Refurbished

My sweet Granny died last year at the wonderful old age of 94.  She was such a big party of my life.  I have never met a more sweet and humble lady.  She was special!!

When it was time to choose our sentimental memento from her house before it was sold, I knew exactly what I wanted.  I held my breathe and prayed no one else wanted it.  Thankfully it was available and I was able to bring it home!!



I just love it.  It's been on my Granny's porch my whole life and was a big part of my mother's as well.  I thought it was beautiful just the way it was but because of years of neglect, it had become very rusty.  I decided to white wash it with some Rustoleum paint.  I wanted it to still look old but give it a bit of a face lift.


Here it is refurbished.  I looks really good on my front porch just like it did at Granny's and hope my kids will enjoy it as much as I did as a child.

I just stumbled on your blog after hitting Next Blog on my page a couple of times. As a fellow blogger, I like to see what others are blogging about. From the description on your bio, you sound like a last born child. I know the portrait.... I am one too.

You have a very cozy way of writing and sharing. I will have to dig more. I really like the bench. That is a treasure.

Wow that's AWESOME!!!Hey thanks for your encouragement. Just knowing someone else wants to pull their hair out is somehow therapeutic. BA HA! Seriously I can't imagine having a foster 4 year old with an adopted 2 year old. Just having to figure out one is SO HARD! Hang in there;)
