I might not have been journal busy lately, but I sure have been project and life busy!! I finally finished the sofa table! I love it. It might actually be a little tall for the sofa, but I am fine with that . . . I might just have to get a new sofa to match my $20 table redo!!
After a couple coats of General Finishes gel stain and a couple coats of their gel polyacrylic, I love it!! The Annie Sloan chalk paint, just adds to the love!! I also refinished an old stool that we had in the pantry and I have a desk that is going to meet the stain and paint in the next few weeks!! I love it!
The Gel Stain was super easy to apply!! I haven't ever applied a stain before and if it is this easy, then I am hooked!!
My project this morning was goody boxes for Julia's gymnastics team and all I had were these little gift boxes from Michaels. But . . . as usual I am running behind and I need these boxes for tonight. That means no paint or time to carefully cut out paper. So I saw this idea on pintrest . . . of course I had to try it!! I coated the top of the boxes with quick dry glue and dipped them in glitter! They look like I took a lot of time to make them . . . um, but really 5 mintues!! Love the easy stuff!! And now . . . to sweep the floors!!
I love your table ... especially the white and woodgrain together! And the treat boxes are very cute ... the kids will LOVE the glitter!
