All Finished

 We are back! The past month we had three great friends get married! We had a blast attending each of the wonderful weddings! Due to being so busy we put all house work on hold for awhile. We finally finished the guest bedroom last night. We really should call it the Goodwill room because that's where all the furniture came from. We have spent $50 on the dresser, $30 on the bed frame, $12 for the side table, $2.00 for the window over the bed, and $40 paint and hardware = $124.00 a new room!!

  The first project is one I have been wanting to do for while. My mom gave me this gift at my first wedding shower. The window is from my great-grandparents home before it was torn down. This is extremely special to me because I was really close to Great Grandmother. I added the picture of me and my dad on my wedding day across from mom and her dad on her wedding day. The bottom is my family's verse Jeremiah 29:11.

At Goodwill I found this beauty for $2.49 and I really wanted to do something neat with it.

I couldn't decide on a verse so I used a line from the song sang at our wedding. Love Never Fails by Brandon Heath.

Here is the final. I don't love it.. but it works in the room. When we hung it up it was hard to read the words so Clay suggested using the frosted spray paint on the back. I think it helped. 

Here is the other project we have been working on.

 

We wanted it to match the other furniture, so we painted it cream first. 

Then Clay added the glaze.

Right now our bed is a full and the headboard is a queen so Clay added a piece of wood on the bottom to accommodate the smaller bed.

Here is the finished room:

A garden update:

Three cherry tomatoes, 1 green bell pepper, and  lots of jalapenos is all we have grown so far. Something keeps eating my big tomatoes and I am not happy about that.. 

Hope everyone is having a great summer!!
