What I'm Working On Wednesday

Here's some vintage stuff I bought
recently and other treasures I'm work-
ing on from my "Fixin' To Do" list:

 

I bought this old bedspread at an estate

sale a couple weekends ago. A lot of
material for $12!

I bought it to make slipcovers,

so I was surprised after I washed

and dried it several times to find

it's in perfect condition.

 

I'm still going to cut it up, but a

stain would've made it easier!

The gray turkey is finally going

white. One more coat, then

dark wax on, dark wax off...

While I had the Swiss Coffee

paint out, my old bench got

a few coats too.

 

I'm giving myself 3 more days

to finish it or get rid of it.

 

No more storing unfinished

projects in hidey-holes...

I promised myself this when I

started purging all my boxes

and closets!

 

The yellow-y looking paint is

Annie Sloan's in Old White. I much

prefer the Swiss Coffee by Behr.

 

I bought this vintage strainer at

the same estate sale as the old

bedspread.

You should see Wild Bill's face

when I verbally admire the dings

and dents on this!

I love the gray-blue color. I'm going

to hang it on the kitchen cabinets.

While purging closets recently, I

found a "first Christmas" picture of

Lily (our 4-year-old grandchild).

My favorite picture of her cousin

Ben is this old "Fall at the Farm"

picture of him with his two

adoring parents.

 

Ben's now a "grown up" of

three and a half, and a big

brother to Olivia (8 months),

but this is still my favorite

picture of him.

 

Here's my favorite picture of

our older daughter's two sons,

Jack and Tucker, taken in 2008

during Thanksgiving vacation.

 

That year, Tucker climbed up the

bench and knocked off all the

pillows to reach the hats hanging

on the wall and some vintage

cowboy boots. We found him

all decked out.

He sure was cute!

 

Better go find those frames...

 

Thanks for stopping by!
