Apparently tomorrow is the big DUE DATE (OMG)! We've been waiting for this day for so long and I can't wait for little Billie to arrive. She has been moving like CRAZY lately and I'm convinced that we have a wild one on our hands. My belly is stretched to the limit and these last few days are definitely an emotional roller coaster. I'm getting a little bit grumpier after each day passes and am afraid that she's going to continue to take her time in there and not come out for another week or so!! Which just doesn't make any sense to me as I think she'll like us and life outside my cramped womb. :) I'm really hoping to have a natural birth and would be very upset if I had to get induced, so fingers crossed that something happens VERY SOON!
In the meantime, we're just trying to stay busy...and I think we've done a pretty good job of that. I finished painting the top of this lovely console storage cabinet yesterday, which is now up for grabs in Denver (see my Etsy shop and Craigslist post for details).
This is my favorite piece of furniture! I hate to give it up but we have to clear things out for the baby-on-the-way.
I painted the top turquoise and added an original branch and floral design in white. I antiqued the surface and gave it some clear protective wax.
There are eight small drawers and three cabinets...making it the perfect piece of furniture for an entry way or small dining room.
The bottom portion has a white-wash finish and is a beautiful gray color.
I wasn't the only one getting crafty yesterday. My husband, Matt, has gotten on the crafty bandwagon himself. I never in my life thought I'd see him modge podging while watching football and drinking beer on a Saturday...and I love it!
Several months ago I purchased some antique looking golf clubs at Goodwill thinking they would look nice on our media room walls. Of course, Matt has is own super creative ideas for the golf clubs and ran with them. He created a beautiful shadow box in which the golf clubs are suspended.
He stained the wood dark brown and added a nice trim to the outer rim. He also added pages from Harvey Penick's Little Red Book (a famous golf read) to the background and trim using Modge Podge and we suspended the clubs with finishing line (which was a complete nightmare, but worth it).
I love how the track lighting hits the shadow box perfectly!
We decided to add the little red book to the center to add a pop of color and it looks perfect above our TV!
Well, that's all for today...we're off to distract ourselves from this waiting game. Happy Sunday!
