dropping like flies

Are you feeling abandoned yet? I lost 3 followers yesterday.

{sad face}

I've been super busy finishing up all my furniture projects before this Thursday (when I move into my booth)

Before you guys give up on me I will show you a quickie before and after .

I got ahead of myself and forgot to take a "before" picture. After scouring craigslist for a similar table and chairs, Score! I found one.



Except the table I purchased was in horrible condition (unlike the one above). The story was(in short): Husband and Wife got a divorce, Husband kicks wife out of the house, husband soon finds out that the wife gets the house, husband destroys everything in the house before wife returns.

{eeek!}

Stinks for the husband and wife situation, good for me! I got the table and four chairs for fifteen bucks!
It was pretty banged up . So, I just sanded down all the stain and started from scratch and ended up with this:

{{PRICE TAG" $150}} SOLD


ignore all the mess ...this is in my husbands garage. He gave up his "man territory" so I could have a space to finish up all my furniture. He has even been staying home and watching the kids.
grin.

{Isn't that sweet?}

I suppose this is more of a "middle" picture. I ended up staining the top an aged chestnut . It turned out great! I'll have an actual "after" for you later.

Hang in there, I have some more great "afters" coming tomorrow!
