Project Time

Right around the time Gabe turned 9 months old, I started to feel ready for a project. He was FINALLY sleeping well (though we we've back tracked a little- however I'm hopeful we'll get back on the sleeping train again soon) he was starting to crawl and was a little more able to entertain himself. Even though I was, and am, still very busy with the kiddos I was feeling like my hands were finally free a little. I had been feeling very frusterated before that, at the end of each day I would be completely wiped out- but have all kinds of productive energy left, and wanted to sew, bake, create! Make! But I just couldn't I was too tired. Ok- getting to the point! One day I was in good will looking for I don't know what, and I spotted these! They were only $10 EACH!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! I gave them a shake and they felt like real wood, so I went out on a limb and bought them! (I happened to have exactly $20 left in grocery money that week....we may have eaten eggs and pancakes a few nights that week, but aren't they sure cute;)

Anyways- I was nervous Josh would think they were junk- I often pick out things that are super cute and super crappy- but he thought they were solid too! (I think he was a little proud of me;)

The total project- end tables, paint, and sanding paper cost me 38.39!

I didn't take the best pic of the final project, but they are certainly an upgrade to our plain jane bedroom! All I need to do now is add some fun lamp shades to my boring white ones and I'll have a sweet little makeover!
