FINALLLY! BEFORE/AFTER items!

Thanks for sticking with me - the weather has not been great here in Bama (rainy & cold) and I had a marketing project with a family member that took me away a while. I am back and despite the weather got a few thing taken care for ME!
Remember the post here, all the pieces that needed some {painted fresh} love?  Well take a look now!
This was the hutch:

In my store ready to go home with someone!

So what do you think about the WHITE?  I like it and enjoy using white; mainly I use Ralph...but my supply is getting low.  And occasionally 'Country White' from Wal-Mart.

WHAT WHITE DO YOU USE on furniture/walls/other projects??

Thanks for visiting! Hope you leave comments and an answer to the WHITE question!

OWLove ya fa-evah...

Ok, so maybe the title isn't as catchy as I would have liked...ok smartypants, YOU come with one!
But you have to admit, this little big owl has some personality. And don't ya love a good personality?!
I spotted this big guy from my car as I drove up to a garage sale (last year) and took a somewhat 'uninterested, just walking past him, ya know, to get to ummm, other ummmm, interesting things' glance at him then up at the garage sale hostess who was certainly watching my eye (could she tell I sooo wanted him?)!  I did get a few things and finally inquired about Mr. Owl.  Ceramic, made from a mold, fired & painted by an aunt or cousin in 1976 or 1978 as indicated on the bottom.  Made my offer and loaded Mr. Owl and my other items in the car and could hardly wait to get a can of spray paint in my hands!!!  Not a chip on this guy, and did I tell you he just has the {bEsT} personality?!

AFTER

 Look at how much happier he is with my {PAINTED FRESH} love sprayed all over him!!

Your comments really make me smile!  Go ahead, take a moment, leave a comment for me!
