Chest/Mirror turned Buffet/Chalkboard



I recently decided to redo my kitchen on the cheap. I was so over the red, and luckily my friend painted it for me, how nice is that!! As far as decor, I love pottery barn but not gonna pay their prices!! So...instead of paying $1500 for a buffet i paid about $40 for this whole set. It is a chest but we use it as a buffet-slash-kid's stuff storage. Since they color in the kitchen all the time, one side holds all their supplies and the other napkins/paper plates, and also the junk drawer..so glad to have the kitchen just for kitchen stuff now!! Anyway i painted the mirror with chalkboard paint and sanded and refinished the chest and repainted the hardware. I may paint the bottom part and leave the top in the wood finish but for now here it is. Loving it!

Random Stuff I made



The Bota Box I made for a friend's halloween costume and the pumpkin is one I painted. Have lots more to post, will do soon!

Curio Before/After


A friend and I traded - she did photography for me and I redid her curio.  I painted black and distresed/replaced knobs.  Was very hard work but I am quite happy with it.
