When I do this....
He does this...
Is there anything hotter than a man working with tools??? Yep... when he's helping you to fix your mistake WITHOUT complaining OR being asked to help WHILE using tools, haha. I sure do love my handy man who so graciously helped me fix my novice uh oh.
And let me explain... my table was a wreck... scratches, marks, finish coming off, etc. So I got the bright idea to whitewash it so it'd be all purdy to match my new kitchen. And 4 coats of whitewash later, some sanding and a good wipe and it looked gorgeous. Then I went to seal it. And I used lacquer instead of polyacrylic because that is what the girl in the tutorial online used... And that's when all heck broke a loose. My gorgeous whitewash started coming up and the lacquer acted as a paint remover... GAH. So as I cried in the garage I knew I'd have to sand it down and start over. So I try to sand it once it was dry (it was a fast drying lacquer) and it started goo-ing up on me. More tears happened and I went to bed defeated. I wouldn't normally have been SO stressed except Bunco was at my house the next night... and you have to have a table to play Bunco on!!! Luckily Jarom got it sanded to a gorgeous fresh ready to paint surface, I stained it, sealed it, whitewashed it 4 times, lightly sanded it, and sealed it twice to perfection. (Sorry this is the only pic I have of the finished product.)
(And then last week while making the girls Memorial day dresses I put a nice gouge in my perfection... UGH!)

The table turned out beautiful kiddo! Yeah to both of you for the hard work and effort because the finished product is wonderful, ... despite the little scratch. :D
