Move over Martha Stewart!!!!!


Workin with Tools!

Check out this beauty!

This table was Lane's Great Grandma Marley's. It used to be a vanity with a mirror in the 40's. Later it was passed down to Lane's Parents. My Mother in law used it as a t.v. stand in her bedroom. Last week she passed it down to us. I was so excited to get started on it. I stripped all the old paint and stain off of it. I defiantly inhaled too many fumes. Then I sanded that puppy smooth. Last but not least I painted it black and added new modern handles to it. I love the way it turned out. I'm using it as a buffet in my dinning room. It was really fun breathing new life into it. I'm so touched that Lane's parents gave it to us. Lane is always talking about his Great Grandma and how much he loved her. I'm thrilled that we can enjoy it and pass it down to our kid's someday.
