lol Jennifer reached out to us to see if we’d be interested in her mother’s furniture. I loved these pieces right away.
Here they are before:
We painted it Benjamin Moore’s Black, lightly distressed it, added new hardware, and sprayed it with a protective clear coat.
If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.
Ready for the transformation???
I loved the dresser so much that I kept it, but I couldn’t fit the commode. So… the poopers can be all yours. 😂 This piece sold online the day it was posted, but you can check out even more new pieces on our For Sale page.
