Bittersweet Goodbye’s

Ahhhhh.....

Today is the first day of school! It is always a bittersweet day. I’ll be the first to admit that I do enjoy my quiet alone time while they are in school. However, I do miss the precious moments we shared all summer.

My coffee mate

I had coffee alone today. Can’t believe just the other day my coffee mate and I were sharing a few moments together. His is decaf! He said he was practicing for when he became an adult. Oh my, I realize that will be here before I know it! How has 8 years of motherhood already passed? Or do I get to claim 14 years of motherhood…8 plus 6?

another goodbye!

I also bade farewell to this gem as well! I was truly sad to see this work of mine go. I wanted to keep her sooo bad!

Ah...the Hunter Green days!

She came to me a glorious shade of Hunter Green. A friend of mine found her for $25! It has a display tray that pulls out, covered in a lovely blue faux velvet. My friend purchased it for her beach house. My only instructions were to make it beachy!

Beachy Blue

I painted the sides leftover blue from my dining room, and I painted the framing around the glass top polar white from Behr. I performed my magic art of sanding and glazing.

The After

I painted the inside of the display area leftover Wintergreen Ash from my laundry room! I’m in love! Sadly I bid her farewell too this week. Oh well, she belongs at the beach!

Can you believe I saw the same Hunter Green table in a consignment shop the other day for $225??? Who is buying Hunter Green? What would you pay for my after? 225?
