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.
