This week I painted furniture, my bedside table and desk chair to be exact. I used Debi’s Design Diary chalk paint and went from dark wood to a bright blue. Between washing, two coats of paint and a finishing wax it took about a week. I think it came out pretty well but for some reason the paint did not adhere to the drawer pulls. Rather than meticulously repaint a 85 year-old nob I decided to get new knobs all together and am currently on the hunt. When my “hunt is complete I’ll post a picture of my finished work. Although, I can’t boast too much as it was relatively easy, I have come a long way from finger painting!

I am curious about Euphoria. Enjoy your books, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks!
I literally just finished Euporia and it was pretty disappointing. I thought the plot was a little too drawn out and dull, but that’s just me. Thank you for commenting Laurel!
Oh, that’s too bad. I hate disappointment when I’m anticipating a good one.
I’m really curious to see what you think of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. I wasn’t overly enamored with it, but so many people love it! Clawback sounds quite interesting, as does The Cuckoo’s Calling, which I have yet to read! Enjoy!
Just took a little jump over to your review of The Velvet Hours and I see your impressions were positive. I’ve seen it around a little and good to know it was a worthwhile read so I will keep it in mind.
Euphoria was a favorite. Interesting picks this week. Enjoy!
I enjoyed The Cuckoo’s Calling. Are you planning to continue the series?
Happy reading!
Euphoria sounds awesome!!! I am currently taking two Anthropology classes, and I am loving them. I will have to read this book!
Miss Peregrine home has got such positive reviews I must try to track this down.
Yay for the furniture painting! Sounds like it will be fantastic. I’ve read the Miss Peregrine’s but had mixed feelings and haven’t yet managed to continue the series. The Robert Gaibraith is on my TBR and I really need to find the time to get to it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂
