i am linking up to little miss momma's i spy today.

first off, she is so precious. love her blog. check it out.

this is my attempt at showing you what you can spy at our home.

i spy the best dog ever. millie.

if you have been here before, you know her and her antics.

i spy a cross to remind us of what Jesus has done for us.

it was handmade from wildflower wax.

[if you can't tell, the heart has Christ on it]

i spy our canvas from luo our friend's missions organization that helps children in poverty.

i spy my lovely kitchen assistant. love this little guy.

i spy lots and lots of books.

this is probably about a tenth of the books we have.

thanks for taking a tour of the highlights of our little townhouse.

finally finished.

what seems like ages ago, i got this chair at the thrift store. i posted about it so that i would fell the urgency to actually finish working on the chair...and it worked. i have felt like i let my blog readers down. BUT i finally finished TODAY!

Here is the "before"

And the "after"...SO excited about the chair :)

I got some frustrations out while sanding...

Then used our sewing machine for the first time to cover the cushion...

And got my spray paint on...

Thank you clearance aisle of Hobby Lobby for the $2.00 spray paint. Seaside Green--not very green, but I adore it :)

Now the hard part, trying to figure out the best place to put her!

i hope this turns out.

Last week, I bought this chair at a local thrift store. I got it for $5...woo-hoo! But I am pretty sure the person who donated it used black craft paint, it was peeling and the finish was strange--yes, that is the best description i have :)!


I have resisted posting it on the blog, but decided to do it so I have some accountability to finish it this year. I have sanded it down a little bit and the black paint isn't really going anywhere. So I guess I will be priming and painting lots of coats! Still working on covering the seat.

Hope to finish soon and present her to you!
