Hi Friends!
How is everything going? We had a fun week here with the T-Ball starting!! It’s Sweetie’s first year and she may or may not have hit the ball and run to 3rd base instead of 1st on her first play of the season. Cute as a button. ;)
This picture seemed so appropriate since the day they were given their outfits for T-Ball was the last day that they were 4 and 5. This week we celebrated our little man’s 6th birthday.
He is so serious but sensitive… funny and quick witted. I love that he still sees me in a crowd and waves like a crazy maniac, and he still wants my kisses. He tells me almost every day that he loves me 10,000 times. He may have an addiction to Lego. He can build anything he sees and will spend hours working on a set. He can sing, but he’d never do it for you unless he doesn’t know you’re listening or when he’s in a group at church. He loves God and wants everyone to love Him, too. He’s a daily gift of God’s love to me. For some reason this birthday was harder for me than the rest. He’s almost half way to being a teenager, he’s not a toddler anymore and he just looks like a boy not a baby. Ugh. I held him and said, “Why are you growing up?? I told you to stay little forever.” He looked me right in the eye and said, “Mommy, I have to get bigger. It’s how God made things to work.” Melt. Cry. Emotional me. Yup, true story!
On to the story of furniture remaking! For so long, I’ve admired Hollywood Regency style furniture – something with a shiny finish (sometimes with bold colors), a tiny bit of Asian flair, and embraces the glam factor. I thought of that design right away when I saw this hutch. It had the right lines, hardware, and mirrored interior. Here it is before…
We sanding it lightly to create a good surface for the primer to adhere to, taped off all of the mirror on the inside, and painted it with Valspar’s Cliveden Pasture. I love this hue of green, really bold but without being obnoxious. We used some of the original hardware, but spray painted them gold. Are you ready for the after pictures?? Remember we just put this piece up on our Furniture For Sale page. So check it out to see if it’s still available!! 
The after pictures are done by Chelsea Bos Photography. I hope you all have a great week! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Happy redesigns everyone,
Sarah ;)
