Painting Grace

How do you maximize beautiful Fall weather and time? Get project #2 done!

Freshen up the tables used to display flowers and vegetables.

My Dad always taught me to use quality paint for projects. Good prep and your painting project will be successful.

Back story on the tables if you have read this far…when I first had the idea to open the nursery I knew many items would be needed. It was a bit overwhelming.

One Saturday afternoon, husband and I “happened” upon these metal bistro tables at the big box store on close-out for $20 each!

I was so excited and bought two. Once we realize they fit easily into the car, back I went to the store for a few more. Praying the whole way through the parking lot, “How many should I get? How many will he let me load up in his car?” Lol

Settling on five (the number for grace) I drove home a very happy shopper! Happier yet, husband assembled them all the very next day. That was a miracle right there!

The tables remind me the plans to start the nursery were sown with good seed and although the next season has to wait until Spring 2026, the Lord has a plan as I wait on Him.

Hope you enjoyed reading my grace story.

Looking forward, and thank you for following Twelve Leaves Garden Nursery.

* Paint used Sherwin Williams DMC acrylic black. Water cleanup. Experience with this paint has proven it is tough and can hold up to the weather.

Rolling Along

So how does one begin again when unexpected happenings in life occur?

Right back where you left off.

Picking up a brush and opening up the gallon of stain/sealer purchased this summer before it got hot.

It may not look like much of anything, but it sure felt good to be out in the hoop house starting over again.

Before pictures…glad we moved the pallets undercover at the end of the Spring season. My son replaced several of the boards and they are looking good. Stain and the sealer will help too.

I used a roller and the project moved pretty fast.

The added boards helped the 1-gallon pots to stay steady on the pallets.

Project One done!

Thank you for following along with my family and I in our Garden Nursery.
