Clemson University Kitchen Table

I'm sure you know by now that I have an obsession with furniture, specifically kitchen furniture :)
A while back I got this beautiful pedestal table from Salvation Army in Clemson for $15!
I used it for about 3 or 4 sculptures and finally got around to using it for what I bought it for. I have been dying to paint a kitchen table for some one. 

I decided while I was still in Clemson I should honor my last few weeks with a Clemson themed table. 

I drew out a "map" of Clemsons campus using some of our biggest land marks. 

First I sanded the top down and then white washed it giving me a blank canvas to illustrate the top. 

I wanted to give the landmarks a twist by doing my own interpretation, I chose the Presidents House. 

Tillman Hall

Memorial Stadium

The Walker Course

 Cooper Library

The Esso Club

Lake Hartwell

Painting this table was so much fun! 

I wish it could live in my home forever but I've collected too many tables over time. Right now it is in a consignment store in Clemson but if you are interested let me know and we can work something out!!

Sorry I've been gone for a long time! I'm going to try and start posting again soon. We are starting to settle in to our new home wich means y'all are about to get a lot of new projects!! 

Thoughts

My life is changing at a rapid pace!
I'm sure everyones life is changing. I think our lives are a lot like the earth. They are moving, changing, and evolving every second of every day. It just takes us a minute to realize it sometimes, while other times it seems like its the only thing we can think about.

Recently, I've taken some big steps (or leaps). Not only has it been less than a year since our marriage, but Reed and I BOTH just received our Bachelors degrees. So now we are BOTH on the hunt for what our future looks like. While I truly believe I've been blessed with a calm spirit right now I'm slowly feeling the world starting to spin again. All of these unknowns are catching up to me and I'm beginning to get dizzy!

I don't know what the future holds for us. But I do know that God knows and there is a reason he brought Reed and I together when He did. One of my favorite verses ever is Luke 12: 27-28 it talks about how God has made the wild flowers beautiful and how they don't have to worry because they know he provides. I think that is a beautiful illustration for how we as believers should live our lives, and its what I'm trying to do now!
With all that we have changing, I'm beginning to worry. Not a ton, but its there. In the pit of my stomach I feel the heaviness and I feel the questions bubbling up inside me. I'm working on not worrying and trusting but I'm human so its kinda difficult :)

So, while I'm figuring all of this out I would like to ask ALL OF YOU for a favor. I love posting on here. And I know that I have people that read on a regular bases. Would you be honest, and I want brutal honesty. I want to hear anything and everything because I need to figure out where this is going. So, PLEASE share with me what you like, love, or not so much like about my blog. I want it to be something that can grow and change along with my life while being relevant to the readers.  I feel  like (actually, i know) recently it has been a little lacking in anything crafty or creative. But when I tried this giveaway to jump start that part of the blog again I didn't get a ton of interest.
Just humor me and leave me a comment explaining what is on your mind when my blog pops up on your newsfeed, phone, or whatever.

Thank you all for taking the time out of your always moving life to sit, and read my thoughts. It really does me so much to me!

And while I'm hear, dont for get about the giveaway!
