366 Project: Week 4

A quick note. . . I have noticed that in my first 366 project posts I have labeled the photos differently each week (I guess I need to work on my editing) for the sake of consistency each picture will be labeled with the date from this point forward. Okay. . . on to the Week 4 photos!

Let's Try This Again

Obviously,I have been exceedingly lazy and less than disciplined about blogging, I would like to be better about this for a couple of reasons:

1: I love to see what my friends and family are up to. . . leading me to assume they want to see what I am doing too.

2: I like documenting what I've accomplished and being able to look back and see the progress I've made on my ever growing list of projects, goals, and hobbies.

I decided as a way to document the year and structure my blog posts (at least a tiny bit) I would participate in the 365 day photo project. I have seen some other bloggers and friends doing this and I think it will be fun to look back at my photos at the end of the year and it will let all of you see what catches my eye on a daily basis (expect more than a few cat pictures). My plan is to do a 365 day project post every Monday posting the pictures from previous week Sunday-Saturday and then posting on projects (house, yard, crafts, cooking as I accomplish things). We'll see how it goes. . . .

All You Can Eat Buffet

Over the weekend I got busy sanding, painting and otherwise revamping the hand-me-down buffet we have been using for the last five years. This little guy was my grandparents (I've mentioned their/our other dining room furniture here) and has been painted at least twice, once blue and once white with varnish over the paint. The white version, with aged and yellowing varnish, is what we had kept it as up until now.

Aside from the discoloration of the paint it had a few chips, cracks and problems, both from us and it's tenure in my grandparents attic.

After sanding, painting and new hardware it is looking fresh and lovely!!!!!

This buffet make-over is also making me realize I need to do some work on the dining chairs. I will take some complete shots of the dining room after I work on the chairs. . . but . . . one thing at a time.

End of Summer

The last two weekends have been beautiful! The oppressive heat of the summer broke (although we hear it is heating back up this coming week) and has led to open windows, walks, and a renewed interest in almost everything. . .including this blog.

I thought I would share a few of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
