so much

I've got so much to tell you (and show you) but the pictures are all on hubby's camera and I just haven't gotten around to getting them from there to here.  

Lame excuse I realize.  But there it is.  

My latest pictures have all been taken with, get ready for this, my phone.

I know.

So today I have for you, the first project that I have finished for the guest room.

It was an old desk that was Frank's (or maybe his sister's) when he was a kid.  Our boys have had it in their various rooms over the years and it has taken a beating,literally.  I had hoped to just refinish the top but discovered that certain bad bad children had carved tic-tac-toe into it and also had apparently practiced with their scout knives on the top of this poor desk.

So, paint is had to be.

It's a turquoise color...it seems off here.

Its so cute.
