Two Projects Completed! So many more to go...

Close up of distressed finish...
With a little more than a week to go, I'm busy, busy and more busy sanding, painting and varnishing furniture.  Both my hubby and I work together in this adventure...he fixes and I finish...well, he finishes too!

Here's a couple of projects that are now ready for the sale.  The side table is actually a vintage sewing cabinet...but now its a great side table and opens to make a nice serving table or maybe a mini bar!!!

Chair with cushion removed for recovering...

Fall Activities...

Annie and I spent the better part of the day in the barn getting stuff ready for our Farmgirls Country Sale Sept. 26, 27 and 28.

Annie - my faithful assistant and friend!
 
I hauled paint out to paint things where they are!!!  A huge table is on her side so I can paint her legs Country White while leaving her top wood - I think.  You just never know how things will turn out until paint brush is in hand dripping some sort of paint color.

The other day I painted 5 chairs and today I began recovering their seats.  I finished 3 seats with 3 more to go - I know - the math is off - there's an extra seat for a rocker that Hubby painted.  Yay!

The first seat I recovered today!!!   



Red rockers and a tray with new red legs!

Time for supper - chili dogs and refrigerator pickles and hash browns!  Then its back out to paint - so nice when everything is set up and I just have to open the paint and brush!!!

Take care - I'm going to try to regularly blog again - we'll see with 15 days left before our sale!
