My new buffet!

When you walk into my home, you are greeted with this.
Built in little shelves and an entry table.  
This is where I set up my salon and do hair twice a week.

For the longest time I've wanted a buffet table (thanks to my SIL Emily).
Back in boring January, I found this one on KSL (better than craigslist in Utah) for a whopping $150
They sell for around $400 in consignment shops.  
I thought it'd be perfect for my "salon" station and I could not pass up such a good deal!
I loaded up the kids and headed to Payson with my Dad (an hour south) to get it. 
 I knew it was a winner and I knew it would sell fast!  

A BIG thanks to my Dad who painted it for me!

I just LOVE it!!!!
Don't you?
It just brightens up my room!
I'm still trying to figure out what to put on top of it.  Cole broke my bigger glass lamp so this one is there till I figure out what to put on the top.  That book shelf (which has been so hard for me to stage) has a lot going on so maybe I should keep the buffet simple.  My friend Alicia helped me with the current set up of the shelves and I love it.  
Any suggestions for the buffet?  

I replaced the knobs with Anthropology type glass knobs for half the price from World Market.

My little hanging heart souvenir from Paris.  So cute.  Thanks Mom!
 Notice the detail on the wood.  I love it!  

Here was my inspiration photo
Sorry, no source :(
I love the dark glaze in the cracks that bring out the detail.

Here is another cute buffet with the glaze that brings out the detail.
again, sorry no source. :(

I've been waiting for the paint to really dry on mine to sand and glaze it.
What do you think?  Glaze or no glaze?

St. Patricks Day 2011!

Whoa!  Where have I been?
New Beginnings 
Tending 10 kids for 5 days =
Frankie getting Pulled Elbow (from a 2yr. old :( )
Playgroups
Hosting A Baby Shower
Disney On Ice
A Wedding Anniversary (our 9th)
and now... 
St. Patricks Day!

That tricky leprechaun showed up again this year!  
Thankfully he forgot to draw green mustaches on everyone in their sleep like last year.
Sadly we forgot to set a trap and he really messed up our house!


 MaryJane went to dance as TinkerBell.  She was so accepting of everything today!  Surprise.

 Sadie wore the skirt I made her two years ago.  I LOVE all the mileage I've gotten out of it!
She's finally come around and is not so scared of that Leprechaun anymore.

I love how Cole is such a believer of this holiday!  Tonight he was trying so hard to think of a good trap for the leprechaun for next year.  Way to believe Cole!

The leprechaun left chocolate coins, a real gold coin, a few green candy pieces, Lucky Charms and Clover plates for dinner (pizza).  He sure went all out this year.  Well as much as he's ever going to for this holiday.

A little cheer from my hutch.

I hope you all had a great day!
