Lemonade... Lemonade... Just like Grandma made!

I'm sure by now, the three people that read this blog have heard about our Sunshine stand and are probably so tired of hearing about it. I think I posted about it on facebook over a dozen times. I just had to write it down for myself and for my kids when they get older to look back on. It was such a fun little event and my kids were able to learn so much from it. I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many talented and free spirited people! Bekah and I jumped into this project with both feet, it was a lot of work to pull this together in a few days so our kids could enjoy spring break and I'm so glad we did... it was so worth it!

I'm sure we will be spending many summer days doing this again, thank you to everyone who came and supported us! You can read about our lemmy stand here, here, here, here and here!

Project 1: Tackling the beast!

I finally finished my first project of the year, I started it like the week after Christmas and it took an entire week and three coats of blue paint later and here she is:

Justin and I bought this puppy off of Craigslist for a whopping $70 about a year ago and always had intentions of painting it. I just never knew what color, finally on a whim I just picked out a color I loved. I have always had red and yellow as the main colors in my home and am now slowly trying to incorporate blue into the mix. My goal for the year is to tackle one project a month for the entire year and start giving our new home some personality. My next project is to upholster two chairs I found on craigslist for dirt cheap. So here is my dilemma, like I mentioned I already have some red and yellow going on and I'm really trying to stay away from a circus theme here but to be honest, it's starting to feel that way with all of these colors going on. I went to a few fabric stores and found some different fabrics that I love, I also plan on making curtains later and want the fabrics to coordinate but not overpower each other. So here are the fabrics I found, I'm just having the hardest time making a decision, I need some opinions...
