Yesterday was our first great Christmas vacation day. We did projects and watched movies. Richard worked on a 550 piece puzzle with the kids (they helped in 5 minute spurts throughout the day.) It was our second daughter's wish and he did it to please her. That is some serious commitment and patience if you asked me. When it was done they glued it so she could hang it up in our new house.
I did two projects that I have wanted to do for a long time. The first was staining our table that I sanded down five years ago. I never could decide how I wanted to do it. Well, I just decided to go with a cherry stain and I love how it looks. The kids keep commenting on how it looks like a new table.
The second project was painting some dressers I got a year ago. The two pictured here are for the girls' room which I am trying to furnish with white or light stained wood. It was crazy doing my first painting project here in Oregon. It is so humid that things took three times longer to dry. In the picture I can see that the top of one dresser is still not dry and it has been 12 hours. Crazy wet!!

I LOVE seeing other people's projects! Good for you! I have a half sanded table in the garage that I need to finish but I don't know what color. We also have a half finished wood floor. I have begun taking pictures of my projects, but I have yet to post them because they are never getting done!
Mike's brother lived in Oregon for a while. They said they dropped some bird seed on the ground outside and pretty soon it started sprouting. We were living in Las Vegas at the time and couldn't even fathom that kind of humidity! I love the kitchen table!!
WOW!!! You guys were BUSY! I bet it was fun doing all of that together. I LOVE the table by the way!
That table looks so good.
