An End Table makeover

Good morning all !

Most people go out early in the morning to have a cup of coffee ( or tea )
Me?
I dart out with a piece of furniture.
In my p.j's
With my hair up in a clip.
It's not pretty.
But this is, isn't it?

When I spotted this little table ( with a headboard ) I thought it would coordinate nicely with the dresser I did last week ( HERE )

Even though they don't have the same lines - they're both French Provincial - and by tying in the colors they do look like a set, don't they?

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Paris Grey & Old White - you can never go wrong !

The knobs were painted to match the dresser's too

I just KNEW when I saw this ad for sale

that it was meant to look like this

Now I think maybe I'll make a tea - and go outside with it - and pretend I'm all normal like !

Have a wonderful day - we've got another heat warning in effect here today
Good old Montreal hit 41 with the humidex yesterday ( 105 ish in American talk ) and more of the same today.- any physical work I need to do has to be done by 10 a.m.- so I'd better move my butt on the headboard

and Soda wants to go for her morning ritual

Much love,
Me

Good Morning All !

I picked this up at Home Depot about a month ago................I think it was 7.99

First I stained it.................and then I made a couple of signs out of shims................

I dry brushed  them with some white chalk paint - and than used stencils and a sharpie for the rest

I simply attached it with binder clips

The stain took to it so beautifully

It'll sit on the washer or dryer - I'm going to get another one to put castors on for magazines - but in the meantime we decided yesterday that we'd go for an impromptu ( how's that for a fancy word - I know I know - what a command of the English language ! ) picnic so I decided to quickly turn it into a picnic basket

John says - What in God's name are you doing?
Suzan says - Taking photos for the blog
John says - Sometimes I think you try to outcrazy yourself from day to day
Suzan says - WHY?
John says - What are you - 5 years old?

Suzan says - But today's the day that the teddy bears go on their picnic !
Suzan says - If you go down in the woods today - you're sure of a big surprise - if you go down to the woods today -  you'd better go in disguise !!!

John walks away - shaking his head -
John says - C'mon Soda - Mommy's losing her mind again

Suzan says - Wait !!!
Suzan says - You forgot your disguise !
Suzan says - Can I take a pic of you in yours?
John says - Buzz off

Well I don't have a bee disguise - so these will have to do I suppose.................

I'm the foxy fox by the way..................





Now excuse me - I have to work on releasing John's inner child .................it's gotta be in there..............
somewhere.

Have a wonderful Monday one and all !
Happy Labor day !
( Ashley just may go INTO labor today now that I think of it ! )
Hugs,
Me
