Update on Painting

My first try at a glass plate! It was fun and I think I may do some more later!

This tile was painted for Carrie's future nephew. The bedding is named "countryside". (cute)

Time on my hands!

Since we haven't had power since Saturday, I have been busy painting! Ashley wanted a necklace holder, my sister wanted a sign for her bedroom, Courtney had some crosses for me to paint, and I worked on some chalkboards to sell. Back to painting.....................

Now a happy chair!

Kristy bought this old metal chair and got a deal at $20! This is the before..............


This is the after! I sanded the rusty spots and painted the back of the chair and legs an almond color. The seat and steps are a barn red. The sides are painted a sage green. These are the colors in her kitchen.

Lacie B. awarded me my first blog award and I am so honored! Now I get to pass this award to 3 bloggers! These are the rules.

1. The winner can put the logo on her blog.

2. Link the person you received your award from.

3. Nominate at least 3 other blogs.

4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of those you have nominated.
Sounds easy enough!

So, here is who gets my "I Love Your Blog" award.

In no particular order,

1. I love visiting Michelle's blog and seeing her precious baby girl. Michelle and Chris are wonderful Christian friends, and I am glad I had the opportunity to teach with Michelle.

2. Visit Carrie's blog, and she will have you rolling! She also has a 100th post drawing coming up!

3. Denise has the cutest little boys, is a working mom, and is going to school part time! You go, Denise. She even has time to blog, now that is a super mom!

Meagan's board

Meagan, Lindsey's friend, just finished redoing her bedroom, and she wanted a board to match her bedding. She painted her walls khaki, and painted some furniture too. I will have to get her to take a pic of her finished room to post.

The Finished Product

The Latest

This is the first time I have painted on MDF. I like it! It's surface is smooth and easy to paint on. These paintings are for Casee and Justin's baby, Jace Thomas Davis, who is due in September. Casee is going to mount these on boards covered with the fabrics shown.

Past paintings

I scanned these pics, because these photos were lost on a bad hard drive. I did these paintings a few years ago. The high chair was my first furniture project. Thanks, Sherry for getting me started. The toy box is for Sherry's grandson. The step stool was a birthday gift for my nephew. I painted the girly table for Brandie's daughter for Christmas, and the western table and chairs was for Linda to put in her husband's photography studio.

When your kids are driving you crazy
And you are about to lose your mind,
Just take out the Lovin' Spoon
And use it on their behind!

Ashley's desk

I purchased this desk and a chair for 30 dollars and painted it to match Ashley's black and white room for school. The desk is that French Provincial stuff that many of us girls had in our rooms when we were growing up. It was an offwhite color before. After some sanding and priming, I was able to start the fun stuff!

A Desk for a Sunday School Room

Another birthday canvas.

I painted this desk for a little cowboy to play school.
Ornaments like this were in a magazine for over $16! I painted lots of these for neat gifts. My mother-in-law bought a plethora of clear ornaments for me to paint for next Christmas. I'll have to start looking for ideas early.
