What is a work zone really?

What is a work zone? For some lucky people it is a nice enclosed area in which to create. I am fortunate enough to have that in the house- it is my craft room. But for the more dirty work - like sanding and painting well I am a tent dweller. Some call it a tent; others a tarp. But it is all the same. Canvas draped over poles held up by ropes anchored in the ground. It provides me some relief from the sun and rain and it holds off the wind. My dad loaned this to me to use and well use it I have been doing. Hubby wants to keep the garage paint free- okay I can understand that. I guess :)

Notice all the chairs lined up? Well I am a sucker for a lonely, mismatched or orphaned chair at an auction, garage sale, thrift shop or side of the road dump. Thus the name of my business- the orphan chair. Well I sure did it good - now I have to sand most of those and then paint them and recover some also..yeah...

Good thing I stocked up on some Heirloom White right?

So, here is a closer look at my stack of chairs - BEFORE.

And here is one in midstream. It now has about 3 coats of heirloom white on it and it will be distressed with some sandpaper then put a bit of glaze on it before it gets it's new seat- of burlap or linen.. ummm delicious.

Above is a little dressing stool..it is painted in heirloom white also and is awaiting a seat covered in toile with some trim.

Now what do you get with a pile of porch balusters above

and some Christmas trees bought on clearance below?

You will have to wait and see.

Well back to my work zone...please send some cooler weather my way please.
