Chalk board craft :)

I am so proud of myself and even though it took me all weekend I made an awesome (to me) chalk board for our kitchen/dining area out of an old cabinet door. And now I shall just post the progression photos from start to finish!

Redecorating

Preston left Wednesday for a loooooong time, I may get lucky and see him for a few days at the first of August ... If not then it will be the first of September and only for 2 days :( so yeah that's a long time. I need things to to keep my mind off of that so today I decided to finally get things for our patio. We have lived in these apartments for almost 2 years (yikes!) and we have never gotten patio furniture! I love to sit outside and read and I had a hammock chair that we got in Cozumel hanging outside last summer but Kimberly and Preston hated that thing so I was told not to put it up this year. Bummer. So today I went to big lots (yep I shop there and I don't care) and found beach themed chairs and bright colored pillows and a small table and a little decor. I really like the way it came out and the only thing I really need to get is some of the big round colored lights on a string to hang outside above the chairs :) Margaritaville anyone? :)
