A Beautiful Accident!

I am finally getting back into the groove of things!  I still have not found all of my supplies.  I am trying not to unpack everything.  The plan is to buy a house sometime this year.  I do not want to have to pack up my whole house again.  Trying to pack with two little ones is like trying to shovel snow while it's still snowing.  I put the stuff in the box, they turn around and take it out.

  I still have not made it to the thrift stores here, but I found a strip mall that is nothing but small 2nd hand stores.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that they hold some treasures.

I finished the 2nd end table today.  I originally was going to paint it to match the other one, but after some thought, I decided that I wanted this one be light grey.

This one was a little rougher than the first.  The whole top of it needed to be sanded.  I have to tell you that I have become so spoiled with the whole sanding thing.  I do not enjoy sanding.  The only thing that I dislike more is filling holes.

Here is what it looks like now!

Normally, I paint my piece of furniture and let it sit over night before I sand and glaze.  Today, I was in my groove, so I decided to glaze just an hour after I finished the second coat.  I always use baby wipes when I glaze.  If you have not tried them, I suggest you do!

 When wiping off the glaze, today I noticed that the wipe was taking off some of the paint.  Giving it that yummy chippy look!  I still don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but I am gonna try it again on my next project!

I hope that you all have a great weekend!  I am off to the thrift stores to see what I can dig up!
