New Adventures

These last couple of months I have been taking up a few hobbies to keep me occupied before school starts again. My favorite thing has been turning old/beat up furniture into fun and interesting pieces. I have been LOVING it! Its so rewarding to find something free that no one wants and making it something beautiful again. These are the first two projects I did. I am currently working on a table and I hope to have it done before school starts next week... 

This was my first project! unfortunately I didn't take any before pictures, but just imagine a black/grey rusted, old bench. Kyle helped me sand the rust out and then I spray painted it this nice teal color.

 I couldn't help it! I had to put a picture up of the puppy :) 

My next project took sometime but it turned out amazing! During the move our coffee table got some of the paint chipped off and was in some desperate need of TLC. Again we sanded it down, and then painted the entire thing black. Next I found some comic books, cut them up and mod podged them on top of the table in a collage. Here are the before and after pictures... 

BEFORE

*Disclaimer: As a comic book collector it broke my heart to cut up comics, so I only cut up comics of little to no value :) 

AFTER

This picture was taken during the project. The table is huge so it took some time. 

It has been some much fun working on these projects! My entire life I have seen my grandfather make/redo old furniture and my grandmother paint the most beautiful things I have ever seen.  I see why they enjoy it so much and I hope one day to be half as great as they are! I love you guys :)
