Distressing Furniture

The hubs and I have been blessed with families that unloaded their old furniture onto us when we moved out.  Which is actually kind of awesome because we saved lots of money.  But it's less awesome when the furniture is outdated and non-matching.  Luckily for us, I'm a thrifty DIY kinda gal!

I did some serious research (ahem) on Pinterest, and consulted my copy of the very 90's DIY paint book Debbie Travis Painted House (thanks Mom!).  And came up with this!

So..... 2013 Happened!

And I pretty much blogged about none of it!  Woops, sorry about that.

I expect 2014 to be much of the same sadly.  Especially because this is set to arrive in June...

And this little one will be 2 years old in a few weeks!

 
And this furry one will be 1 year old in a few weeks!

Wowzers, life just flies by!

I actually did a fair amount of sewing in 2013, I just didn't have time to take photos or to blog about it. Maybe I just need to do quick little posts with lots of photos via Instagram?  Peut etre.  I'll try and do better for 2014, ha!
