He never retreated from being bold for Christ; he never backed down:"Be out-and-out for him; unfurl your colours, never hide them, but nail them to the mast, and say to all who ridicule the saints, 'If you have any ill words for the followers of Christ, pour them out upon me… but know this – ye shall hear it whether you like it or not, – “I love Christ.'” (Spurgeon) A Joyful Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604235087317891071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-75842530828636345352020-09-21T10:49:58.318-07:002020-09-21T10:49:58.318-07:00Oh, I read Spurgeon daily.

I love each of the tables you've redone and I can't wait to see what you do with your new, little table. I bought a dining room table at our local thrift store. It was marked one ninety dollars but the lady gave it to me for sixty because it had been there for awhile and she wanted to use the space for something else. I've been using it as is, but it needs to be painted. Want to come help me paint it? My dear, little mother enjoyed the Spurgeon Morning and Evening devotionals in her last years. I have them on my bookshelf and plan to start enjoying them soon.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-69621309141753912692020-08-29T09:34:52.347-07:002020-08-29T09:34:52.347-07:00You have an eye and gift from God, to spot somethi...You have an eye and gift from God, to spot something and then to make it new again.<br />What a blessing for us to see you create and be happy!<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690722786561637489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-49024716494378056722020-08-26T12:39:21.107-07:002020-08-26T12:39:21.107-07:00The white paint on your secret garden patio table ...The white paint on your secret garden patio table is perfect.

Searching the internet for homes, asking permission to use photos and then down loading them and eventually writing the post after awhile became overwhelming and no longer enjoyable. I’ve always said when blogging is no longer fun, I’ll quit. Or at least change directions. And that’s what I did.

Even though you have gray in the carpet and chair I might paint it Annie Sloan gray and then do a dry brush white over the gray. Or white base/legs and a darker wood top. I would just move away from the yellow tones of that light wood. Good solid wood score.

And love what you did to the little table by your chair. Great idea... so fun to find inspiration on Pinterest isn't it? It looks just perfect there with your lamp. Also love the curvy legged table... it looks so sweet and sturdy. Of course me, I would paint it white or cream.. but not sure what else you have in your living area for colors. I say I would paint it, but I haven't painted anything for years, other than spray painting a few outdoor pieces. I love spray paint! So easy.If I was brave, I would paint something pink for inside my house! Happy Birthday to your granddaughter... how proud you must be that she is going for her CNA license!
