Simple birthday card

Towbridges's 50's dinner in Florence AL

If you ever find yourself in Florence Alabama go downtown, it's clean and beautiful downtown fill switch shops and restaurants. I added Towbridge's to my must go for lunch and ice cream a 50's dinner look and the prices are unbeatable at $1.20 one large scoop of ice cream, $2.95 for their signature chicken sandwich which is amazing and $1.75 grill cheese can't beat that.

Ladies and gentlemen here's my final result on the dresser. No paint peeling and even put mod pudge popover the top to mark it a bit glossy and durable. No glass knobs they didn't look has nice has the one we pick.   

Update on the dresser I am re finishing, the original paint I pick has not dry after three days and it started to peel off. I went back to Lowe's and they gave me another type of paint, I do really hope it stick this time.

ALL DONE! Andy fish tank cake ready for the party....it only took me four hours to decorate it 

Day 5: I am taking a break from dresser. I have to prepare for Andy's birthday party tomorrow, to do list bake cake, decorate cake to look like a fish tank and put together goodie bags( yup and I am a making those too out of paper) 

Day 4: the priming is done, this took a lot of patience and most of my day(9am to 3pm). I ended up using valspar primer for glossy surfaces because the top of the dresser ended up being a laminate that unfortunately could not be remove. 

Day 3: finish sanding the dresser... Tomorrow the priming begins 

Day 2: I sanded both side of the dresser, it still needs a little more sanding but I got too tired to finish it today 

DIY project, re-finish an old dresser

I have always wanted to re-finish a piece of furniture. Now after months of being patient and waiting for a bargain on a used dresser(for my girl) I found this vintage wooden dresser for $30.  Day 1 consist of removing knobs, using a whole bottle of wood glue and wood filler. Tomorrow the fun begging so sanding this beautiful vintage dresser 

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all you mothers and grandmas are having a wonderful mothers days.
