A little facelift.......

Good morning.....did we survive christmas??......there's certainly lots of new mess goodies laying about this house. So...what do we do now that xmas day has passed....the kids are all happy and amused with their new toys etc.....and a husband who usually works very long hours is suddenly under everyone's feet home on holidays?......bring on the projects of course!! First up......the family dining table......

I love this table.....Mr WF put his clever tradie skills to good use a few years back and whipped this up for us.......he used recycled pine floorboards for the top and we found the legs at an antique shop......threw some laquer on the top and a bluey-grey colour for the legs......and that is where the project begins.......

The laquer was looking all abit too orangey for my liking.......and the legs.....well.....wouldn't they look more attractive WHITE??!?.....

At this stage I'm going with the plan of white distressed bottom and legs (good grief....could be talking about somebody I know....hhmmm....) and an oiled top (again.....could be......)

However we'll see how we go......as with all good plans....they are likely to change at any time........in the meantime.........

The good old white round table has been dragged back inside to be used as our dining table.......apologies for the terribly dark pic....but she does actually look really quite lovely sitting there........and that is it for me today......I'm off to do a little more stripping......of the paint variety excuse me!!!!?!.....

Happy holidays.......
