Our Payson House

I have been meaning to post pics of our house here in Payson, but just keep finding new home projects that keep me wanting to delay until I have pics of them all done. Well, I figure a house is never ever done because you can always add or change things about it. Anyways, we are loving this new house of ours. The only complaints I have is the white carpet (and it's everyhwere) and the small closet space. I have really had to up my organization skills to get all our stuff to fit just perfect, but I like what we have done. Other than that, the house is awesome. It's 3 bedrooms with an office, two full bathrooms (I love my master bathroom...it's perfect!) and has a full size basement. It's fun to see how all our old home decor looks new again just by putting it in a new house and changing it up. A few weeks back my sis and I had found this cute (well potential to be really cute) table that I needed for down in the basement. With all her talent and craftiness skills she convinced me we could easily turn this $7 blah pine table into something fun! She even convinced me that it would be super easy. That's all the encouragement I needed. So with a bottle of primer, a can of spray paint, some glaze and a new handle we went to work. My new little end table turned out so cute. I am so glad I have such an imaginitive sister who knew it would turn out great.

Since then I decided to try a project of my own. I have been on the lookout for a cute little bench to go by our front door to take your shoes (or boots in a couple of months)off or just set things on. The cheapest I could find something online was close to $100, so back to the thrift stores and garage sales I went. I found this cute wood bench at a garage sale for $10. I followed the tricks my sister and I used for the last project and well I definitely still need some practice in the glazing dept, but all in all it turned out really good...better than I was expecting! I can't believe me, the most non-crafty person in the world refurnished something...amazing. Maybe this little small town is good for me after all.
