October 17, 2007 Because I'm not dead 
Though after so many days' silence, it might seem like it. This is furniture refinishing project #1--my night table. It used to be a dark-green faux-marble. No more. Mind you, it took five turns with the stripping chemicals to get the eight layers of existing paint off, and then there was priming and painting and taping and painting and wiping and painting. At first I thought I might have gone a little bit too bright, but now that I'm getting used to it I think it's just right.

Ooo...I like it! How did you do all of that while you were so sick?! Seriously...if there were an award for a real-life wonder woman, I would nominate you. :) Posted by: Freakazojd at October 17, 2007 10:49 AM
I didn't do this while I was sick--this was all finished a few weeks ago, I'm just posting about it now because my brain is still buried under a few miles of cold medications. Sorry for the confusion! Posted by: Andrea
That looks beautiful! I so admire the perseverance. Posted by: Kermit at October 17, 2007 11:04 AM
