Getting ready for the next fair...

Hi Everyone!  I know I've been absent lately, but I've been busy getting ready for my big fair in three weeks and my Holiday Open House next month.  I was so busy this weekend that I forgot to take any pictures of things in process.  But I did take some pictures today after I had started priming things last night.
 I finally turned this full size headboard and foot board into a bench and primed it in black.  My plan right now is to paint the top coat in ASCP Graphite or Paris Grey.  Any thoughts?
 This is the base of a backless bench that I primed in black.  I think I'm going to paint it in one of my favorite colors Lagoon and the top stained? maybe?
 I built this twin bench and the boards sitting on it belong to the backless bench base in the previous picture.  I think I'm going to paint it in ASCP Paris Grey.
 I made a decorative ladder out of 1x2's and spindles from a Jenny Lind Crib.  I have primed it brown and I'm paining it in ASCP Old White.
 I made two of these headboard shelves.  I still need to add the pegs to them.  I have primed it in brown and top coat in Heirloom White.  I still need to distress them.
 And my favorite thing I built this weekend, a kid's table.  I see this going to a little girl (because of the turned legs).  I'm going to paint it white.  I primed the legs but had to stop for the night because it was getting dark.
And I made two matching chairs to go with it.  I can't wait to get back out there and finish up all of these pieces.  And in case you think I worked all weekend on these things....I also went to my parents and helped my mom with things for the guest room she's redoing.  I gave her the Paris Grey bench that didn't sell at the last fair for her guest room.  So it was a very productive weekend.  And hopefully this weekend will be equally productive.  Hope you are having a great week.  Thanks for stopping by.
