My very first blog post...

So here I am! I'm Jessica, welcome to my first blog post! My husband and I just started an Etsy shop to sell the furniture that we refinish. We love being creative and enjoy the thrill of trying to do things ourselves. We try to save money and we kove the thrill of conquering a task. We refinished some pieces in our home and one day we just talked about doing it as a side business, so here we are...Originally, when we first talked about having a blog, we thought about having another avenue to promote our furniture and show our before and afters. But I think I want to add a little bit more to our blogs because I have so much going on in my head and I feel like sharing it all :). So you will see the before and afters, and our furniture we sell, plus bonus random thoughts too! So enjoy! So I think that I want to share my very favorite redo... My new yellow hutch that I love so much. This one I did for our home, not for the shop. It looks so cute in our kitchen!!! I found the hutch on Craig's list for 50 bucks and I already had the yellow paint from another project. I sanded, painted and distressed the wood. I added wrapping paper to give it a little pop. I also used the same paperin our cabinets. I painted the knobs the same color as our dinning table to pull the room together. I love yellow, its my favorite color and I am glad that it's becoming more popular because that means more things will be yellow... And I won't get made fun of for liking yellow, like when I made my bridesmads wear yellow and they didn't understand why... Anyway I hope you enjoy
