Summer Projects

Now that we are finished with Winter Semester, we have a little more time on our hands. Burke is always thinking of creative things that we could make or do with old furniture...so we have a few projects to work on this summer. The one we are working on right now is a side-table. Burke went to DI one day and found this table for a great price so he bought is. I was a little skeptical because I didn't get to see it until he brought it home, but I loved it and we started on it right away.
We didn't like the current color so we stripped it and sanded it (yup right outside our little apartment...I am sure our neighbors are so sick of us). Now we are ready to paint as soon as we can decide on a color. The current handles are going to be replaced as well. We are having a lot of fun working on this together and it will be fun to see the finished project!!
