Rockingchair, bedside table and other news

So we're back from a fun weekend in Cincinnati where we went for Jay's dad retirement party.
It was a total surprise for Don to see everybody together. Liane and Barb did a great job at planning the party and keeping it a secret! And we all had a great time playing golf! Pictures will be posted soon.
But for now, may I present you with our refinished rockingchair! We bought that old rockingchair in a thrift store, sanded it, primed it, sanded it again and painted it white.
I know my mom will love that chair!

The priming process (2 coats of primer)

Done!

And we also have a bedside table in the making. We are not done yet, it still needs some love, but here's some pics.

Taking off the old drawer knobs (still need to find new ones!)

Sanding

Ready for its first coat of paint! Hopefully it will be finished over memorial day weekend.
