Hi Friends,

How are you? I feel like every week I say I’m going to show you the completed pictures of our living room, but every week, something comes up that causes us to not quite be done… patience. If nothing else, I’m learning patience in a fixer upper house. lol I’m hoping but not promising that I’ll have some updates to show you next week though. :)

Last week, we had the first week of summer break for the kids combined with the week after vacation. If any of you own your own business, you know how lethal of a combination that is! On top of that, I had a kidney stone. It’s almost laughable writing about it now, but it definitely wasn’t in the moment. I may have cried about 20 times last week. I’m so thankful for the army of women around me who encouraged, helped, prayed over, and listened last week. God knew I needed each and every one of you!! Guess what? This is a new week. Today is a new day. We have so much to be thankful for! Those kids who keep me busy are my favorite gift. That work load that seems crushing at times is a load of all things that I absolutely love doing. That kidney stone reminded me of how thankful I am that I’m healthy usually. Aligning my feelings with truth over here. :)

For this week’s furniture makeover, I wanted to show you a gorgeous secretary desk makeover for Peg and Lou. Here it is before:

We painted the inside pull down area Spirit in the Sky by Benjamin Moore and the outside area Meadow Mist by Benjamin Moore. We also glazed it with a brown glaze and sprayed it with a protective clear coat.
