fancy steps on the dresser & stock

Did I mention I am pretty stiff since Sundays trims? ;) Well today I plan to do more when Britt comes out but after a healthy smoothie no coffee I got painting. The end table was distressed  and dark wax added and all put back together. I put another coat of stain on the top too. I can't haul it in alone so will wait for some extra hands.

I started the jumbo dresser giving in a chocolate wash.. UGH this is like glaze.. so hard for an OCD perfectionist painter but I finally let go of perfect and went with it.

 

I was finished up and in for a quick late lunch as Britt and Cooper rolled in at 1:30. She left him and was off to an appointment in town for 2. He loved the mud and water we have everywhere as it is PLUS 7. I did get him in though and in his kennel so I could head back out and do the dry brushing on the dresser.

A good customer dropped off a stool to have painted like the boho one I did and she is buying. She also dropped a dresser and jewelry box off to be painted too. As well she gave me 2 old chairs, 2 window frames, a bench and an antique end table, which were going to be burned if I did not want them!!! yes please

B was back after 4 and went and caught Pepper with Switch and Roo freelancing their way to the barn too. I trimmed Pepper while B worked with Roo then trimmed Switch. Only 1 and half to go.

B takes the easy way back

and these 2 man themselves to get to the barn LOL

We finished around 6 and ad I was cooking supper rain rolled in. Crazy. It let up when Britt and Cooper headed home after 7. I jumped in the shower quick before meeting alady to pick up a kids rocker at the Glenmore intersection before 8. It started to rain again as I did. The road is a sloppy mess but they say freezing temps on the way and snow ;(.
