Prayers for William

 

 

 

This week I have a special post. We are asking for prayers for our 3 year old great nephew, William. He is the son of Tami and Jason Babcock and grandson of Dale (Squeak) and Janel Sudbeck. William was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome which means the left side of his heart was critically underdeveloped at birth. On Wednesday, September 23rd, William will undergo his third open heart surgery at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. Please pray for William, his family, and all of his medical team today, tomorrow, and in the weeks to come. Thank you!

Don and Wendy Sudbeck

 

 

 

 

 

Graphite Dresser with Galvanized Metal Top

It's been three weeks since my last post. Ikr! I missed you, too. Hey, what can I say? Sometimes LIFE gets in the way of blogging.

#1. My sister was in town over Labor Day weekend.
#2. My husband broke his leg and had to have surgery to repair it.
#3. Our garden is in full swing with tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, egg plant, watermelon, broccoli, and zucchini, and the master gardener is currently out of commission.

I may not have been able to blog lately, but I'm happy to report our freezer is full of fresh vegetables from the garden and the canning room has 100+ jars of pickles and tomatoes in neat little rows. Don? He's feeling better. Thanks for all the well wishes, phone calls, texts, and visits! He's starting to succumb to the realization that he will need to be off his feet for the next three months. #nohunting#nowork#ugh.

So now are you ready to see what I made for myself before LIFE got crazy around here? Well, here's a before pic of my latest conquest. I bought the dresser online for $30, then 'restyled' it with a coat of ASCP Graphite, some vintage hardware, and a galvanized metal top.

Here's the finished product.

Well, what'cha think?

I love it.

I never get tired of Graphite! Ever.

I think it looks great with the old maple wood showing through.

Don't ya think?

The industrial look of the galvanized metal top is just perfect for our cabin.

If I ever get tired of it in our bedroom
maybe I'll put casters on it and use it in the kitchen?

Or maybe I could use it as a console table behind the red couch?
Eww, that would be cool!
I'll have lots of options with this one.

Again, thanks for being so patient with me. It's good to be back! Let me know if there are any pieces in your home that you would like 'restyled' with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I'd be happy to help!
