Hanging out just down the road at one of those Saturday morning get togethers

*AKA* yard sale

Shes was a cheap date at only $2.70

With the rainbow of colors and vintage feel we have decided to finish the kitchen in,

she was destined to come home with us.

This is the before picture of the now COFFEE STATION.

Thats an old AC unit that started to smell very odd the last 2 yrs so it was removed.

Transition Period,

with the old coffee maker and vintage printers stamp drawer.

NEW and IMPROVED

She greets George every morning with his new coffee maker

and hot H2o system, for my tea.

On another note:

I finished off the perfect little bedside table.

Smooth white creamy finish.

White flower knobs on 3 drawers.

Its a great table made of solid pine.

This time around I didnt have to put feet on, it came this way.

THE TALE OF A SINGLE NIGHTSTAND bedside table makeover

I had been relegated to the corner

of my owners yard sale, like a child on a time-out.

No one looked at me, no one would talk to me.

Why should they I only had one drawer knob,

paint was falling off me, my drawers wouldnt even open. I was beyond chic, I was just shabby.

From my corner view I saw the nice couple drive

in. After looking around they bought a few of my

friends. One at a time the nice man would pay my

owner and then tuck each of them gently in their

car. I then began to pout. There I was hiding in the

corner with all hope running out.

All of a sudden the nice lady looked my way. Would she fork out the money and pay?

I got so excited!

She crossed the yard and started inspecting me,

she even turned me upside down to see.

Soon I was on my way to a new home.

She didnt think I was an ugly garden gnome!

.......

First, she came at me with a screw driver,

prying at my drawer.

I wasnt gonna give up that easy.

This was gonna be a chore.

Then came a pry bar and a hammer,

I thought this is really gonna hurt.

She got all my drawers open

with a lot of hard work,

So rather then a home for mice

I really started to feel rather nice.

Then I got some new paint,

my drawers were lined,

and I even got a new shine.

My drawers got new jewelry,

Shes not playing no tom foolery!

I live happily ever afterwith a nice lady they foundwhere I now live in her home town.THE ENDThis story is being told at:

BITS AND PIECES nightstand cabinet details

I get a large amount of comments suggesting

I must have the vision of each project in my head before I start.

This is NOT the case.

When I am in the mits of a building project there is a lot of sitting around and staring.

That doesnt sound quite right does it?

I sit back and look at what I have chosen to work with that day.

I look at each line, surface, and element on its own.

I suppose it is really shapes I see it my head.

How I want the shapes to be and figure out what I might have to create that look.

I started this project knowing I wanted the open space in the nightstands to have doors.

So off I go searching with a tape measure looking for something that might work.

What I found was the sliding panels that use to be part of this bookshelf,

but I used them sideways from their original install.

Yes ... thats the same shelf I showed you yesterday.

Told you then it was a long story.

Now that I had fun and interesting doors I had to trim

the boring flat drawer faces to have more character.

I have used this same trim on several different projects.

You can see another set of drawers I used it on here

and my bucket of it here.

With the original decoration on the door it only made sense

to mimic the look on the drawer face with the same shape, so I added the oval pull.

Im off to paint another bathroom vanity today so when I can find a bit more

time I will talk about more elements of the process and this cabinet.

Id love it if you would all stop into the Customers page

and take a peek at the newest photo and comment regarding their new vanity.

A PROVINCIAL PAIR nightstand and hiboy

Right now George is working countless hours running his business and doing deliveries,

which intern giving me extra time to work on painting guilt free.

This hiboy and nightstand are one of the latest projects that have been completed.

Id like to say it was a simple redo, and in simple terms it was.

No repairs were needed.

However it did take countless hours to pianted both pieces in Old White

Then wax both pieces, removing the excess as I went along.

Then washed them in thinned out Graphite chalk paint and remove the excess.

Wax and polish every inch of the dresser and table again.

Once all that was done,

I hand painted each handle with Graphite chalk paint highlighting the girly curves.

The final step was to prep the arborite tops with a primer.

Wrap the body in plastic and get them outside before spraying the top in a glossy black.

PAINTED HARDWARE single white distressed nightstand

I finished up another cute shabby chic bedside table

I added a set of cabriole legs.

Painted her in old white ASCP.

Distressed and waxed her so she is super soft to the touch.

But this post is about how I got the fabulous look of the new handles.

I sent the original hardware packing and hired these provincial handles

that I had already painted and given an aged look.

I did them when refinishing a tall boy last month

2011/09/different-looks-euro-tall-boy.html

I simple left the handles on the dresser when I sprayed the turquoise color.

Then lightly distressed with a few hits from the sand paper.

Dark Walnut stain was rubbed over them to add the aged look.

Wax was then applied to bring back the vibrant turquoise color before removing them

from the highboy and letting them set.

Now on the back-drop of the white paint they look marvelous.

I used 4 of them to finish a set of tables that have already found a new home,

and the final 2 to finish this single night stand below.
