Work on It Sunday!

Today was Work on It Sunday. I got a few of the projects I've been putting off, I started today. The first was refinishing an old sewing machine table. I got out my brand new Milwaukee orbital sander and started to sand that puppy down. The only issue I ran into was sanding the legs. I think I'll need to get a corner sander or just use some good ol' elbow grease with a sanding block. I plan on painting it when I'm finished. I'm haven't narrowed down colors yet, though. I will post pictures when I'm finished!






















I also cleaned up and started to paint this little yellow lamp that I want to put in my beachy living room. I bought it when I went home to Wisconsin for $3.50 from St. Vincent DePaul's. I chose a Brushed Metallic Carmel Latte color by Krylon.




















I started painting it, then realized it was about 92 degrees outside, not ideal for paint to dry. It started to run a little, so I stopped. I will let it dry and sand it a little tomorrow and try again. Today the thermometor in the car read 102 degrees on the way home from lunch! Ugh! I hate these high temps!

The heat has been good for our tomato plant that I bought about a month and a half ago, though. It started with one little one, that is slowly turning red and over the last few weeks we've had 5 or 6 little ones start to grow!














The good thing is that my trusty cat sat at the door and watched me work and when I came inside to the nice 75 degree air conditioned kitchen I could breathe in the sweet cool air!




















Design Star is on in two hours. All in all it was a nice productive Sunday <3

EDIT:

PS...I went to ACE Hardware this weekend to look for that Bordeaux Red. They don't have it in stock yet. Darn Pottery Barn for getting my hopes up! The man at the hardware store said it would be maybe mid-September before they have it in.
