Festivities!

The Fall Festival this past weekend was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who stopped by! 

We even sold a few pieces; the pink and white chevron dresser, blue end table,bench, and a yellow mirror I painted at the last minute.

At the last minute I also finished these end tables. I super love them! You can see them in the pictures from the festival.

I wasn’t able to get a “cute” picture of them before the festival, but you get the idea.

I planned to sand and re-stain the top. I used Mini-Wax dark walnut stain and just followed the directions on the can.

Unfortunately, I didn’t wear gloves because I’m too lazy to buy some/I forget, and my hands looked habitually dirty for the next two or three days.

Back to the end tables: I wasn’t sure about what color I should paint them, so I asked family and friends for color suggestions. The majority vote was white, and white they became!

Thanks for reading! 

iHeart Fall.

Guess what...I got another flat tire!! Right after I got brand new ones put on. Yay! A nice man on his way home from work this morning helped me change it before my brother could even get there.

Moving on.

I love Fall.

I fully believe the seasons should be as follows:

Winter: December. Only December.
Spring: January to June
Summer: July. Just July.
Fall: August to November.

I've never done much fall decorating. In Utah I just looked up at the mountains and they were all sorts of yellow, orange, red, purple, and green looking so I never felt the need. I'm not sure how fall really looks here in Missouri. So far, it's mostly like dried corn stalks.

Anyway, I was wandering around Far West yesterday and picked up a handful of acorns. Mostly because they're cute, but then I thought I could paint them as part of a fall-type decoration. I perused and found some acorn love:
