More furniture projects completed

Here are some more pics of furniture projects I've recently completed. I am having a blast doing this. I don't think work is supposed to be this much fun.

This first piece was an oil stained work bench. It was already painted red but it sure looked good after I stained it with walnut stain and added a couple of pip berry garlands (country mercantile - black, tan and burgundy colored berries)

This piece must have been a school craft desk judging by all the gum I scraped off the bottom.

This chair was used at Sun Valley Resort. It was painted an industrial bright orange but was very sturdy. I recovered the cushion and painted black primer over the orange, then used the sander to sand back some of the black to get back to the orange. Added a pip berry garland with colors of orange, black and dark green and I think it looks pretty good.

This desk was fun to do and turned out very nicely.

And for the final selection for this blog additive, this is a table we picked up at a yard sale. I like mustard and black together.

Fair Time

Fair Time is always the most fun when you can go with the grandkids while they ride the carnival rides.

Ashlynn found a little friend to ride with her:

Jaedan went on this ride by himself and didn't like it very well so he convinced Nanna to ride with him. He still didn't like it very well and Grandma had to cover his eyes a few times. They didn't realize how lucky they were sitting where they were. A teen boy a couple of rows in front of them lost his stomach contents. Kids in the back row were heard groaning in disgust and wiping fluids and bits and pieces off their faces but Nancy and Jaedan escaped without getting slimed!

We went to the petting zoo and this very friendly goat wanted to be included in the picture. If anyone asks, he takes after Nancy's side of the family.
