Bowl Redos...

I hope all of you Mother's out there had a great Mother's Day. My kids and Steve made breakfast for me and gave me a beautiful card. Other than that I did laundry all day and did some crafting. More on that later in this post. So on with my bowl redos.

Remember these bowls? Well, I finally got around to primming then up. I had two different kinds in my stash. I would say this was the hardest redo because I LOVE how each set turned out and want to keep them all. But I must simplify and sell. First, I had to sand off the ugly shellac finish off the outside. Have I ever told you how much I sanding... Well, I hate it so much I decided I wasn't going to sand the inside of the bowls. Steve told me that I should sand them anyway especially if I was going to paint them. Despite his warning I decided what do I have to lose if I don't. So in the beginning I left them as is. However, after I painted the outsides I thought the insides were a little to light. So, I took sand paper and lightly sanded the inside. Then while I was darkening up the outside I took my stain and just stained the insides instead of painting them. They turned out gorgeous!!! A nice warm stain color.


Before...



After...

First set... these are for sale in my booth... the blue and mustard have already sold...





Second set... not for sale yet. But if the first set sells I may have to put these up... :( lol





So this is where MY I mean the other set is at the moment. lol... I think they look right at home on my new table Steve built.



I know I haven't been around, but Steve and I have been very busy making some new items for the booth. We have begun to switch the booth over to Americana for the summer.





Well, my friends today is my only day off and I have a ton of things to get done. I probably won't be back until next week due to working Thursday through Sunday. But who knows I may get something done today to be able to show you before then. So have a great day today!
