lost & found

one of my sweet friends recently got married

and wanted to redeem

a dining table & some chairs 
for their little home.
{they were practically free for julie. 
a woman after my own heart}

so we got a chance to work on them

yesterday. my first full day of

painting in quite a while.

so...

here they were, somewhat lost & not as put together

and here they are found. 

beautifully & wonderfully new.

it is amazing what some sanding, painting
and staining will do.
{julie, look at you & your painting skills!
and don't worry, the shiny-ness of the chairs
is the dew from the morning. not the patina.}

amongst painting these,

we found some time to 

make a dresser & bookcase like new, too.

cannot wait to show you the pieces 

in their new home.

i love you julie.

and i'm excited to eat at your 
new table!

i hope you all have a spectacular thursday.
