Beauty's Senior Pics
I have not taken my camera out for a very long time! Beauty asked for a few pics! We will take her senior pictures at a few parks and she would like some urban pictures taken in the city but these were on our property at the house. I have really enjoyed the beauty of our place here in St. Louis. It is always fun with her infront of my lens.
I can't wait until we take some head shots!!

Suicide
I'm back tracking a bit in time! October 2nd was such General Conference we were able to watch the Saturday session but recorded the Sunday session because our family attended a funeral of the Mr.'s co-worker's son, Adam. Her son had struggled a year ago and was working through things and doing well. He had depression and Sunday, they laid his body to rest. He committed suicide.
It prompted a good conversation with our children. We wanted them to know that there is nothing that they could do that should even bring to mind taking their lives. We know life is hard and offers trials that seem overwhelming. We let them know that sometimes there will be pain so great that you may think it easier to die. Do not entertain such thoughts. Do not dance with the devil. For these thoughts are from him.
We all attended such a lovely service but it was so heart breaking to hear such audible sadness. They were not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, they were of another faith. I felt for them. I ached for them too. However, they do believe in a life after. Suicide leaves the living left with feelings of guilt, what if, could of, should of.
It brought questions to my mind. Is it a Latter Day Saint thing? I have always heard that the Lord will not give you more than you can handle. Where is that written, who said that? And, is it because I heard that and was told that I know that my trials are able to be overcome? Clearly, his trials were more than he could handle. Did someone not tell him? I DEFINITELY believe and understand that our life is a GIFT it is not for us to TAKE it is only our Father in Heaven's. I know there have been members of the church who have committed suicide. There trial was more than they could bare. I know the Lord has the perfect plan. I know He will be the only one who will offer us his saving mercy.
Adam's passing allowed us to re-itterate to our children our love, our Savior's love and the glorious gift of the atonement and all that it entails! I too, wrote that day to our son, who was serving his mission and bore to him my testimony of the gospel.
I let him know, as I testified to our other children that there is nothing that they could do or say that would keep us from loving them. There is nothing that our family could not get through together that would warrant such a drastic and permanent answer. Yes, there would be disappointments, yes there may be tears but in the morn hope would arise and faith would go forth. They may face trials that may seem or appear overwhelming and too much. Remember who they are. Get on bended knee and plead for our Father's help. Help will come. It will come in impressions to your mind and to your heart, it will come from the voice of others, it will come through service. It is important to look for these answers in others. I just want them to know that our Father will never leave them alone. Satan will place horrible thoughts of doubt and guilt into your minds and have you believe that no one will love you, that you are a big disappointment, shame, etc. Those thoughts will never come from our Father in Heaven, God. He is the creator of all, even you. He would never look upon you with disdain. He is all loving and understanding and has sent his Beloved Son, Jesus Christ to provide a way that we can stand spotless again and bring ourselves back to live with him.

ROOM Make-Over
My computer behaves like it is on DIAL UP is enough to make me crazy!!! I have resorted to using my sprint EVO, however I was blessed with two very fat thumbs and its havoc to type anything other than one or two sentence comments. Woe Woe is me me, right?? It's a treat for me to be visiting my blog!.
Beauty's room was a pale pink. She wanted a change. I found two gallons of paint at Wal-Mart on their OOPS aisle. They were both a gorgeous shade of GREY for $8.00
I love how it transformed her room.
The before picture! I know, I broke the first rule! I forgot to take a before picture of the room! Try to look past Sweetheart, she was hanging in Beauty's room that day.
All of the pieces of furniture in her room was FREE except for her chair which was $5!!! I picked up this 5 piece gorgeous solid wood set! I had to travel an hour away and it has been sitting in my garage for a year! I got it through free cycle.
It was in perfect condition. I was afraid to paint it, what if I messed it up. I thought I should sell the pieces. But, decided I would forge ahead. Since, Mr. Incredible was threatening to throw it out, since he wanted his garage back.
Before pics of furniture. It was a butter cream with a dandelion yellow accented by a olive green.
I sanded all of my pieces, roughly. I concentrated more on the heavy use areas. But other than that. I just roughed it up a bit. Hit and miss style!
Once all pieces were sanded I used KILZ primer in a spray can (oil) . I initially bought KILZ (oil) in a can to brush on, but once I saw brush strokes. I switched. These pieces took 4 cans of primer. $20, white paint. Left over from house project - free.
