We Are Growing Thanks To You!

From My Front Porch is growing by leaps and bounds and I am so very thankful for that! Along with growth comes exciting changes like the blog makeover, more giveaways, some product reviews, and the addition of new blog Sponsors! I am happy to announce that From My Front Porch To Yours has FOUR new sponsors!
Folky Art Candles y'all already know from the gracious giveaway April helped me host. It went well so she decided to become a Sponsor.
 I personally have some of her goodies and they are so yummy smelling! The perfect gift for those upcoming Holiday Parties.
I am so excited to introduce y'all to Jennifer from The Magic Brush! I have been following Jennifer's blog for years now and was excited when she said she wanted to become  a sponsor.
Jennifer is a faux finisher and everything she touches turns into something beautiful! She works out of Kansas City, Missouri and always has wonderful projects to share from faux painting in large expansive homes to road side trash transformations. In the very near future Jennifer will also have her own line of Instructional Videos so we all can learn her tricks of the trade! You can Follow Along With Jenn and see what she is up to over at The Magic Brush Facebook Page. 
Eddie & Eva makes handmade natural soaps.
Their soaps are made with skin loving ingredients like natural butters, oils, goats milk, and coconut milk. I just love the little bag they come in! Their soaps would make great stocking stuffers!;) From now until Oct. 28, 2013 you can get 15% off your order using discount code MyFrontPorch!
The Farmhouse Porch you all may know from their blog. Linsey is a wonderful gal that has a passion for anything vintage with farmhouse charm. 
She offers up some of her finds in her Etsy shop along with her custom paintings!

Thank you ladies for becoming Sponsors of From My Front Porch To Yours!

If you are interested in becoming a Sponsor you can find out more information at the top of my page under Advertise. 

Now off to clean up this ol' kitchen for some picture taking!

How I Created a Grain Sack Table

Today I spent the afternoon making a grain sack table. 
Yesterday I met up with Linsey from The Farmhouse Porch and Anita from Cedar Hill Ranch for lunch and some shopping at Old Town Spring. I had promised myself before we went that I was going to be good and not spend any money.
Well, I broke that promise when I spotted this adorable little farmhouse table. I HAD to bring it home with me because it was a great price which made me not feel too bad about breaking my promise!;)
I knew when I bought it I would be making it over. The orange red color just was not working for me and as you can see it had been loved big time. It even had a crack down the center but that was fine with me. It added to its charm.
After painting the entire table Country Grey I decided it needed something more. Since it had the crack down the center I knew I had to make this little table into a grain sack table. I could not find any painters tape so I just found a straight edge and drew the outer lines of the grain sack stripe.
I hand painted the stripes in black.
I actually liked that I didn't have perfectly straight lines. 
Next up I white washed the top.
White washing the top though left paint in the cracks of the table. I did not like that so out came the tooth floss!:)
Next I decided to use my AS Craqueleur to add some more age to the piece.
My hair dryer is always by my side when I am using Craqueleur. I am just too impatient to wait for it to dry on its own.
The top of table has only been clear waxed. The bottom portion has been clear waxed and then I added a little dark wax to bring out all the cracks.
Here is what I ended up with. I was quite pleased with the results. It looks like it was painted years ago.
I even took the grain stack stripe side down the sides.
I am so glad I found this little table yesterday and so glad I got to hang out with some fabulous ladies! I can't wait till our next outing.
Linking up to the following parties:
