SEW WHAT?

Good morning everyone !

Just a quick little makeover that I did for my daughter last week.



Her Mother-in-law had found this sewing table by the curbside and brought it over - Lindsay wanted color
( she's not a white distressed kind of girl - she's into color MOM !!! )


and so Mama gave her some color


complete with silver slippers


and a hidden message inside


We had a bit of a " debate " over dirty waxing - but I think the next time I go see her I'll have a tin of dark wax hidden in the bottom of my purse............


I used ANNIE SLOAN CHALK PAINT ™ - Emperor's silk - and a grey made by mixing Graphite & Pure White ( looks almost like Paris Grey actually )

Ok - here I go - paint brush in hand - waving good-bye !
I'm doing a dresser and desk now :)

Have a great Thursday all !
Much love,
Me

COUNTRY DRESSER AND END TABLE MAKEOVER !


I'm tired !
Too tired to write up a proper post even - so I'll just bombard you with photos ( that's easier than actually thinking



I've had a paint brush in my hand every day now for 3 weeks..................


The knobs look like different colors
They're not ( just lighting ) !





Before & After - dresser makeover - white

2 dressers
2 mirrors
2 end tables
1 armoire
1 mantel

Done and delivered

That's NOT including a headboard and sewing table I redid for my daughter somewhere in the middle of those 3 weeks :)

Now on to the 5 pieces that are sitting in the porch waiting to be done :)

Have a wonderful day everyone
HAPPY CANADA DAY TO MY FELLOW CANUCKS !

And CONGRATS to the American Ladies Soccer Team - Go Go Go !

Hugs,
( not very tight ones because of all the waxing and buffing I've been doing - but hugs none the less ! )
