LIFES NEVER DULL georges thoughts

I have been asked so many times...."Whats it like living with "? So I asked to write this post.
Well, I could write a book but instead I will donate a brief chapter.
Moi.....in deep thought
Her mind never stops. I can watch her thinking about a piece for hours/days - what to do with it, how
 to approach it, colour choices, embellishments, knobs, spray or handpaint. When all of the pieces of
 the puzzle fall into place (in her mind).....shes off like a shot and almost unstoppable until she
 completes the task. It is a really fun process to watch and I am always amazed with the results. I often
 wish I had that talent to vision artistic results.
Did you know she can paint other things as well?
She approaches every thing as though she is going to keep it. Numerous coats of primer and several
coats of finish paint. All of this after repairs and paint stripping. Talk about patience! And I dont have
 that kind of patience. I say to myself "just throw a coat of paint on it and sell it". But no....That is not
*Miss Do It Rights* mode of operation.
Weve been together for 3 and a half years now.....second time for both of us. We made a promise that
 life will be easy and fun. It has been that and more.
Ok....so I have a mushy side
I really enjoy meeting s customers and followers. And if I brag a bit....well......Im entitled and
 proud. Life with is an adventure in itself.
This is Kasey (s daughter) we are good friends and she thinks I am funny most of the time.
The 3 of us spend some really nice times together.
Heres Kat having a drink of water along side the always present paint brushes. She is the most
amazing animal I have ever met! She has been with for over 10yrs and has helped her thru
some very tough times. I had to stand up to Kats approval when we were dating.
Holly (s one and only sister) and Me again.
These 2 sisters are very different but each share their strengths with the other.
is a lot like her father - very mechanically inclined.
It is interesting to see them talk, share ideas, and work together on something.
I love the fact that can do what she is passionate about and be close by. We are never far apart
and sometimes she asks me for an opinion. I always give it honestly even if I dont agree with her. We
 all have different views on what we like or what looks nice to our eyes....dont we? (I have learned
very quickly that interior decorating is not my strong point)
We have a few different interests but we support and respect each others. I can build a house (been
there, done that) but do not have the patience or talent for redoing furniture. I like some sports but
especially hockey and she has little interest. But....she has come to learn and watch some hockey with me.
I hope I have offered an insite into life with , if anything "life is never dull with ".

GEORGEs NEW LADY and the BEDSIDE white nightstand

Hanging out just down the road at one of those Saturday morning get togethers
*AKA* yard sale
Shes was a cheap date at only $2.70
With the rainbow of colors and vintage feel we have decided to finish the kitchen in,
she was destined to come home with us.
This is the before picture of the now COFFEE STATION.
Thats an old AC unit that started to smell very odd the last 2 yrs so it was removed.
Transition Period,
with the old coffee maker and vintage printers stamp drawer.
NEW and IMPROVED
She greets George every morning with his new coffee maker
and hot H2o system, for my tea.
On another note:
I finished off the perfect little bedside table.
Smooth white creamy finish.
White flower knobs on 3 drawers.
Its a great table made of solid pine.
This time around I didnt have to put feet on, it came this way.

MARBLE MASTERPIECE georges old dresser

The OLD WORLD style dresser is complete.
Well Im still going to lay a few more coats of poly on the top as long as it is here.
It has at least seven coats now but a few more wont hurt as
I want a nice glassy finished look to the faux marble top.
BEFORE               and                    AFTER
George and I got this dresser several years ago when we first started playing house,
and yes it was bright teal when we got it!
It now looks luscious but this makeover also has an in between photo.
At the time I had a full time job and a can of brown AURA paint by Benjamin Moore.
I put the embellishment on it and paired it with a mirror I found, painted it all and it served us well.
Since we redid our dressing room last year it really has not had a place here any more.
So it was time to move on and let it go to a home where it can be used again.
The Georgian style hardware I used was sprayed with OIL RUBBED BRONZE
from Rustoleum. Its a delicious metallic chocolate color.
And the part most of you are waiting to see ...
The faux painted marble top.
Long ago I learned to do this and did it very successfully
on my bathtub surround.
If I ever come across photos of it I will be sure to share.
One more surprise ...
The bright teal is also inside and still lining all the drawers.
How fun is that?
Traditional outside with a bit of fun inside.
The body color is ASCP old white with Minwax dark wax over top.
