Well, I've been completing a lot of projects lately and I wanted to throw them all out there to "show off" as it were. ;) I'm having so much fun with this new hobby of mine that it doesn't seem like work at all! And plus it's fun getting a little bit of money to use however I want (which usually means buying presents for our house).
Enjoy! And please let me know what you think!
This cutie was painted with ASCP Napoleon Blue and then before it completely dried I wiped off some of it to create a different look. It originally had six drawer pulls so I filled in four of them and only kept the necessary two, which I think looks better. I also spray painted the hardware black and I like that better too. This is really a great piece because it's so versatile. It will be listed for sale.
This precious little dresser was a fun and easy project. I gave it two coats of ASCP French Blue and then sanded it with my palm sander to smooth out the finish and really distress it nicely. I finished it out with some new wax (which I love!) and just popped the original hardware back on to finish it out. This has been a really popular piece and is also for sale.
This little desk was a really fun project! I picked it up off of CL for a steal and then realized it was over 50 years old! I sanded and then stained the top with Dark Walnut and painted the base ASCP Antibes Green. It sold in less than a week but I was a little sad to see it go.
Well, my little urchins are awake and needing me so I must dash. Enjoy!

Great restyles! I love your color choices. It's hard to let our restyles go, but as long as there going to a good home it's okay.
I love that desk! The color couldn't be more perfect. Great job! Found you through MMS :)
I can see why you would hate to see that desk go. I just ordered duck egg blue for a piece that my daughter tried to talk me into this very green for. If I had seen your post before I ordered, the green would have scored much higher with me!
Thanks, y'all! Yeah, I really love that green. Unfortunately I spilled some of it or else I would do another piece in it, but I did get a few things done. I'm always amazed at how far the chalk paint goes!
Just picked up another desk today and I'm liking French Blue for it, but we'll see. Thanks for the encouragement!
I forgot about the green desk--I love it SO much!! And everything else...
such good work! i do love seeing your projects! before, during, and after! :) miss you all!
