It's been a while...

It has been quite a while since I have felt like blogging.  My life has not been very rosy lately but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  A few things have crashed down at us all at once and I hope that the solution that we have chosen is the best one for my family.  We are moving back home!!!  Which is a small town in Iowa and I am SO excited.  We have lived in Minnesota for almost 12 years and although most of it has been great, it is time to get back closer to family.  This being said, I want to share with you my latest project.  Funny how once our decision was made to move home, I felt creative again...

I painted this cute little night stand for a very special little girl.  Her name is Avi and I use to get to take care of her for about 2 hours every day when I worked at the gym.  Her and her brothers were my buddies.

Here is the night stand that her mom, Lulu, found at Unique (mine and her favorite thrift store)

and here is what it looks like now...

I painted it Spring Green from Sherwin Williams

Gave it a little sanding

And a little antiquing...

and painted a cute little knob for it as well.

I gave it to Lulu yesterday and she told me it far exceeded her expectation.  You gotta love that!
Well I am off to do some packing ~ well a lot of packing.  I will keep you updated on our move south...
As Always, Karie
