Before and After

This table was purchased soon after Zach and I were married (almost 8 years).  It has been lugged around from place to place, and each move left it scratched and banged up a little more.  So, it was a good excuse to try out my new tools.  
 I purchased a used compressor and bought a new spray gun.  This was a pretty, pretty, big day!  While my friend Lauren and I were driving the kids to the Zoo, I was proclaiming my desire to purchase the equipment.  The next thing I know she has pointed out the warehouse that I had been searching for ( leaving out lots of details)  I took the exit!  The next thing I know, I am wheeling and dealing my self a large compressor....  
It was a good day.




Thanks to Ashley and Julie for teaching me their talents.  Had you told me two years ago that I would be crazy excited about buying tools and paint, I wouldn't have believed you.

You need to blog about the mighty compressor. I've been waiting for that post. That was Such a great day! I even told Colt the story when he got home. That's how big of a deal it was. And Dang girl...you are getting good with that gun.

So cute! I love the color...and I'm so jealous that you have a compressor. The last thing I need is more "hobby" equipment, so I'll have to hold off on that one. Maybe I should just move next door and we can share?

See you soon! Getting my ticket today.