I sanded the pieces down slightly because kilz spray primer leaves a slight rough finish. Wiped my pieces down thoroughly with a cloth and PAINTED with a semi gloss white paint from home depot. I used a paint sprayer. The pieces came out really nice and rich! So far, so good and my total expense is now $28.
GLAZING... After attempting my side table for my bedroom. Please check Brooke out, if you haven't already. Here's her tutorial. GLAZING 101.
I mixed up my glaze only this time I used 2 cups of glaze to 3 cups of regular black paint that I bought in a small can. I brushed it over the ornate areas I wanted to highlight let it set a bit and wiped off. I applied everywhere I wanted to add a bit of age. I left the tops of the dressers alone, and only glazed near the edges of the dressers and end tables. Please go to the glazing 101 tutorial.
*******CRUCIAL CRUCIAL TIP********** While applying glaze to your dresser drawers do not forget to pull them open and wipe off. The drawers did not stick, however the black settled into a thicker line, that looks unprofessional. I will have to take a damp rag, dip it in white paint and rub it over the lines so the black doesn't look so harsh. NO biggie but an extra step.
Now, brace yourself for a butt load of pictures. Me? Well, I'm on dial up so I will come back to the office tomorrow, to press POST! It was a lot of fun working with Beauty on her room make-over.
I spray painted the metal with krylon Oil rubbed bronze and then brought out details with a gold stamp that I had from my stamping up days.
Enough close ups:
The B, came from Good Will, $2, The picture holder was free. The footprints poem, I found it at good will, and spray painted the frame. $2. The mirror was not part of the original dresser set. I picked this up off of free cycle. It was dark brown. The two side lamps were $20 off of craigslist for both.
Art work, is of Beauty. Printed at walmart. $2,
Frames we had.
Vanity
The picture is her baptism picture when she was 8, the candle stick we had, the Eiffel tower came from a dance that the stake put on. Things were spray painted krylon high gloss red, FREE, another left over from previous owner. Every thing else we had already had.
Her bed: The bedding was from Home Goods: We bought this a year ago, when we first moved to STL. $89 for the complete set, Pillows, accent pillows and sheets.
The lamp, missing the glass globe was FREE. It was a hideous sight that a tenant had left at one of our bishop's rentals. Spray painted metallic silver: FREE, left over from the previous owner of our house.
She needed a chair or a bench to sit at in front of her vanity. I searched craigslist and found a beautiful amazing solid chair for $25. It is worth far more. But, I low balled and asked if he would take $5.00.
Chair and left over primer and paint, $5. I found material at Hobby lobby that was perfect. It cost $3.
We removed all staples and beauty went to town recovering. It turned out beautiful. Beauty did the painting of her room, part of the glazing and her furniture. I had helped her but she was by my side. She is counting this as a project as one of her values. She has learned how to reupholster, paint, cut in, and glaze. All very valuable and thrift saving qualities.
I was leery of red as the accent color but Beauty insisted.
And guess what? It all makes me smile!
HER BATHROOM, The hutch we chose to hang on the wall. To hold her bath towels and accessories.
Picture frame clearance from target $5
Picture of Beauty adjusted through photoshop. Printed at Walmart $1
I still need to look for a small red or zebra print bath rug and a shower curtain, and purchase a few hand towels for her hutch and accessories. I have to hang the hand towel holder, that I got for $2 at GW!

Before and After
What I wouldn't give for these pictures to be the BEFORE and AFTER pictures of myself, But Sadly they are before and After pictures of furniture RE DO's! However, I do know when I decide to concentrate on myself, it will happen again! So enough about WEIGHT!
I have been addicted to furniture blogs and revamps for almost 2 years now. Hence, the slow demise of this blog. I can't just jump into something. I have to mull it over, think about it, contemplate it, almost befriend an idea before I go gungho and dive into something. I wish I was more pro-active when it comes to things like that. I have a natural abhorence to natural woods being painted. I love and appreciate antiques or the warmth of seeing age against the grain of wood. I believe it tells a story.
So, when the concept of taking beautiful ornate pieces of furniture and slapping paint on it disturbed something deep within that I had to fight against and come to grips with. I know, its FURNITURE and usually furniture that no one wants but I guess I'm still a purist at heart.
