i have bunches of projects staring me in the face right now, such as a beautiful antique bureau squatting in my basement, half sanded and asking "what color am i going to be?" every time i go down stairs to put a load of laundry in. and there's my kitchen table, scratched up and desperately in need of a color transformation and face lift. oh, i have ideas for that table! but summer is coming, warmer weather inspires me to drag furniture outside, run to the hardware store for sandpaper and have fun picking paint chips.
how do you feel about wood? do you prefer it painted (i do!), or stained, natural or not much at all? it's raining today in new england, i'm sitting at my scratchy kitchen table and considering the possibilities! enjoy!
