Coffee Table Makeover

June 10, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

So this post is looooong overdue!  Over February vacation I refinished my 'el cheapo' coffee and end tables, turning them both from a boring walnut color to a fun and modern navy blue!  I'm loving all things navy lately...

Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry tre Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry trees in our backyard…watching them bloom has been nothing short of magical. And the scent of the blossoms!! Absolutely divine!
