Repurposed Storage Table

I enjoy DIY projects, especially re-purposing furniture.  Here's an easy project I did on a wooden storage table.  As you can see in the photos below, this is an old wooden furniture.  My husband and I tried giving it away a few times to friends but somehow we still got stuck with it.  Now, I'm glad we weren't successful in getting rid of it, it's one of my favorite re-purposed furniture I've done so far.  With this project I used:  sand paper, black high gloss paint, black glossy spray paint, white spray paint, screwdriver, paint brushes, scrap-booking paper, and mod podge.

1.  I first unscrewed the hinges to remove the doors.  Then I lightly sanded everywhere that I was going to paint over, including the individual doors that I removed.  

2.  I painted three even coats of black.  While that sat and dried, I removed all the brass pieces on the door, including the brass hinges.  An even coat of white spray paint is laid over the brass pieces.  Once the white coat was completely dried, I went over it with the black glossy spray paint.

3.  The front of the doors had a very old look to it so I decided to cut a piece of scrapbook paper and mod podge it on.   

4.  After everything was completely dried, I screwed all pieces back to place.

5.  FINISHED!  Felt like I owned a newly bought piece of furniture!

Foil Wrapped and Oven Baked Salmon & Asparagus

So here's a fancy looking dinner that's easy and delicious!  Here are the ingredients:

Asparagus (as many as you like)
Piece of salmon (your size preference)
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Cajun seasoning
Lemon pepper seasoning

Follow these steps:

Butter, Salt & Pepper for the asparagus.

Seasoning for the salmon.  Before prepping, preheat
oven to 350 degrees.
Lay asparagus down on a piece of foil.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cut pieces of butter and spread out evenly on top of asparagus.


Lay salmon on top and season with onion powder, garlic powder,
lemon pepper, and cajun seasoning.  ***If you're a spicy eater, like my
daughter, put more cajun seasoning than the other spices.  If you're more
like me and prefer less spicy food, take it easy on the cajun
seasoning and go a little heavier on the lemon pepper for flavoring.
Fold the bottom and top of the foil over to completely
cover the salmon and asparagus.


Next, roll the foil in on both sides so it looks like this.  Place
on cookie sheet and cook in the oven for
about 30 minutes. 

Dinner is served!!!
