<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">i guess i just get so caught up in everything else that i have going on..sometimes things can be overwhelming...i have a lot on my plate so to speak...it has really taken a toll on me in the past 2 weeks...i often have the feeling of giving up...saying goodbye to the furniture resto business...i know i wouldn't be happy though...so i just go a few days without doing anything...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">i picked up this dresser from a friend of mine that was selling on facebook....i got a very good deal on it because she was almost to the point of giving it away i think...just needed the room...the best part is that it was 2 pieces...i still have the mirror but haven't decided if i'm painting it...i was in such a hurry to get the bottom part done that i just put the mirror aside...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">my kids have a way with me...they are always wanting me to paint something for them...i feel bad and give in...this for for the 11 year old...the one that didn't have enough room for her clothes...the one that promised to keep her room clean if i painted it for her...shall i post some pics? i mean pics of the dirty room...no, i won't because that will only double embarrass me....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">i've wanted to paint a piece of furniture since the day i first saw it on pinterest...i think i've read very single post that i could find...after almost a year, i finally made up my mind..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">i decided to use fabric medium to mix with my paint..the chair was only $10 so i didn't have much to lose...it also had a broken spring so if it didn't work then i wasn't out alot of money...i felt like this was the cheapest way to go</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">i purchased my fabric medium from hobby lobby...i mixed it in with some paint that i already had..it was hard for me to decide on a color..i picked gray because i felt it would cover the color without alot of coats... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">i used a small brush to apply the paint...i worked in very small areas so it would soak into the pattern...i didn't saturate it though...it almost covered with one coat...i only had to go back and touch up a few spots...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the wood was painted with homemade chalk paint...after it dried i distressed it lightly... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">based on how the chair feels, i know that i didn't mix enough of the medium into the paint..its basically for looks though, so it shouldn't be a problem..i'm sure the cat will enjoy a new place to nap...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">this post really has two meanings...by the end you will understand why i'm saying that...its about a painting/drawing/picture that my son gave me for christmas...i usually only post things that i've made or done on here...but i felt that this deserved a special spot on my blog...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">i developed a fondness for skulls a long time ago...it was before they were really cool...before people were so into them...i have no idea why i like them so much...i'm just a normal girl, or at least i think so...others may beg to disagree...i like all kinds...big ones, scary ones, sugar skulls, girly ones with pink bows...so just imagine...christmas morning my son brings this out...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">i always knew my son had talent...he picked up his first drum sticks when he was about 5 and started beating on a cardboard box...i have a picture of him...sitting there in his underwear and a t-shirt...he is 20 now...he has been playing ever since...i can't count how many broken sticks i've thrown away...or how many countless hours i've had to endure the noise...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">sometimes i fall off the wagon...i hate when that happens because i get that sort of depressed feeling and i don't want to do projects...then i get a swift kick in the behind and it all comes back...so that is my reason for lack of posts...</span></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and finally the third pair...i got them for $1.00 after a semi trade on facebook...they are also the aero boyfriend cut...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
