Being a GIRL...I JUST call it a HAND SANDER!!

I am not very techy...I can use and get my way around a computer, files, photo shop etc etc...but don't ask me the PROPER TERMS... I don't know!!! I might agree and nod...but inside my head its full of question marks!! But if I can use it...do I really need to know the proper NAMES?? I think not!! I've been now introduced to SANDERS...WOO HOO...so exciting!!! I have a LOVE AFFAIR with old antiques...don't worry my Husband KNOWS...everyone knows...lol...its quite funny...I'll receive emails telling me where something old is located......usually by the side of the road..lol..which is FINE!! I do believe that anything can be fixed up...if you see something run down, battered and tattered...but you see something more in it...you see what it could be...then take it!! Love for things can make your home the most perfect place in the whole world...I think!! Its better than going to your local department/furniture store...buying something quite expensive and its really not made properly....pieces back then where made to LAST...not now a days..things break too easily!!

I used to sand pieces of furniture by hand...now granted it might have helped me lose a pound here or there...but then that pound would go back on after I made my cookies or other delectables!! BUT now we bought a sander...and the power behind that...I feel like I could sand anything...and I promised my Hubby that he wouldn't come home from work and see the HOUSE SANDED!! What use to take me a LONG TIME now takes me a few minutes...at least it feels like that!!! So...for fun I took some old pieces in the house..things that we don't really use...and tried sanding them...and repainting them..with an antique-y chic look...I think I did OK!!  You take a look...and now I am putting them up for sale on Kijiji!! Gotta build that PEI FUND!!

Plain Black table...Stone Harbour Beige and ol' Paint  rubbed through!

My OLD night table as a child, done is Shy Voilet/White and new  Knobs!

I think Hubby is even getting into the spirit of sanding and refurbishing...be brought home an Secretary's Desk for me to redo....I've got ideas rattling around in my head.....
