Entry Decor, and a Camera Strap

I feel bad that it has been a week and a half since I posted. I have been so busy sewing and taking pictures with my new camera that I haven't stopped to blog. I got a NEW CAMERA 2 weeks ago. I have been dreaming of this everyday for at least 3 years. My hubby is the best, he bought me this when he received a check from work that he had done a while back.  NIKON D3100. 
**First things First, I always swore I would make a super cute camera strap when I got a camera, so the next day I made this. I actually just covered the one I got with the camera.
Next, I took pictures of the new entry table that I recently finished, but I had been working on since Decemberish, the garage has been too cold to paint in until recently.
can you believe this was a T.V.?
I rescued it from my friends mom, it was on its way to the dump
Front View, do you like the turquoise candlesticks, they have gotten mixed reviews, I have redecorated the table about 10 times. 
I LOVE IT!!
Here are the only demolition pictures I got, on one sunny
day in December.

The minute I first saw Beckie on Infarrantly Creative do this project I started watching for a free TV cabinet.  YAY,  FREE, paint...$9.00.  and well then the excuse for new decorations to go on top of course.  haha.

My most recent project

I finally got around to refinishing this hutch that used to belong to my grandmother. I am sure she bought it in teh 70's or something. Last summer I painted it white and had it in McKinley's room until I could figure out what to do with it.
I touched up the paint and filled in the holes from the ugly handles. then sanded the corners.
I mixed about a cup of glaze with some black and brown acrylic paint.

intil it looked like this. nit didn't take very much paint at all. and I didn't use all of this, it doesn't take much.
wipe it on real thick and wait a minute or two and start wiping it off. Keep wiping it off until you have the look you want. I spread it really thick into the corners and crevices.
Keep getting a clean rag every once in a while.


Here it is finished. I LOVE IT!!!
