Project I
A long long time ago........When Adam and I got married......were weren't what you would like to call rich. So we bought a bedroom set from a flea market. I hated it - but it worked - so we kept it. While Adam was gone for work for a couple of weeks I had some friendly visitors!! So friendly in fact that they helped me give new life to my sad furniture. Pictured here is Chelsea(sister in law/ furniture extraordinaire) !! She is giving a little vanilla frosting to my otherwise dark and gloomy dresser. She saw its potential and just kept going. The end result brightens my room and makes me so happy! I picked the crazy blue color for the knobs. Adam hates them....but they are growing on him.
It's not quite as yellow as it looks in this picture. The lighting in my room isn't great...but that will have to wait for another day!!! Chelsea also painted my bedside tables to match and they are adorable!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with my saddies bedroom furniture!! Their self-esteem is back from the 70s!!
Project II
My mother in-law was so kind and found this adorable hutch for me when we moved into our house. It needed a little tlc!! Luckily Sonnie, my dear friend / furniture extraordinaire, came to visit the week after Chelsea. She and Jessie helped me bring this old girl to life!
I don't know why the picture makes my house look likes it's sloping down......weird!! Probably the fault of the photographer! sorry! But there she is in all her glory! It makes me happy to see her every time I walk into the room! I am now redoing some chairs and a table that go with the hutch! Pictures will come later!!ALSO---Special thanks to Jessie for her help!!!
