Okay so quick recap..go here to see the old one.
to catch you up after we scraped all that yucky stuff off, we sanded it.
then I put two coats of "springfield" on it.
full body shot picture if you will, I think you will..
next I took a block sander to all the corners and sides that I wanted to, I also to a nail and scraped down the top to give the stain something to grab hold of
and Here is the finished product with me in the mirror..HI!
a couple more close ups...
(We have two different types of knobs on them because I like the circles and Brent likes the rings) maybe after a year of looking at them
I'm VERY happy with it, I think it will go perfect in our "New" room
...AND... for those of you who don't know I will be the big 27 in just a short 10 days. My Sweet friend, Michelle all the way in Cali sent me these mugs as a early bday present, (chelle, I'm drinking coffee in them, well one, right now!)
and there you have it! My first piece of "distressed" furniture...I think I'm addicted. $75 dollars for a dresser at goodwill, that you could probably buy at Nadeau for $1200...It's definitely got SOUL!
Have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteIm makin a new kitchen table out of some real old wood. The top will be stained but the table skirt and legs will be painted and then sanded edges and what not so maybe you can show me how to do it.

Haha Alan, your mom is the queen of redo...
ReplyDeleteBut I would love to help, Brent did most of the sanding and scraping...I did the picking out of the paints and stains, and then the final touches:)
thanks everybody for your inputs, but personally I like the mixture of knobs, it looks like it came out of a real live antique store that way:)!
