Hi Friends!
How are you? We’ve had back to back busy weekends at the store so thank you very, very much to all who came out and shopped so far this holiday season!!! I don’t know about you but I can not believe Christmas is 10 days away. I mean really… didn’t we just start 2015? This year I’m trying something new with my kids at Christmas and I wanted to encourage you all to consider it, too. We all want to do less presents, right? Then we never end up actually doing less. I know, I know. I tried to limit and I did pretty well but can’t seem to get it down to 1-2 presents. So, I tried to switch gears a bit and make experiences together the biggest part of their Christmas gifts. Something like this… I am putting Coupon Books in their stockings. You can get free printables for the books on Pinterest. I liked these by WonderMom Wannabe. I’m hoping it will be a good reason to make extra memories together this year. If your kids are anything like mine, they won’t let you forget that they have the coupons and will use them. We are also planning small trips with each child individually. The busier life gets the more I realize it’s not OK to have my kids be the first people who get pushed aside. They are what matter to me and they won’t forget. Friends come and go and life situations change but those little monkeys will always be my babies.
As for the furniture makeover, we have another mid century piece that is sure to melt my soul… as always. Here it is before:
Pretty UGLY! Right?
We sanded it down quite a bit to get it smooth since it had been painted before. We painted this desk using Benjamin Moore’s color Simply White. If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. We stained the drawer fronts using water down painted.
This desk is for sale right now! We just brought it into the store last week. If you’d like to purchase it, please use our Contact Us form or stop by our store at 272 River Street, Troy, NY. I also added quite a few other new pieces to the store!
