Hi there! We had an eventful Thanksgiving this past week at the Mossy Rose. Dave got a stomach bug in the wee hours of the morning Thanksgiving day. Sad, right?! So Levi and I did what any normal American family would do and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade all morning. It was a first for both of us. Finally, Dave came out of the quarantined room in the afternoon and decided we should go outside for a walk. So we did! And then he had his Thanksgiving dinner...
And we headed to my family's home for Thanksgiving. Levi's first Thanksgiving!!!

It was a lovely evening of frisbee, laughs, tiny bits of food (I just KNEW I would catch Dave's funk!), Apples to Apples, and family. Not all of 'em though. Bummer.
Dave loves me so much, he decided to share his funk with me that evening. Then he took the best care of me. I love his guts.
Oh! The armoire has been completed!
As you remember, I found this piece of lovely in someones trash.
I got inspired by this blog and I wanted to try it out on this project.
So I gave it a go. Cleaned it, removed the hardware, and primed it with spray primer. First, let me just say I needed way more than I thought I did, so we visited Lowe's twice in like 1 hour. Blerg.
Next, I let the primer dry for about an hour and started painting. I am not a spray painting fan, so I used Rustoleum's gloss white paint, and used my trusty paintbrush. RIP, paintbrush. The oil base paint got the best of both of us.
Voila.
The next morning I came out to start working on it, and I was kinda sad that it was so white! Such a female. I used Lowe's brand of tintable glaze in some Black Cottage color. I used "Vintage Revivals" technique for glazing, and got annoyed with it, so I got a bit cray cray. My blues about the white quickly faded away as it started to turn out just how I wanted.
Dave says it looks "shipwrecked."
And here's the castaway.
Oh yeah, and I found this mirror at a garage sale in my barrio for $1! It was a little cracked on one end, but I fixed it and here it is too!
Blerg with the ugo Ikea dresser. One day I'd like to jazz it up.
The weather has been lovely lately, so we've been outdoors much more!

Levi's getting older now, and getting rid of some of his toys.

Levi is our little funny man. He is so funny, and loves to make us laugh. He loves laughing with his pal, Stoney too.
Oh yeah, I miss this place.
Bye!
