My husband just built us a beautiful new dining room table. So we had our old "passed down to us from someone it was passed down to before that" dining room table from the seventies? eighties? Who knows? (When we got it in '96 we were it's third family that we know of). Super sturdy and solid and well made, but oh so dated. So I knew I had to paint on it. My largest canvas yet.

My daughter and I worked on it together. We drew flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, hearts--you know, all the fun girly stuff on it. Then we painted it with all the fun girly colors.

It is totally brightening up our patio.
