Another Project

Last October we put this bead board on our center kitchen island and it sat there for 7 months unfinished, because I couldn't decide on what I wanted to do with it. So due to being unable to start on our garage project, because were still waiting to get our building permits and supplies, we decided to take a trip to Home Depot and there it was in a magazine the colors for the island.

So mom helped me and we stained the entire island a mahogany. Then painted over that with a green paint.


Then the fun came! we sanded, hammered, nicked and scuffed up the nicely painted beadboard and then dry brushed it with some more stain. I think it turned out PERFECT! I love how aged and old it looks, and the best part when the kids kick, hit and run into it, it's just going to make it more beautiful!

Yesterday we asked Izzy how school was.  He said he met a new friend, a girl.  He said it was really crazy though, because I kept thinking what does she do?  What does she play when she's at home, and what does she like, it was really weird to think about.  Then he said and she looks at me really weird all the time, , when we asked how does she look, he smiled real wide and started fluttering his eyelashes.  He said she kind of creeped me out.  Dad said, get use to it buddy this is how girls are :)
