Of late, I have been feeling a little stressed. Now that I have a booth, I have to fill it. For the past 6 1/2 years, my only concern have been my kids and hubby. So, I have been adjusting. I'm trying to figure out how to balance searching for treasures and working to turn something into a treasure with caring for my family. So this must be what it feels like to be a working mom.
Speaking of turning something into a treasure. I found this little table at the Salvation Army. Originally, it was all black. Someone had painted over 3 strips of shelving paper. So, this is what it looked like after I stripped off the paper and paint.
Not too pretty, uh? I spray painted it Heirloom white. Cut out the roman numerals and words on contact paper with my Cricut for the stencil. After I painted on the numerals, I added a little glaze which picked up all the great imperfections with the table. Here is the close up.
This now has a spot in my booth. Hopefully someone will snatch it up because she can't live without it!

You are not alone. It is hard to find a balance. I have a booth too. Usually one thing suffers...either my booth or the blog. I try to always make time for my family. They are my heart!
ReplyDeleteThis table turned out amazing! The stain made it look like a real vintage clock! Great idea! I'm sure it will fly out of the store.
Have a wonderful Easter!

I love the table. The clock face is a great idea. Is it a full size like patio table or a small table? I know what you mean about how do all these bloggers do everything and they do it so well. I get stressed...I work from home and it is flexible but what I don't have is the extra space for projects so it gets spread out all over the house and that stresses me out.
