Most adorable bench ever, Ana-White rustic bench

I wanted a bench for the kids craft table in the office  If you have more than one kid than you can understand the glory of a bench vs a chair.  No fighting or shoving about who gets to sit on the chair. Benches have a spot for more than one bum!  Yay!

I've had Ana-White's small rustic bench on my list for awhile.  So many ways to use it.  It would be so cute in the bathroom, entry or even on the front porch.  So cute in fact I had my husband build two.  It cost less than $30 for both of them and didn't take him too much time.  Just 20 minutes (which is what I say about EVERY project).  It will just take like 20 minutes don't ya think honey?  In fact it probably took about an hour or so for each bench but he used to build houses which is why I made he so lovingly offers to do most of the woodwork at our house.  If I built the bench it would have taken 8 or 9 hours.

Ta-da! I painted one of them my favorite pink, Behr's powdered blush.

Ana-White Narrow farmhouse table...

I needed a sewing table for my new office/craft room.  I wanted something super sturdy since my old sewing table would shake when I was sewing!  I also wanted something that I could repurpose in a different house since my husband is a Marine and we move a lot.  Plus I am loving farmhouse tables lately. So I chose Ana-White's Narrow farmhouse table.  Love!  We used MDF for the top because I wanted a solid surface instead of the slats.  LOVE how the slats look but my two little ones are going to use this as a craft table when I'm not sewing.  You don't want slats on your art table because then your pencil will poke a hole in your paper and there would be much crying over your ruined art.

Ta-da!

Craft room/Office Magnetic Chalkboard...

One more office project finished!  I'm getting so excited to get working in my new office/craft/sewing room instead of working on it!  Today I'm going to show off my  new magnetic chalkboard.  I used to have a cork board in here but never actually stuck anything to it because I kept the tacks hidden from the boys so I had to search them out to pin something up so it just never happened.

Then I saw this post from Less than perfect life of bliss on her magnetic chalkboard!  Perfect.  I tried the magnet paint before when I did a redo on my Dad's office and after like a bazillion coats it still wasn't very magnetic.  I never thought of using sheet metal.  This is why I love blogs.  So many great ideas.  So now I have this:
