Finally back to semi-normal

click to enlarge pictures



finally able to do my fun home stuff, family stuff under some control and I can think more clearly and do the things that make me happy.. re doing my backyard..we fixed the cement , which i am in process of painting..just haven't found just the right shade of expoxy paint to go with my soft colors.. I am looking for a soft tera cotta on the pinkish side.... I refinished my picnic table with 3 differant shades of green , blue and aqua and some white wash.. I love the way it came out.. I redid my sunroom funriture In the same subtle colors which complement my curtains .. I love painting furniture..its so theraputic and sanding in between colors...seeing what happens as each layer is added, not two are the same!

You did a wonderful job on your furniture. I can see I am going to love coming back to see what you are up to. Hopefully we will become good friends in the process.
