A few of my favorite things

With the weather cooling, I find when I work outside on painting trash, the kids follow.

My mom rides by on her bike.

One of the perks of selling trash is the joy of working from home. I’m with my family while making money.

I was here when Mayer lost his first tooth.

A labor of love, I finally finished painting the china hutch for a client of mine.

Here’s the before

And after.

I love how it turned out.

I put a lot of hours into this piece, but it was worth it.

Redoing furniture is new to me, so it really built my confidence.

A few of my other favorite trashy things?

This enormous office hutch.

It was too big to fit into my Honda Pilot, so I looked around the thrift store parking lot.

I saw a lady who liked really nice getting out of a truck and asked if she'd delivery the office hutch to my home for $20.00.

I really don't have a problem talking to strangers.

This little Kidscraft kitchen I found at Goodwill for $30.00 has been the hit of the week.  

Eden can't get enough.

On the same visit to Goodwill, I found this adorable toy box for $20.00.

Around here, toy boxes turn into hiding places.

We have several of them.

I found this vintage end table for $15.00 and had to have it.

Another piece to practice on

and it turned out great.
