Travis was gone all last week in the field so to keep myself busy and not missing him so much I decided to get projects done. Travis and I were blessed to be given Nanny's old desk. It is an older desk that needed a face lift (you can see what it looked like in older post) and this was the week I took on the task. I have never done anything like this away from home, but I gave it a go. The hardest part was picking a color by myself!!! I worked every night on the desk till very late. It took two coats of primer and three coats of paint, but I had it all done and moved back to the living room by the time Travis got home Friday night. Travis loves the desk and I am pretty proud of my handy work. It is a pretty bold piece, but adds a lot of color to the room!
Travis is gone this week for eye surgery in San Antonio, TX so I am deciding what projects I can get done to again keep me busy and not missing him quite as much!
Project during your Soldier's absences are key. Jennifer always found things to keep herself busy and I always found surprises when I would return from an extended absence.
ReplyDeleteOf course, now with a few kids, she stays busy enough with them! LOL
