no beach bungalows changed my mind . lol





Hubby got the living room painted .. The color is so pretty it is a pinky sand color.. Benjamin Moore Old Country .. and yes I am on the hunt for a great chair to use at the desk.



and last on my list was THE TRAY. Trying to get this tray finished turned out to be my biggest challenge of all .. The plan was to paint the tray then modge pod this really pretty liner paper that I have been saving for years to the bottom of the tray no biggie right. Paint turned out perfect I cut my paper had it just right then I thought .. Hey why don't you lightly burn the edges of the paper to give it just a little something extra.. So I hit the edge lightly with a flame and poooof it's gone. I didn't think about it being a scented piece of paper it was like throwing a match on a gasoline trail ...
Well that was fun ... dang it I loved that paper ! OK so move on... I decide to do a crackle finish. I applied Elmer's glue then added my top coat of paint moved the tray to an out of the way spot only to come back toooo ...





yes that is paw prints and yes there is a kitty in this house that has pretty blue silver paws which is why there is a doily covering the bottom of the tray !

I didn't finish all of my task but I had fun trying. This coming week I plan on finishing things up and starting a couple new projects.

Thank you so much Miss Gina for the challenge it was fun ! So how did the rest of you do ?
