Fabulously Friday

Happy Friday to all! This week has gone by surprisingly fast...hopefully that means the weekend will linger a little longer than it usually seems to. :)

This weekend I plan to finally make some ground on a DIY project I've been working on for about a month now. I purchased a night stand off Craigslist that I planned to use as my first furniture project piece. It was painted an unsightly seafoam green when I first got it...

Like this color, only dirtier and with paint chipping
I've since stripped the paint off (twice--there was a yellow underneath the green that was even worse), have filled in any holes with wood filler and have just barely begun the sanding process. The plan is to complete all sanding this weekend, stain the stand a mahogany color, paint the drawers a soft white and attach gold knobs to the drawers. I'll have to see what Home Depot or Lowe's has in store as far as hardware...but in any case, I'm hopeful that the weather will hold and I'll be able to finish! *crosses fingers* I'll have an update on that on Monday.

And of course, I'll be spending time with the boyfriend :) and this little guy:

Introducing to you all...my dog, Bruiser! He's the sweetest, cutest, funniest little 10-lb Chihuahua ever!

So, enough about me...what are you doing this weekend? Whatever it is, I hope you have a fabulous time!