I found this beauty at the GW! I have a love hate relationship with GW! I love it, but seriously some of the prices at the GoodWill are hillariously ridiculously over priced!! Like, give me a freaking break! These items have all been donated to your store for FREE and then you are going to charge $250 for a TV that might work? The prices are more than I would pay on more things BUT then the compelling reason that keeps me going back is that I find a beauty like this little girl.
HELLO Gorgeous!
Her lines were perfect! Her top was a little beat up but nothing a little sanding couldn't take care of and I loved the hardware she came with! OH my ::swoons:: Other than her top, I really thought she was beautiful as is. but I thought the small ornate detail would really sing with a glazing technique and this is the soul purpose she was bought for!
The blog that got my heart singing about painting and glazing is this girl, Brooke. You can find her at All Things Thrifty.
She gives you a details about everything you need to know about spray paint! I read that tutorial as well as countless others on the internet. I wanted my bases covered. I chose to go with the spray paint technique instead of using the paint brush. So simple and easy.
I used Kilz spray primer. LOVE IT...Mean It! I sanded in between coats. and primed again, and sanded! and then I chose KRYLON high gloss in spray can! It's glorious! NO pictures sorry!
This post is not a HOW TO! Because I clearly did not take the pics! But head on over to All things Thrity if you would like a step by step process.
I took the handles off and sprayed them with OIL RUBBED BRONZE by Krylon. I should invest in that stuff! It's beautiful. You will adore it also!! Go, GO GET IT NOW!!!
Sanded primed and painted. I'm going to be upfront. This is another side table I did. I forgot to take pics of the end table in this stage!
She looks good at this point but I knew she could look so much better.
GLAZING GLAZING GLAZING! Go back to Brooke's blog and she gives a wonderful detailed tutorial how to glaze your furniture. Here's the linky!
You're Welcome.
Now Glazing is a personal thing. I didn't want a lot of glazed left on my piece. I wanted it to just enhance and not take over. You can leave as much or as little on it as your little heart desires.
Here is my experience with GLAZING!
1. I bought the expensive glaze. I did not have my glaze tinted because I wanted it to be very versatile. I wanted to be able to tint the glaze any color I desired. I have since tinted my glaze black, and brown for a wall technique. Would I buy glaze again? Probably not. Glaze in my opinion just buys you time. It allows you to apply and paint and then all you do is rub it right off.
2. Have a dry cloth and a damp cloth on hand
3. Apply with an old brush
4. I had to let mine sit longer on the piece before I wiped it off. I am THRIFTY to the extreme so it bothered me that I put all this glaze on ONLY to wipe it ALL off! Wasteful! So, on my other pieces I used a lot less glaze and more paint and I felt it was a better fit for me and I was being more THRIFTY!
5. All that said, I recomend doing it the correct way first and then making your own adjustments. Who knows you may need more play time.
6. I glazed my pieces with the drawers in the table and dresser. I FORGOT to open the drawers and wipe down the tops! The drawers still opened but I had these black gobs and streaks left. It looks unprofessional. I wish I had caught it while it was still wet, so I could have wiped it off. Easy fix. Just rub with the color of paint you used to paint your piece with. I just hate added steps.
Here is the finished product! She really is beautiful! I bought her for $8
I found a matching end table on Craigslist and they wanted $20. I tried to get him to go down to $8. He wouldn't budge. I felt like I didn't need an end table on the otherside of my bed. It was the Mr's side. I thought I could live not having her mate. I was grossly mistaken. I pine for her matching mate, almost as much as she does! Now, I gladly would have handed him over the $20 but I was being a stickler to what She cost and not spending a penny more. I know one day I will find her mate and all will be well in the world. I just have to be patient. One of life's lessons learned from furniture.
Here she is a bit lonely. I will find cute accessories to help her lonely heart.
I never pay more than what I think it is worth to ME and this is one of the EXTREMELY very RARE times when I allow a gem to slip through my fingers. I should have paid the $20.00
But for now, we have both chosen to embrace life as a single side table! My daughter saw this picture and screamed, "You didn't make your bed?" Hello, she's 13!! And No, I didn't make my bed. I'm 41 years old and had to make my bed while young EVERY day and I choose to make my bed about 50% of the time! LOL, I don't harp on my children to make their beds! But, my bed is now made and now everything is right in my daughter's world because her mama made her bed! (next time, you will make my bed)!
