Happy Anniversary to Me!!!

The hubby and I celebrated our 6th anniversary yesterday! 6 years of bliss, 100 more to come!

We purchased my anniversary gift a few weeks ago - this yellow hutch in need of a transformation. I found it while walking downtown and window shopping at a used furniture store. We called in to check the price and have them measure it. It was the perfect size for my dining room and it was a steal at $84!

Sorry for the bad before pics. We had the hutch in mid-remodel house of my dad's and I didn't have enough room to get a full on pic.

The After!!!
We have one drawer that got unintentionally distressed by a contractor so we have to refinish it and I still need to put the hardware back on. I spray painted the original pulls flat black. They turned out great and it saved money reusing them!

A few treasures I have on it - these birds I found on sale at Michael's
This sweet spring wreath from Michael'sI used the same green paint as here. This green is called Acid Green by Kwal Paint. What a name, right?

Cutesie Cute Little Table

I decided to tackle a little side table that I've been meaning to paint for... let's see.... around 6 years! Yes, that's my procrastination at it's best! I wasn't sure what color to paint it but on a whim this week, I mixed a green up when I was at my dad's hardware store and got to work.

My dad picked this table up for me at an estate sale shortly after D & I got married (6 years in March!). I kind of liked the vintage look, but it really didn't fit in with my house. It's a sturdy table that I keep in a corner to hold some essentials in my dining room.

In the process of being sanded down

The finished table... do you like the paint color? I hope so because you're going to see it again on another project.
I'm getting used to the bright color - it's a little out of my usual black or white box. I love that it adds an unexpected spot of color in my dining room!

Edited: The color is Acid Green by Kwal Paint.
