I was recently invited to join the wonderful addictive world of Pinterest. It pretty much stole a good 4 hour block of my day yesterday! So many craft ideas, all loaded on to one easy to read page :)
Anyway, I thought I'd share a little more about my newest project (even though I should be working on calligraphy!! I will today...I think.) I found the top of an old table out in the desert at an abandoned house. I also found an awesome end table with all of the legs nearby but that project will have to wait. My goal for our trip into the middle of nowhere was to find something to make a headboard out of. Doors or shutters would have been awesome but I think the table I found will work nicely too. Here's a picture:
This is basically how I found it, I did remove a few scraps of old carpet that were attached for some reason. It still has some of the shiny finish on it and after trying to sand it by hand for a while I've realized I might need an electric sander for this. I also hope I can get that oily spot out!
I've been searching for cute quotes or sayings to paint on it. Pinterest is really helping me out there! I'm going for something about love and so far I like "Who would we be without each other's love", "Our love is a journey starting at forever, ending at never", and "Faith makes all things possible, Hope makes all things work, and Love makes all things beautiful". Soon as I get this thing sanded I can get the words on there. I'll post an update when it's finished :)
