The Porch Before and After

Before......

After !

Before....the after will come soon.  ( the table legs are to be painted blue)

I think the little blue hutch has been on the porch for about a year now and I kept saying I was going to paint it white because it was the wrong color of blue.  Well, I FINALLY did it!!!  It took three days and four coats of paint but it sure looks better.

   One day I was sitting at the porch round table that sits four people, five at the most and realized that in all of the places we have to eat in and out of our house, all the tables were round and were only suppose to sit four people.  We needed a BIG table for when we had company.  The only place we had room for a big table was the back porch.  Once I convinced Chuck that we needed this BIG table and that it would fit just fine on the back porch, we set out looking for one.  First place we looked was the local furniture store in down town Moulton.  There is was...only it came with four chairs and a bench.  After telling the lady that we only needed the table, she went to her computer and figured out that she had an extra table from the sets she had in the store room, she sold us just the table.  Perfect!! Well, almost perfect.  I  have to paint the legs of it blue to match the chairs that we already had.(Only in a small town furniture store, can you talk the lady into just selling you the table and not the set)  The next thing I will be on the look out for is a pretty full size bed head board and end board that Chuck can make a long bench out of for the one side of the table.  Meanwhile, the little bench that I already had, is being used.  We can finally seat eight people at one table. We're ready for company...well, almost.  We're working on a guest room next.
