Old painting, New painting, Next painting
Finished this yesterday. It had been sitting on my kitchen counter waiting for inspiration for over two weeks. I think that John was getting tired of cleaning around it (yes, he does clean the kitchen AFTER he cooks, how spoiled am I?) I was going to get silver polish and clean it and then on second thought if I did that it would have to stay cleaned so I painted it as is and sprayed it and it should stay this way. It is going in the For Sale pile because it really does not match in my house. 
This was the bug box that I painted last year for the boys to catch and capture fireflies. I "found" it again this year and we have not had a chance to use it. Hopefully soon although there do not seem to be as many fireflies this year.
These are the "next" project waiting for inspiration. The two on the left are hopefully going to be growth charts for the little girls, Gracelyn and Kendall and the one on the right is still waiting on some type of thought of what to do with it. It may get a small cupboard built behind it and used for storage in my sewing room unless John is too busy cooking to play carpenter. These needed sanded and I was trying to find the sawhorses until I realized that they were holding up some tool and not available. That is when the picnic table became the sawhorse.
Still trying to figure out how to get the measurements on the doors. I am thinking of gluing a tape measure up the sides of them...suggestions welcome.

Love the idea of the growth chart. I made one for my two but it's on either side of our kitchen door frame. I wish now that I had thought to make it removeable.
I want that train case for your giveaway so I'm going to put my thinking cap on to come up with some ideas. I'll be back later!
