Renovation

The past couple weeks have been full of flights, friends, and fun. As I returned back to home-base I decided that I needed to pour all my excess energy left over from traveling into a project. I took on my desk.

A couple months ago I picked up a rusty red desk from Habitat for Humanity Restore. It was a steal at just $40. But then it rode around in the back of my car for over a month - it was worth it! Using Valspar paints and their pamphlet on how to crackle paint, I renovated my old beat up and scratched desk into a shabby chic piece of statement furniture.

THE SUPPLIES:

Anytime I fix up something old I'm reminded of these words from Revelation 2:15, "And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."

God makes all things new again, including us! My favorite song right now is Beautiful Things sung by Gungor. My favorite line is "You make beautiful things out of us." And its true, He makes absolutely beautiful things out of us if we allow Him to.

Over the next few weeks I will be taking on quite a few crafting projects. Stay tuned for more!
