A few projects...

With a little over a month away from Farm Chicks, it's time to put the pedal to the metal and get things happening around here!! Progress is slow, as life is inevitably busy with four active children, but little by little I get there (no, I "aint" no overachiever, that's for sure...!!) I have been working on a few projects, and still have many more to finish. I thought I would share a few I have finished...



This box was already darling but a bit plain... Instant transformation with a stencil and paint!



I found this little cabinet at a garage sale, but the body had some hand painted flowers that were not my style... So, a little stripper did the job, I love how it turned out!



Another thrift find, this chair was unpainted and had a brown leather seat cover (sorry, I forgot to take a "before" picture...!). Some paint and a stenciled linen cover and the transformation is dramatic!




This table was a lovely CL find, I love how unusual it is... 


I gave it a first coat of turquoise and a dry brush coat of white over it, a little distressing and glazing, and it looks awesome (even though I had a hard time painting over that gorgeous wood...!!)



I've also been sewing up a storm, but I will leave that for the next post... Have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Great makeovers! But, I think your bread box is actually a milk bottle box. When the milk man used to deliver milk to your door this is the box he would leave your milk in. That's why it is insulated. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure. We keep dog food in ours. Hope you have a great show!
