Happy Tuesday everyone!
This time last week our Little Man had his tonsils and adenoids removed. Minor surgery, but a long recovery. Boy do I feel badly for him. He’s been up all through the night, every night, crying in pain. He’s been much better during the day though. (Thanks to everyone who was praying for us!!) Just after Christmas, he and Sweetie starting practicing for our Easter children’s choir at church. When I scheduled his surgery the week of Spring break I thought I was a brilliant mom because he wouldn’t have to miss much school during the recovery time. Minor detail. He was suppose to sing back to back church services on Easter morning. Mother of the year title revoked pretty quickly once I figured that one out.
Easter morning came and I told him he didn’t have to sing, he could just go up and mouth it or not go up at all. He said he didn’t even want to get on stage. Then we walked into church and he ran right up there with his little friends and wanted to sing. He only made it through one of the two services because it hurt too much after that, but I was proud of him for trying.
Easter is such an exciting holiday for us. We celebrate our risen Savoir. So thankful that “living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried he carried my sins far away, rising He justified freely forever. One day He’s coming – Oh glorious day!”
And in the spirit of all things Easter and springy… I thought I’d share a canary yellow furniture makeover. Just seems appropriate, not to mention I love it!
Here the cabinet is before. Great quality, unique shape, but it definitely needed some love.
We sanded this down and primed it with grey, then painted it yellow. Don’t be mad, but I can’t remember the yellow I had from Valspar. I believe it’s Yellow Chimes 3011-1; don’t quote me on that. :) Then I distressed and glazed this piece. If you want to see how we paint furniture check out our How To Paint Furniture post.

Happy redesigns everyone,
Sarah ;)
