We have the corner bedroom painted and basically done, just need to hang the new bedroom door. The spare bath is done. The guest room is 1/2 done. The master bedroom is primed, the bath is still as is.
Those are the updates. Now to what I've been getting yelled at for:
We got a nice 6-seater dining room table set from my dad's family friend. Its an old table from probably the 70's. Solid wood, scroll work on the drop "skirt" of it, and on the backs of the chairs. Its a great table, that need needs an update!
Josh has yelled at me to leave it alone, the wood grain makes a "star burst" pattern in the center of the table when its a circle (it also has a leaf to add to make it oval for more people).
My mom has yelled at me because I'm not listening to Josh about not painting it, and that his opinion counts.
We had our old apartment neighbors over for dinner over the weekend, I told them my plans and they yelled at me because the table is true "Americana work" and that I would ruin it.
Go ahead people keep yelling at me to NOT paint it, that just makes me want to paint it even more! It's old. I knew the lady that owned it. I needs an update. It doesn't go with our decor. It needs a simple update. I'm not painting it pink or anything. I want to paint the top of it white. Then the scroll pattern is being plastered over and sanded smooth, on the table "skirt" part it will be painted gold. The chairs, the top piece with the scroll will be painting white, then the bottom part under the "rods" will be gold, and the legs of the chair will be white and gold "dipped".
I'm not taking a saw to it! (not that I wouldn't like to). There is still plenty of the original wood being untouched.
I will let you know about the progress, this isn't something that is going to happen tomorrow. It's a planned project for the next few months.
We'll see if it grows on me during that time span (doubtful)
