August In Review

Wow, September already? How did that happen? I thought going forward it might be fun to do a little summary of projects from the previous month. In case you are new or missed some of my posts last month, here’s a run-down of what went on around here during the month of August.

1.   We tried not to giggle at the title as we talked about how to strip furniture.
2.   I finally refinished the library card catalog cabinet that my grandparents rescued from a vacant school building.
3.   I found this awesome antique fan while shopping with a few of my fellow Atlanta bloggers.
4.   I faced my fears and used a power tool for the first time.
5.   My husband breathed a sigh of relief because I finally cleaned my messy garage with my new Ridgid Wet/Dry vac.
6.   I shared a tutorial on how to stain furniture.
7.   My boys enjoyed their brand new colored chalkboard table.
8.   An old piece of furniture got a new stenciled makeover.
9.   I shared several ways to tell if your furniture is real wood as opposed to veneer or laminate.
10. I stenciled a rug for our dining room and shared a tutorial on how it’s done.

There were several giveaways on the blog last month, and I hope to have more fun ones for you this month too. There’s one going on right now, so feel free to enter to win some adorable terrarium plants from Enviro-Cakes.

Also on the blog last month:
I got personal and shared a fun Q&A, answering questions from my readers.
I turned 30!
I shared a fun round-up of inspirational two-toned furniture projects.

I have a lot of fun things happening this month too, so I hope you’ll stick around. Thanks so much for reading!

Did you finish any home projects last month? Do you have lots planned for September? Did you have a milestone birthday too? Please let me know what you’re up to!
