I’ve slowly been churning out projects in the new year. More often than not, when I pick-up a piece of furniture while thrifting it comes home and promptly takes up space in my garage …. until further notice. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. Anyone care to fess up?
Well I began this year on the right foot. Kinda. Sorta. ‘ish!
Truth be told, I picked this up at Savers and then drove around with it for a week! At this time of year all painting takes place in the house because the garage is too cold! SO between the relentless snow and the weight of this thing I had to wait to get help bringing it in.
Finally, the stars aligned and it ended up in my kitchen – on a furniture dolly. Perfect! Even with the drawers removed, this puppy was still heavy to lift onto the dolly.
After a little TLC.
I tried out Behr Primer & Paint in one. The verdict is – I like it! The color is Artist’s Canvas.
I took the 1st photo without a flash and this next one with a flash so the true color is somewhere in between.
A little distressing and some Wipe On Poly to finish it off. (Although the WOP does a good job I was a little overwhelmed with the odor.) I was on the fence about the pulls but in the end just gave them a good cleaning. I do declare “I like ‘em!”.
I’m taking space in a brand spanking new shop in March so I guess this will be rolling around my kitchen until then.
So what do you have hidden in your garage?
You did a great job. It looks fabulous!!! ~~Sherry~~

ReplyDeleteI love how your piece turned out. Mr. Sissie gets upset with me when I paint in the house.
ReplyDeleteI tend to get little specks of paint on the wood floors and I'm always cleaning it up! LOL!
My garage has a few things in it headed for the shop. It's just the way it is with we junkers or ah, treasure hunters.

That turned out really great! I love the details on it, and you distressed it to perfection. I think someone will snap it up right away!
ReplyDeleteWhat's in my garage? Just a couple of plant stands that won't get painted white until it reaches 50 degrees, along with a couple of those metal lawn chairs that I found at the curb that need a paint job too. What's in my shed? A few things that I want to transform into one big potting table. What's in the back of my van, or rolling shed, as I like to call it? Alright, that's enough with the questions!
I wish I had just a speck of your talent. That is a nice makeover on that cabinet.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful transformation. Good luck with your new shop.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
