Mini Project

I just painted the hardware on this dresser.

After
Brass to silver, It seems to make the wood finish look darker which I like.

My dresser reveal

We were very busy yesterday. Now that I do a bit of work from home I don't have as much time to project (well its probably the farmville and yoville that bite into that time) but I did finish some projects this week. There is something about fall and the holiday months that make me want to craft and create. I finished my dresser turned buffet. It was one of my favorite furniture remakes because it was SOOO easy. All flat surfaces means sander and I just love that. I sanded between every layer and it its nice and smooth now. I feel like I am getting the hang of refinishing furniture and I love it.


Right now it just has pumpkins on it because its the holidays so it won't have a regular display until after Christmas.

These are some of my linens. I have some cloth napkins, tablecloths and place mats all blue. I guess I need to expand on my color pallet. Oh well I love blue in the kitchen.



I love how it turned out I love the subtle grey and it really made the dining area actually feel like one. I might put a lamp on it later.

My Latest and greatest Sneak Peak

This dresser is my latest project. Our neighbor just sold his house so they were getting rid of furniture and we got this dresser for free. Yay for that. Anyway it is solid wood and I was going to put it in Eva's room but I didn't have anything to put in it there (Alexander and Eva share a massive dresser) So I was thinking about it for 4 days and finally realized I could make it a buffet for the dinning area to hold the kitchen linens. I also decided I wanted it gray. I am obsessed with the color gray right now.

I sanded it

Then I found some gray spray paint primer. This is so much easier than primer with a brush! and it looks neater with no brush marks.

I will post pictures when I get it all the way done. I just need one coat of paint and a roller (waiting on Daniel for the roller) then I will show you what it looks like.
