Wood Pedestal – Baby Shower
I bought this wood slab at Joann’s along with these 4 wood furniture feet. The balls are flat on one end so I used wood glue to attach them to the bottom of the slab and used this left over stain to stain them.
I’ll use it for other things but made it for the baby shower.
Can’t wait to use it! Maybe for the champagne glasses?

Kitchen/Bar – Done!
Done! Well technically I have to seal the grout & add some caulk. I realized I didn’t take pics of the back sooo that’s still coming. Those are the vintage bar stools I bought last year and redid. https://gettinmycountryon.com/2017/07/27/vintage-bar-stools-redo/
Grouted and all the paint touched up!
Yep! That’s a checkerboard!! Between the 2×2 tile checkerboard and the 4×8 tiles – I didn’t have to cut ANY tiles and that was the plan!
And those are my left over Aspen tree branches!! Next project – I need to paint the checkers!

Kitchen/Bar Counter Top Trim
I found some of that poly trim stuff at Lowes in the perfect size. The 1/2″ plywood + 1/4″ cement board + 1/4″ tile =1″ and the trim is 1 1/8″ tall – perfect! I used liquid nails and some tape to attach it to the edges. Grout, caulk & touch up paint to go . . . .

Baby Shower Prep Has Begun!
If you know me at all, you KNOW that the prep began wayyyy before now, lol. We have these chalkboard signs that were used for Amie & Matthew’s wedding just about 3 years ago. Tara (my daughter-in-law) did an amazing job on alllllll the wedding signs. You can still see how cute this one was. They’ve been stored in a plastic tub in the loft of my barn. I guess the chalk stuff baked on in the heat. This board is already wiped down with a wet rag. Guess I should have cleaned them before I stored them, lol. Any-who, I went to Hobbs (Hobby Lobby) and found this small acrylic black “chalk” paint!
Voila!! Just like new and ready for the baby shower!

Porch Skirt – Done!
I can’t take credit for finishing this project. I’ve decided to pay my neighbor to help me get some projects finished around the yard. He was working on this while I was in the back working on the kitchen/bar counter. I love it, it looks finished and I don’t have to worry about the cats in the neighborhood getting underneath, lol!

Aspen Scraps
I have some Aspen scraps leftover from making the little Aspen Bed for my newborn photography. So I thought I’d cut up some rounds for a little project I have in mind . . . . more on this one later. Oh the suspense . . . LOL
