home work

Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.

An avid garage sale shopper I found 3 chairs.
 25.00 + 10 % off.
Happy with that- they are all a little different
 Wish there was 4 - but that is usually my luck 3- and 3 is better than none...
I have an eclectic home any way.

I sanded with sand paper and roughed up with a brillo pad.
then painted white
 a water based flat was used

brillo pad, bees wax, soft cloth for application & a soft cloth to wipe it down

 

After 2 coats they were dry and ready to be sanded again

wipe off the paint dust and beeswax was applied

 and wiped down again

Time for a quick break

 Home work is hard work you know ....

 Then I brought the newly done chair in and tied

NEW

 organic cushions....

 nothing that a garage sale

and little elbow grease

 can't fix

I also added a fresh coat of paint to the table...

our tribe loves it and we have had many cozy meals around it.

 

Yes it's simple...and yes that is all we need.

I love home work.

 

As we become curators of our own contentment on the Simple Abundance path...

we learn to savor the small with a grateful heart.
