Weatherwood Stained Laundry Room Oak Table


I (virtually) met this wonderful faux painter- Kari Caldwell when she first used Weatherwood's Reclamation color on some cherry cabinets several months ago. Since then, she also used it on this little DIY project and I thought what better way to display this post than to share it with you- my blog friends. I think there are many of us without laundry rooms that lack shelving and room to fold, stack and store.

Always Never Done: Unique Chalk Painted Game Table

Hi G2B readers! Hope you are all having a great week so far. This month I am showing you how transform an antique table that was a little blah into something that says “I am a statement piece!”.  All you need for this easy transformation is some chalk paint, a brush and a wax sealer.Checker-Table-Always-Never-Done

Renovar Design: DIY Candles Holders from Vintage Jello Molds







I am so excited to back again & this month I am not even fooling around (get it? lame? I know, I know...sorry. I just couldn't resist!)

On a more serious note, I have been very busy with a basketball tournament, work, tackling a whole home organization project, crafting here and there in my spare time & taking care of every single person in my house because they have all been sick! Being a nurse, I normally don't blame the weather - this week - I am totally blaming the weather! It has been crazy in the Chicago land area. Sunny & 50, then overcast & 70, then rainy, then back to the 30's with snow, then warmer again in the 50's, then sleet and then more snow. I feel like mother nature is having a mid-life crisis and doesn't really know what she wants! LOL. Ah, such is life in the Midwest!

This month I am bringing you a quick, inexpensive, DIY up-cycled project. Despite being so busy, I still manage to make time for crafting. It relaxes me. Even if it only takes a few minutes to complete, I feel accomplished after being creative!
