The Virus, The Coffee Table, The Table, Chili
Such a bad time in
the worlds history.
We all know it, we
are all facing it.
The young lady, the
bride, I worked with her
at the Blind School.
Her Dad (older man
in blue on the end)
has the virus. Her,
hubby and mom have
been exposed. They were
treating Dad from home
till the day before yesterday.
He got where he would
not response. He was
taken to ER while his
family sat in the car. Yes,
its that bad. Anyway, report
yesterday said he is doing
some better.
Today is Jenny's bday
also.
I normally do not have
a coffee table. My living
room was just a tad more
narrow then it is at this
house. I decided it would
be nice to have one, and
BAM, moms cedar chest
was still sitting there.
Not a fan of the finish.
This is how mom painted it
years ago when those kits
came out for antiquing
furniture. You would
paint the item a base coat
then dry brush another
color lightly over the base
coat.
This was dry brushed with gold.
The back was never painted
cause it sat up next to the wall.
Primed and painted.
Yep, top is not done yet
but like the piece I am
working on in the kitchen
I will cover it with
tongue and grove wood.
I will stain that wood.
Back is painted now.
And this is also great cause
I have stored blankets and throws
inside and out of sight.
Had this little table that
mom had in the basement.
It actually belonged to
my granny. Mom stripped
it years ago and then never
did anything else with it.
She had laundry detergent
sitting on it.
And this is what happen
due to the detergent.
Same primer and
paint.
Table is going to the garage
in a bit and the top will be
sanded, then I will stain and
seal it.
Since the island in the kitchen
has been primed, I think I will
work on painting it next.
Top is done except the sealing.
Sort of holding off on the finish
of this till I get the doors made.
Holding off on that cause I
still have stuff stored in
the garage and I don't
want to throw saw dust all
over and its just way to cool
to do it outside.
I did make it over
to the other house
yesterday and painted
over there some.
COOL....yes, cool.
So much so I made a
pot of chili. Got all the
way through winter without
making any, probably been
a couple of years. DINNER
is ready.

I feel for your friend's family. This is pretty grim and I think it will get worse. Please stay well.
We have two cedar chests here; one was Mom's, and the other she and Dad had given to my daughter. There are so many things stored in them; one day I'll go through my mother's again. I have dance costumes from when I was a child, etc. And, my parent's letters from back during war time.
You're been busy, yet I sure hope you don't over do it.

Have a fabulous day and stay well. ♥
Chili sounds nice!
Thanks for the encouragement with the words on paper.
Thank you for visiting me and for your sweet comment.
Blessings,
