The Lovely White


Introducing... The Lovely White

BEFORE

AFTER

This is an old dresser I was lucky enough to stumble upon one day.
Probably one of the best finds I've ever come upon.
It was a quite rickety and needed alot of work as you can see from close up pictures below.I managed to restore the missing pieces and with a covering of paint,
miracles can happen.

There were cracks and chips in the edges, then the detailed work on the front of it was all chipped off and coming off. So that took a little repairing.

Charcoal Grey China Hutch


This is a china cabinet I finished a few weeks ago.
I wish I could find a before picture but I couldn't find one.
When I got the hutch I had no shelving so I just measured the inside and ordered 2 pieces of 1/4'' glass.





Here is a detailed look at the bottom

Lovely little Desk

This lovely little desk found a new home this morning. I finished it last week when I had time off. It turned out really good. I like that it turned out very neutral with the Charcoal Grey finish. It will look good in an office and not be too girly.

Finished Grey Dresser


This is a dresser I just finished. I kept the original knobs because they are unique little wooden knobs I don't see every day. I got this dresser at a yard sale and immediatly fell in love, knowing exactly what color it would soon be.
Dove Grey (sigh) .
That is not really the color, that's just what I call it. The color is one I mixed up.
& I did find a before picture
