Picture update!

This is the rocker recliner I purchased for $116. It was 71% off. I am so in love with it and it is so comfy. This is actually a Christmas/Birthday gift from the Lopez family and my mom. Thanks! 


Lucy's painted nails. Thanks Erica and Fae for the cute Valentine gift!


Lucy opened up two packages of tissues and wrapped up her Rapunzel doll. 


Josh opening his Birthday gift from his mother.


Lucy showing off her Valentine gifts from Grandma Bowman. 


Repainting my kitchen table. My mom got this table from an antique store years ago and it has been repainted by her, Rachael, me and me again. I know it seems like I repaint things ALL THE TIME, but I guess I'm just a curious person and I let my curiosity get the best of me. But this should be the last time this table gets painted, by me that is. Hopefully it will be finished by next week so Ill be sure to post pictures. 

This is the process of stripping the 15 coats of paint already on it. I'm taking it down to the natural oak.


This is what Smart Strip paint remover does to the paint.


and then it just peels off... its actually kinda fun to take the paint off.


Lucy looking super stylish:)



Use Smart Strip if you are needing to strip the paint down to the natural wood or whatever. This stuff is crazy amazing! But remember to apply it THICK.

Oh shoot I must have still been logged in on your computer, mom.

I love the chair! Can't wait to see how your table turns out.

Grandma Bowman?! That sounds so weird. That's why we call her Mimi! :)
