I hope you had a good weekend!  And happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there.  We finally saw the sun in our part of the world, which was nice after a week of gray skies and rain.  I’m hoping it gets all of the rain out of its system, so it’s nice and dry for Lucketts.  I know it doesn’t work that way, but still… As I said we would, my mom and I worked on in the studio on Saturday.  We make a great team and were able to get a lot accomplished.  I upholstered two chairs, made a bedskirt and rearranged the furniture and smalls that are going to Lucketts.  The pile was getting a little (a lot) out of control. My mom packed breakables like ironstone and glass cloches and jars while I worked on the sewing, upholstery and furniture scooting.  (Thank goodness most

I was done buying furniture, but my friend Traer offered this old wash stand to me at such a great price that I couldn’t refuse.  It’s sort of like fitting in dessert after a big dinner.  It’s just a little piece of furniture, so we can find room for it! The finish was pretty messed up and it was dirty and lost its luster, so painting it was an obvious solution. This was another tag-team project in the studio.  Kriste’s friend Leslie, who’s done some organizing for us in the studio, was hanging out with us for the day, so we put her to work.  Turns out, that meticulous organizing translated very well to tidy painting, so I told her she can come paint any time she wants to! Kriste applied the second coat, we worked together on the distressing, and then applied matte Tough Coat to seal the chippy areas.
