I am bored out of my mind. I am waiting to hear from HR at Ole Miss so that I can fill out paperwork to become a student athlete tutor. The rain is heading our way. I am out of spray paint for my multiple painting projects. I can't shop because I don't have a job, yet. I have finished all but one assignment and my final for my last grad school class. And, my house is clean. I am the type of person that needs a routine and this is not working. I can't take much more. Hopefully I will hear something from HR today or tomorrow morning. On the plus side Kevin is in town this weeked playing ball. The team is hosting the Red & Blue Classic and Kevin's sister, Brittany, is coming down to visit and watch a little softball.
I do have a couple of projects that I have yet to share. I found these two pieces at my favorite store in Oxford, Sugar Magnolia. Sugar Magnolia is set up so that people can sell their arts and crafts, thrifty finds, re-finished furniture, or junk. I found the chair in a shade of white and the table in the most awful shade of baby pink.
The chair got a coat of blue paint and a little sanding to distress. I love it. It sits in the corner of the guest room so that others can throw stuff on it. The table got a coat of brown spray paint and then I had to fix the broken piece. It originally had a wooden piece to hold magazines, books, etc but it was broken. I am not handy enough to add another piece of wood. However, I did have Kevin drill me some holes and I strung ribbon through them. The ribbon is tight enough to withstand a couple of magazines and books for guests. I added some candles wrapped in the same ribbon. My Goodwill cakestand that guests can use for jewelry. And my Goodwill lamp with the shade that is a bit to big but works for now. All in all not to bad for a newbie to refinishing and redecorating.
I am getting a little bold. I linked up my wrapping paper organizer to Allison's, a high school friend, Catch A Glimpse party. I am trying to get the full blog experience. Check her blog out. She is wonderful, creative, and has lots of great ideas. Her blog is Adventures of the Michelena Family,
Looks great! And I totally want to go to that store! lol
