Shelf Before/After

I did this and a dresser for a friend ( will post that next) and I hope she forgives me because it has taken me almost all summer!  It was however the hottest summer in history so really couldn't get outside and work much.  Anyway her daughter has brown/pink themed bedroom so painted this shelf white w/detail and added wood decal in place of the cutout heart at top :)

Canvas Headboard

This is the second time this canvas has had a makeover.  First it was twine covered and hung above tv, but we moved and no longer had need for it.  Middle child needed a headboard and it just so happened to be the perfect size to go above a full bed.  So I just got two yards of fabric, stapled to the back, glued on trim  and hung on the wall.  Super easy!

Curbside Dresser

This one is still a work in progress but had to go ahead and post it. Gross old curbside dresser beside Jen's work.  she called and told me about it, and I happened to be near there on that blazing hot summer day, with only ONE kid for a change!  See it, look over, go to door and super tall guy comes out.  I ask if it is trash, he says yes.  Ask if I could have it, says yes again and got even luckier when he offered to help me load it up.  Despite Ashlee's "why is this man in our car" rant, it was easy and got it home wiith Jordan helping me unload it.  After summer heat subsided, sanded down, painted white and added mismatched knobs. Haven't gotten a drawer built for the middle missing one, but until then it's tutu covered.

Chandelier Before and After

My parents were selling their house in TX and asked if I wanted this brass chandelier; of course I took it!  Had it for a few months before deciding what to do with it.  Was asked to donate a charity event item and thought the chandelier would work.  Found these lollipop foot scrubbers at the dollar store--yeah, the words foot scrubber and lollipop should NEVER go together!!!  Doubting I'll ever eat a sucker again. :)  Anyway painted it purple, de-wired it, ribbon embellished and the lollipops were the perfect fit on top of the wiring after taking off the candle sleeves.  Hope it does well at the auction!

Nightstand Makeover

Friend Elizabeth had this off white chest of her grandmother's and wanted it blue like the vanity in my room.  I painted it Krylon Ocean Blue, distressed it a bit, then added black glaze with a little bit of honey pine stain on top of that.  Switched knobs to crystal and put a clear coat on it.
