Restored

 The kitchen table has seen a lot of action through the years. 

Countless paint projects, nail polish drips, permanent marker streaks, water rings and mindless butterknife notches. 

I always put a table cloth on it...because its a mess. 

Time to strip it down and stain it!

Old:

Thank you, DIY videos!

Taking that layer off is muy delicioso.

All stripped down and pitting on the first coat of stain.

Check it out!! It so shiny!

I just want to lay on it!!

Recipe Box...we have banned the orange

I need a recipe box.

My recipe folder is a total mess and all the little hole punches have ripped through. It's not organized and I am completely over it.

I want a recipe box.

Only I can't find the exact one I like.

So I'm going to start with this....orange monstrosity!! (but it's got the right shape)

A little sanding and some walnut stain and I'm pretty happy with it!  And now to rewrite all my favorites onto these cute recipe cards...I love a good project!
