15 weeks.

Here I am with baby #6 and 15 weeks down...
I'm even wearing some "skinny" maternity jeans, which I think is hilarious. 
A week from Mon. we'll find out what this little blessing is.
Our count right now is 4 boys, and 1 girl...
 
 I still hope to write a post about our big farmhouse porch.
The table behind me my husband built along with the bench...


 
Rockin the bump!!
God is Good!!
 
Blessings from our nest to yours,

Just a few updated pics of Thrifty Nest...

We have three boys playing football the fall,  should be exciting,  and look forward to watching them.

This year we have an 8th grader, 4th grader, 3rd grader, and preschooler... They are all growing to fast!  Our 14 year old son got his learner's permit.  The state we live in allows 14 with drivers Ed.






Be blessed,  and stay tunes for some exciting news.  Can ya guess what it may be?

PB inspired buffet.

We've recently built a farm house table and a bench. 
I'm also in the process of redoing some Queen Ann chairs...post to come. :)

We had this piece of furniture in our tv room.  I used it as an entertainment center/toy storage.  I hadn't done anything with it.  It was a maple color with brass hardware.
I was about to just sell it, when I remembered seeing a cute black buffet of course in Pottery Barn.

Naturally I got out the black spray paint and started the drab to fab.



Please over look the quality of the pictures.  I can't find my camera, these are taken with my phone.

I had everything here already I used on the buffet.  
I'm so pleased with how it turned out.
It also pulls in the bench we painted black at our large farm house.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week.

Farmhouse hutch on the front porch.

We've been waiting to finish our front porch.  I've always loved the idea of having a big ole' front porch.  I'm from the south, ya know...
With being a family of seven, we wanted to build one that would fit us all, and would be fun for entertaining.

 I just recently traded an old table for this hutch.
LOVE it!
It sits right where the farmhouse table will be, and acts as a serving station when needed.


 The hutch was original a display for candles...which is why it has the hole.
I love it to store things in, and the cutting board above I can place on top if I need the surface space.


 Everything on the hutch I've had around the house, or stored in the garage.


 Here's the farmhouse table my husband built me...I'll post about it later.
He actually built me two...one for the porch and one for inside.
I'll post about the Queen Ann chairs I'm redoing later.
The tables are waiting to be vanished.

Have a blessed day,
Our Thrifty Nest of 7
