Transformed Trunk


I have been waiting to do something with this little trunk I got at an auction some time ago. I knew I was going to use it somewhere even if it was just for a brief period. I should have taken some more pictures of the process. It had been painted several times with lots of different colors. I had some left over paint from another project in a deep gold. After priming with white, the gold was next. I used a stencil with some craft paint, followed by a dark stain. I put it outside to dry in the HOT sun of Mississippi! Next I sanded pretty heavily to get an aged look. It is resting under my bedroom window for a little while anyway.

A New Life

I was looking for a picture in my files and found this redo I did last year of a cute little side table I bought about 30 years ago. The girls used it for awhile before Max inherited it. It ended kind of sadly til the redo. It has been sold to a new home!

A Green kinda Day!

My newest furniture makeovers....The large print with pistachio and white flower has a fawn and gray background that covers the seat of the chair. The knobs have green polka dots. Its a fun piece.
