A New Face

So I've been wanting to re-enter the blogosphere for quite some time now. Turns out, this afternoon's naptime demanded absolutely nothing of me but two and a half glorious hours of whatever the heck I wanted. After 45 minutes of craigslisting and searching every store's website known to man trying to find patio furniture that I wanted and could afford (to no avail, might I add) I became extremely frustrated with the amount of money someone thinks they can charge for CUSHIONS (for crying out loud) and decided I needed an avenue to vent my frustration. This led to a visit to my very outdated blog, and then the decision that it was indeed time to say hello again.

But first, a facelift...

A new title, (because since I stopped blogging I have gained two more children and lost all sense of quiet, control, and time to myself) and a new look (since I have become slightly obsessed with DIY, turning someone else's junk into something beautiful, and "cottage white" and would cover every wall in my house in white beadboard if I had my way.)

So here it is. And speaking of facelifts- what I did with my weekend...

Before: Found on an obliging curb awaiting a trip to the dump

After...

And my favorite part about this little project was the cost. $0.00 Absolutely zip, zero, zilch, nada... you get the picture.

The shelves were leftovers from my garage in our former home, and the paint was left here by the former owners of our new home.

It's sheer therapy, I'm telling you! Didn't even mind looking down at my feet in church this morning and admiring the white speckled skin on my toes from the splattered paint. :) Marks of a great weekend. Now if only I'd take the time to make the paint on my toenails look half as good...

And just as an added bonus...
