You know how you just have those weeks? Those months?
You’re just plugging along, and wham! It’s time for surgery. Wham! Time to make the hour trek back to the ER 5 days after surgery. Oh, you thought you’d be better by now? Well, sorry, but we (the sickies) don’t work for you. Back to ER again. Admitted. Wham!
I am home, and thank each of you for your sweet comments and emails. I’m trying to be okay with not being okay.
We hope to take a family trip to the beach over the next week, and I’m praying desperately I make it. It’s hard to rest at home, ya know? The LIST is on my brain, nagging me constantly.
While I recoup & recover, I thought I’d show you a little project I worked on last week, in between hospital visits.
This little telephone table had tons of potential, but it was a little sad and crying for a coat of paint!
So, that’s what the delicate flower got!
It’s so boho-chic to me now, and I know it’ll find the perfect little funky home soon!
I couldn’t wait to pop open a can of Florence, and it didn’t disappoint..such a fun, fresh color!
To highlight some of the detailing, I applied a little gilding wax (we’ll carry this in our shop soon!) with my finger, only applying here and there so it seemed loose and not too stuffy.
Oh, and there’s a little sneak peek of what was going on in the writing room last week before all the hospital drama. We’ll get back to it and show you the updates soon!
Wow! That is a gorgeous shade of turquoise. I just love it and the little bits of gold are modern and fresh. I say it’s Perfectly Perfect!
hehe, thanks Tanya!

That is just the sweetest little table EVER!
Thanks, Marty! It is a great little size–I kinda want to pinch its cheeks.

God knows what will happen every morning when you get up and every night you go to bed. He decides our living and breathing.
I’m just a new blogger but I already feel the pressure of making sure I get enough projects done, so I imagine you might feel pressured too. Don’t. We will be happy to wait for your smiling face to be up and at em again. Rest.
Oh – and I’m a blue – so I love the color!

Thank you, Deb. I used to feel that pressure a lot–God has taught me quite a lot about blogging for others and blogging for myself (& pride)…you are spot on and I KNOW that He will bless you (& your blog) for your sweet spirit!!

So cute!! Love the color!! Glad you are home!! Rest up & get well for that beach trip!! You definitely deserve it girl!!
So Adorable, Great Job!
Hoping you are felling better, and resting up! It’s amazing how much we take good health for granted. I had some balance issues earlier in the year – so hard to not be in control! Best wishes that you make it to the beach! Also, adorable table. Such a fun color!
Love this colour. It looks very different towhen Annie uses it ith dark wax. Still wishing and waiting for ASCP to come to Australia!
Hope you are feeling much better

The table is awesome I’m really wanting to do a chalk paint project, I’ll contact you when things are better. I was once in the hospital for a week with a kidney infection with a 1 yr old on Christmas! That was fun ! take care of yourself and get well soon! Vitamin C is great for curing kidney infections you might try it
I feel your pain…I too get kidney stones. After much research it is caused by (gasp!) my beloved Iced Tea!! Hope you feel better soon & they are gone & stay that way. B.U.T.Ful table!!
“Be still & know that I am God”. I am praying that the voices “whispering for paint”, and deadlines, & every other demand for your attention will be silenced, so that you can rest in the arms of the Great Physician and just heal, dear girl! Just rest, rest, & rest some more. And let the fam pack for the vacation! Yup– and if all that’s packed is swimsuits & pjs & toys everyone will not only survive–you’ll all have FUN & REST! ps: I may not be old enough to be your mom, but this mom/RN and sister in Christ just felt you may need to hear this, sweet Shaunna.
Beautiful shade of green!!! I hope your beach trip is fantabulous & you start feeling like yourself again soon! God Bless<3
A telephone table is awesome. It is really unique by design. Great!!
Such a darling piece and cute color. So sorry to hear about the hospital visit and re-visit … but a trip to the beach is plenty motivation for a speedy recovery!
And I love that you have a “writing room” … sounds divine!

This table, like your website is so inspirational! Thank you for sharing, and all the work you do. I know that our lives are so busy, but you take time to show us how you fit it all in. And have fun with it all at the same time.
I am new to your site, and look forward to browsing it, looking at your projects, and reading new posts.
Take care,
Christina
Lovely!!!
