Painted Black Vanity For Sale- Tuesday’s Treasures

Hi Friends,

How was your week? The biggest news this week is that our little Harmony graduated Kindergarten. She was chosen to be Goldilocks in Goldilocks and the Three Bears on graduation day. She was sooooo excited to be Goldilocks and couldn’t wait for us to see her. Look at all the cuteness.

Josh also was awarded the highest honor roll student in his class. We are so proud of him for always striving for excellence.

So many things have changed during this one school year. We found out Harmony has celiac disease. When she started the school year, her stomach hurt every day. She would ask her teachers to let her sleep through recess and she would thank me when I put her to bed at 7pm. She also was very sensitive and easily emotional. Figuring out the cause mid year was amazing as we watched her disposition change, her grades go up, and her energy sky rocket.

We also found out toward the end of the school year that Josh had hearing loss and must have been reading lips to understand his teacher. With a minor surgery, he is hearing great and loving it! I asked him what he heard in school after going back from surgery and he said “I heard everything mom”. “I couldn’t hear anything before.” So seeing him walk up there and take the highest honors knowing how hard it must have been for him to even hear this year, left me so very grateful.

Opening our storefront happened during this school year, too. I don’t know if every mom feels this way, but with every major decision we make, I think about the possible effects that it could have on our kids. I so worried that Harmony’s exhaustion or emotional moments were directly related to how busy I was opening the store during the holiday season. I worried that they wouldn’t see me enough and that our decision would make them think money was more important to me than they are. Looking back over the year, it’s been quite the opposite. The struggles with Harmony was a disease, we caught it (thank God) and it’s better. The store has allowed me to actually be with them more now then before. It’s helped me separate work time and family time. It’s helped to teach me that time with them is so precious so I need to be present and work hard at keeping my family at the forefront of my mind That’s harder than it sounds when you have 100 voices a day telling you they are the most important things. Either way, I came to the end of the year and am so very thankful for how God worked in our family. Watching Him provide, seeing Him heal and feeling His peace day by day is a beautiful thing.

On to the furniture, shall we?

We found this little desk at a 2nd hand store and it needed LOTS of love. The legs were scratched like the dickens, whatever that means! There was also lots of surface damage and back repair needed.

I thought it was a little simple by itself and thought it would be nice to turn into a vanity so I purchased a mirror at the second hand store to go along with it. Here they both are before. If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. We painted it with black enamel paint, distressed all of the edges to show some of the wood and replaced some of the hardware.
