nightstand and a surprise project

Saturday was unsure if it should be sunny, only occasional brief moments had a glimpse of the sun. Britt was off to work for 10 as I enjoyed a coffee and catch up via phone (rare thing I know) with a great friend. My morning project cannot be revealed at this time as it may be a gift ;) I also set up the big chunky coffee table ready to paint.
The afternoon I finished it up and while drying I went out to deadhead peonies, shrubs and water planters. The horses got their feed as well. I answered many inquiries after posting Baby for sale on another site. Hopefully the right person sees one of the posts/posters and is that one.
The recent nightstand I scored got a scrubbing and the drawer holes filled. When it dried I started painting it, my french blue with medium distressing. At the last minute I decided that the knobs I was going to use did not suite it so grabbed the cast iron pulls I bought and they fir perfect, out came the hole plugs.



Britt got home from work, had some snacks, showered up and was off to the city. Tonight they are celebrating Shaina's birthday and Britt is now legit to join, have fun girls!! She is staying the night too.. uber fun time.

Gorgeous night, the sun was shining and little wind so out I went, walking the usual troupe, filling horse water as we went, once back around I tossed a bale to all the poor actually starving now ponies and filled the mineral/salt tubs. These nights are just perfect with horses quietly eating, cats sunning themselves, the sky a brilliant sun setting color wash... oh yes then Lola racing around ;)
my fancy bracelet.. ok actually just hauling it from the gate where Sheldon left it back to the house

Back to the garage to sand the nightstand top repair and paint it up and distressing the drawer that was now dry. Sure felt good to get back at projects. Hopefully the dresser is picked up tomorrow so I can get painting the big coffee table.
