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 ! )

Good morning everyone !!!

Someone contacting me about painting a bedroom set a couple of weeks ago - we picked it up last weekend and so this is what I've been working on all week

Here's the end table - the dresser's not quite ready

I don't know why the distressing is not showing in the above photo !

I added a little something on the interior of the door

Metallic end table makeovers!

Good morning everyone !

Last week we picked up ( or were given I should say ) these really pretty end tables when we purchased a
head and foot board.

I was overwhelmed with this girl's generosity - and we needed a couple of these badly for our bedroom!

They were in excellent shape - but the wood just wasn't for me

I primed them before painting them ( this is not like Chalk Paint - you really have to prime first )

and got out my Modern Masters ( ME 150 Silver ) and went to town

Pretty lines but just a little boring, no?

I remembered I still had these from Michaels ( purchased these a long time ago to embellish a door
Door with Annie Sloan's signature
They're meant for scrapbooking I suppose but make really cute furniture appliques !

And the great thing is that they have adhesive on the back - so you can try them out before adding them permanently!

Yep, these will be staying permanently - just the right little touch don't you think?

I'll be putting a couple of coats of water based polyurethane on tomorrow because this paint definitely needs it - but I just love their metallic colors!

Since the tables were free - and I had the paint and the appliques - this was a cost free project

Here you can see why I needed SMALL endtables for either side of the bed - and sorry but I can't make the bed today - it's too hot to even contemplate doing it lol
I have to pick up a couple of lamps - these look a little ridiculous - still trying to find the perfect wall sconce with swing arm lamps.

By the light....................of the silvery moon ( which reminds me - I went skinny dipping at midnight a couple of nights ago ) Probably won't ever do it again - but it was soooooooooo hot and really I just went out to sit and try to cool off a little - and there sat this glistening pool - and so I kind of slinked out of my nightie and quickly slinked into the pool.
And did a few laps - by the light.............of the silvery moon ( quite literally )

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone - and a very happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians

I'm extremely proud and very grateful to have been MADE IN CANADA !!!
Much love,

I'll be at these parties !

End table before and after

Good Morning All !!! I'm guest posting over at Kathe with an E's today - come by and check out another panic stricken moment in my crazy world......................if in fact it's today lol - she only asked that I SUBMIT it today - it may be for tomorrow's post actually!
In the meantime I had already posted this so you get
a double dose this morning

How do you like my catchy title? Whoa talk about a bad case of " writer's block " lol - I really need everyone's honest opinion on this one - because I also have a bad case of " painters block ".

I tried gray - my go to color usually - uh uh - no like -
Than I tried all cream - uh uh - too boring
Than I tried white - uh uh - too stark -
and this is what I've ended up with - just a quick reminder of the before

I painted the top with Kathy Van Gogh Chalk Paint ( first time trying it - and LOVE it ) called "mascara" and the bottom half with a behr color I already had..................

spray painted the gorgeous handles black

and was just getting ready to start distressing - actually had the sand paper in my hand - and for some reason thought this piece did not need it at all - I kind of like it the way it is - what do you think?

should I just leave well enough alone?
sometimes well enough - is enough

calling out to the universe, should it be distressed? can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the set -
( you can see it HERE if you missed that post )

oh and did I mention that we bought this on the weekend - BECAUSE I SOLD THE LAST TABLE SET!!!
to a young girl that says it's her dream come true table and chairs - sometimes this business does the soul good!

guess I'm going to be " busy busy busy " - like this creep - and bracing myself for Sandy who is scheduled to arrive here shortly.................( the storm to beat all others )

big points if you can remember who he is lol ( hint : he comes to town every winter )
