CABINET PIECE (great for a nightstand or entry way)

This was painted in a grey and creme.

Beautiful white cabinets (Before and After)

I love how these turned out. Painted white, decoupaged the floral paper on them and added the new glass like green knobs. They were absolutely adorable! My sister bought them and is using them for her daughters room.

ANTIQUE DESK (BEFORE/AFTER)

I worked on this cute desk. I've primed it. I wanted to share with you the before photo and the after. It turned out great! :)

Sconces

Here are some sconces I've painted and updated. The black one I painted black and added metallic silver, gold and a deep red. It was originally a horrible Incredible Hulk green.

The matching sconces were a mustard color. I painted them creme and put a dark brown glaze on them. The pair is for sale for $45.00. Measurements - 13" tall x 10 1/2" wide on top. The shelf from front to back is 7" deep

Mirror

I turned an old mirror into something I think is pretty cool. It would look great in a bathroom or bedroom. It has hardware on it is to hang vertically. You could hang it or rest it on a piece of furniture and lean up against the wall. The measurements are 47"x29". It's for sale for $52.00.

Cabinet (AFTER)

I had to do quite a bit of work to this piece but it turned out amazing. The pictures really don't do it justice. I had to sand down the top and I applied a gel stain. I then applied a glaze to all the cracks and corners of the piece. I decided to keep the inside dark because it gives some character. This piece never had glass in the door. I thought it would be perfect for a large bathroom to hold towels and baskets for toiletries. This is for sale for $172.00. Measurements 42 1/2" high x 28" wide x 17" deep. The shelves inside are 14 1/2" x 24".

Cabinet (BEFORE)

This is my absolute favorite find! I find pieces, fix them up then fall in love with them, yikes! It's hard to not keep it ALL!

Cabinet Door turned into a chalkboard

My sister wanted me to turn an old cabinet door into a chalkboard for her while I visited over Thanksgiving. Here was the outcome. Primed, painted, distressed then added some stain to the areas distressed. I also worked on my mom's coffee table. Unfortunately I did not get an after photo of it but you get the idea.
