What a job!

So Brittany and I decided to get creative on a whim this evening. First of all it has been a really nice day. We have really worked as a team caring for our children (4 between the two of us.) Things worked so smoothly. And then we put the kids to bed and started working. My project is sanding, conditioning, and staining my new table I purchased at a garage sale. By the way, my old one is for sale if anyone is interested! Hint. Hint. I want the top to be very dark so it is going to take TONS of coats I think. I am trying to do it the right way, the patient way. It is so hard to do things that way. A few years ago I stained an end table of mine and instead of wiping of the stain I just smoothed it on and sort of made my own wood grain out of it. Sounds totally tacky but I actually like it. That would definitely not work with this project though! Britt is stripping the frame of these beautiful stained glass windows she has and then she is staining it dark. I will post pics when we are finished but right now I will show the before and the progress...




My sissi. :)


Before: I do NOT like this color or wood grain!

Where it's at right now. I have to wait 8 whole hours to add another coat! Aah!
