As many of you know, I've been away for over three weeks helping my daughter recover from some knee surgery, but I am back and ready to start working on the house again. I realize I'm way behind on photos, so let's see what I can do about that.
I know I didn't show you photos of my new fan/light.

I purposely chose white and simple for this room, because I just want it to blend with the ceiling as much as possible. This room will have plenty of pretty things to catch your eye.
Also, I FINALLY got the seats recovered on my four grey painted chairs. These chairs were ugly, dark wood with dark embroidered seats. They really make me happy now.

The table behind the chair is my coffee table. This table was so perfect, all I did was sand and whitewash the top and give it several coats of water-base poly. Looks fantastic. Will show you a closeup of the top shortly.
And here is a closeup of the table top. This photo makes it look quite orange, but the sanding and whitewashing I did took most of that out when you look at it IRL. It's just beautiful
I can't take too much credit for this little side table, since it was already elaborately painted and quite distressed when I bought it. All I did was a light sanding and some whitewashing to tone it down some. Also several coats of satin poly for durability and a light sheen.
In case you forgot the other two chairs I did, they look like this.
This last photo is the bench that goes with my mothers now-white vanity. I painted the wood white like the rest of the bedroom furniture, and then I painted the old fabric because I didn't feel like taking it off and starting over. This piece is going to be covered with a white, fake fur throw to give it a 30's glam look.
I still need to get a photo of my pretty coral desk. It's in a very awkward place in my garage, not very suitable for photos, but I'll see what I can do. It's also quite heavy to move!
Lots of progress was made on the house while I was gone, but nothing that really lends itself to exciting photos. We did start laying down the floor yesterday and will soon have photos of that for you. I also have a few more furniture items I'd like to paint before I get all involved in packing, but we'll see how that goes. The dining table is the main thing and two dressers that could be painted later, as well, but I'd rather not. We'll see how much help Jim needs from me on the floor laying.
