A New Project

Well, I have been working on fixing up my bedroom...it's taking longer than I thought. Gonna do the painting this weekend. But this a project of a different color ( so to speak ). While shopping at the Habitat for Humanity Store in Leesburg a few weeks ago, I noticed a table top standing over in a corner. I checked it out and it was very pretty and only 5 dollars. And...it was only a table top with no base...so I didn't buy it. We went on to visit with Joan and Tony and went to their Easter presentation of the Passion. We had a great time but for some reason I just couldn't get that table top off my mind. This was on a Saturday and we went through Sunday and I just couldn't stand it anymore and I called Tony and asked him if he would mind going back out there and getting it for me. It was already 5 PM, so I told him it could wait until Tuesday. Well, he didn't get back out there until Thursday and he finally found it hidden by some rolled carpets. Yeah! I was talking to him on the phone and guiding him to it and for a few we thought it was gone. Joan called a few minutes later and said Jen, the table isn't 5 dollars, it's 25! I was fixing to say well, I don't care, buy it anyway and she said, No, I'm just joking, it's beautiful, I want it too. We went over to Leesburg the following Saturday ( cause we had to anyway to pick up some plants at Home Depot ) and picked up the table too. This is it below.

The pic on the bottom is more the true color of the wood. I can't wait to get started on the bottom. I have it designed in my mind. It's only a 30" across table, so it's kinda small, but that's OK 'cause I'm trying to downsize some things anyway. Our apartment is not very big and with all this really big stuff...well, you guessed it...it looks over stuffed. I will try to post pictures as I progress with the transformation of the table.
