The Table Project

Where do I start? It has been a crazy month! It has been exciting living in a new city. We are enjoying meeting new people and adjusting to our new jobs. It's amazing how God places you right where He wants you. He has been so faithful! 

Indianapolis is huge! Of course, I have gotten lost a few times...but those stories are for another day! ha! This past Friday, I experienced downtown Noblesville. It has adorable antique stores and quaint places to eat. A friend took me to a yummy place called Rosie's. I loved it! The food was scrumptious, and Giana loved the mac and cheese!

I have been starting some fun DIY projects. I have always wanted a large dining room table...so...I searched Craiglist and found a beat up cherry wood table and 3 chairs for a whopping $35! The table and chairs needed a lot of work (sanding, staining, and painting). I thought painting the chairs and the legs of the table black would add some interest. I love how they turned out! I did have help sanding (thanks Kiersten!). The sanding took forever. Ugh! Jared did the painting and staining-thank you hun! I re-upholstered an old bench and the chairs with new fabric. We already had two red upholstered chairs for the head of the table. All in all it was a great accomplishment! We love how it turned out and can't wait to use it for Thanksgiving!
