Around the house and a garden update!

I picked up an awesome old, solid wood kid dresser from a woman around here with a re-sale shop.

 I couldn't pass it up! I don't have a kid to give it to (yet) but I figured I could work on it in the mean time. Kid furniture can be so expensive and it is cheaply made now days. Plus I thought it would be fun to also re-do a piece that Dave had in storage so I am going to make them match.

Dave's piece will become a storage cabinet/changing table once I find some bun feet to add to it.

I found these cool glass knobs for the dresser that I think will really add some character to it!

Excuse my thumb but this is after day 1 of sanding. Underneath the blue paint was green paint. I have another day of sanding and then they should be ready to clean up and paint myself. I want to paint them a walnut brown and then do a crackle yellow finish on top. 

Let the pool renovations begin! I am super excited our pool is getting resurfaced! All the water is drained, as of last night, and they started sandblasting today. 

With all the rain we have had in south Texas lately, my garden has seem to explode over night!

My footwear at work!!

I think I planted my tomatoes too close together and I seriously need to go by Wal-Mart to get three more tomato cages.

I finally have cucumbers on the vines and I am hoping the egg plants will soon sprout.

The onions and chives are doing really well too!

I am super excited to know I can grow these things in my little garden area here. I cannot even imagine what my garden will be like when we move out to the property!
