Yes, more projects

Projects seem to come in phases around here. I guess we (yes, mainly I) seem to get in the mood to get somethings cleaned up and get busy. This first project is one I've been wanting to do since we moved in, but just never gotten around to doing it. But alas, no more gross 80's faucets for us!! Check out how ugly it was!!

Wouldn't you agree, this is much, much better! Thanks babe for surviving a couple of days with a sore back for this much prettier faucet!

Next, is a project I tackled with my dad. Jared and bought this hutch when we bought our condo about 4 years ago. We got it for super cheap and it matched our table and fit all our china and stuff, so it worked. I never loved it and more recently I began thinking it was time to replace it. Well, that was going to cost lots of money! I gave up on the idea until I realized my friends hutch, which I absolutely loved was my ugly hutch in disguise. Yep, the exact same one!! So, I called up Daddy and he came down yesterday and helped me out!

When Dad re-saw the hutch and knew my plans (to make it cute and re-finish it red), he was doubtful it would work, but worth a shot. Now, my dad has re-finished tons of furniture in his day. Taken something yucky and made it beautiful. So, whatever he said would go! He decided we weren't going to sand it or stripe, just take a rag and go for it! That's what we did and 3 hours later, a little bit of paint, some spray varnish, new drawer knobs and $24 later, I had a beautiful new hutch!

Ta-da:

Thanks Dad! It was a great day & I love my "new" hutch!
