Dresser

I bought this beaut at a yard sale for $10.  She had seen better days, bless her heart.  I gave her some lovin'.

First, I stripped her drawers...then her top.  That old, yucky paint come off like buttah.  Then I glazed her with some dark brown glaze and spray painted her hardware with hammered black.

Then she said thank you.

Now for the funny of the day:

Metal Shelves

I bought the yellow shelves at an estate sale for $5.  They were in pretty rough shape as you can tell.  I sanded and sanded and sanded a little bit more and then sprayed and sprayed and sprayed some more.  And then I hung them on the wall in our booth at Vineyards Antique Mall and some sweet person bought them - yay sweet person!


Now for the funny of the day:

Cabinet

First of all, let me say I'm sorry for the not-so-great iPhone pictures.  I bought this cabinet at an estate sale for $5.  I thought I'd take it home and strip it and give it a few coats of dark stain.  Got it home and realized it was made out of plywood and the best bet would probably be to paint it.

So I watered down some seafoam green paint and slapped on a couple of coats.  Let that dry and then dry brushed on some dark brown glaze and this is what it turned out looking like:

I can't tell if she's pretty or...

...pretty ugly.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's the first one!


Now for the funny of the day:

 

Unique Baker's Rack

The baker's rack is hidden in there somewhere.  It's really unique - have never seen another one like it.

Bombay Chest

This pretty black and gold bombay-style chest is on sale for $225.  (I'll tell you more about the wooden dude sitting on top of this in another post.)

English Cradle

This 1900's English Cradle can be yours for the small price of $75.


High Cotton Pickers is located inside the Vineyards Antique Mall in Colleyville.

Folding Screen & Rocking Chair & Twig Table

My husband and I both worked really hard on that rocking chair.  We've got it priced at $30 - can't beat that deal.

Here's what the rocker looked like when I bought it:

It's come a long way, hasn't it?

I gave the twig table a coat of black paint on the top and then sprayed the whole thing with a clear coat to protect it.  I think this table would look awesome on somebody's front porch with a big 'ol plant on it.

Finally, the folding gilded gold screen is just absolutely stunning. 

Rocking chair and twig table are:
