**I refinished this in a bright white**

................

 She's Got ~CURVES~

THE PROCESS:

I refinished this in a bright white. It hasn't been glazed. It has a gloss top coat. All of the hardware was changed to a bright chrome color. It is in great condition. Fully refinished with a shabby chic effect. Would be darling in a little girl's room. I would put this into my room too.

BEFORE:

Not SO GREAT, Right?

Well, after some putty, sanding, putty, sanding, and finally primer,  

I coated it with a bright white paint.  Then I distressed, and glazed with the lightest shade I can mix.  {I wanted it to have a Bright/Clean/Fresh finish} & it does. 

BEFORE putting the knobs on, I sprayed it with a High-gloss poly finish. 

***

I have to say, it turned out perfect!

~{A} quick pic of it before I sanded the edges to add a "DiStReSSed" Look~

NOW, for the funnest part.  Distressing.  

I love how it brings out all the unique corners and edges!

Without this step in refinishing furniture, furniture losses it's character!  -BORING-  

I hate boring things-don't you?

AFTER:

SHABBY CHIC DRESSER

So stinking cute!!!

** I love the mis-matched drawer pulls. **

They add so much to the piece. They are unexpected and really unique. 

The dresser has a lot of storage with 5 drawers. 

The dimensions of the piece are:

2"10" W X 18" D X 3'10" T

I can see it in a bedroom with a chandelier and with ruffles on the bedding. I love the pop of purple inside the drawers. They'll make you smile every time you pull the drawers open. 

The dresser is really sturdy and made by Broyhill. 

***This would be so cute in a little girl's room or young woman's space***

The knobs are my favorite. 

The piece also has a ton of edges for fun dimension in a room.

The piece is going to last through the years because the colors are neutral. 

You can mix the Black and white with everything. 

I'm OFF to work on Bedrooms, and Chores.  

Happy DAYS!!!

NOW....Go see what else I'm up to. 

CaMEroN's "New" {F}urNiTUre

**We're keeping this ONE**

I found these two pieces 2 years ago and finally got around to painting them.  

They are going into My Oldest Son's "NEW" room.  With these two pieces finished~~I'm one step closer to finishing the room makeover.  YAY!   

.

.

.

Here are the BEFORE PICS:

I am loving the warm weather in UTAH!  So, is my husband 

(cuz i'm painting stuff, which means more crap out of the garage)

Truthfully, I was starting to go c-r-a-z-y inside.  

Plus, when it's warm, I get way more painted outside than in my paint booth.  

HaPpy DaY all the way around FoR EvERyoNe!  

.

.

AFTER a little putty and removing the hardware.....Then some sanding:   

NOW, for PAINT...

The color scheme for his room: dark teal/blue color and greys.  A hint of black.  

The rest of the room makeover is a secret  SO....."Follow Me" for the REVEAL!!!

 After the first few coats, I found areas of the cabinet that were buggin me.  

So, I had to add some more putty here-n-there, and even sanded a little more.

and then.......

STOP~~~I NEED CAULK!

I also had some larger than normal gaps showing in the doors.  

So, I added caulk in those spots.  

Here's the caulk I used:

Caulk is quite universal, so really U can use whatever U have.  

Just make sure that it is paintable.  

 NOTICE: One side is caulked and the other isn't.  This will polish off the restoration of the piece after I REPAINT it.

NOW for some distressing.  I used an orbital sander and sheets of sandpaper (120 grit--sometimes I use higher if the paint is thinner~~it always depends on the project and the desired effect).  I just rubbed on the high parts of the piece.  After I glaze the furniture, this effect will be AMAZING!

 I like to go down to the original finish on some of the edges.  On others, I go down below to raw wood.  I {heart} the dimension this adds to the piece.  WARNING: don't go soooo deep that the leveling gets all messed up.  Also, you can take a flat edge and chip here-n-there.

 Did you notice the hinges have paint on them?  I rubbed vasoline onto the hinges before painting.  Thus, after I am done glazing the furniture, I will wipe of the hinges and they will have just a bit of paint in their cracks.  I WANT THEM TO LOOK THIS WAY!!!  It is part of my distressed "LoOk".  If you ever paint a hinge on accident and you want an easy way to get the paint off, remove them from the furniture, put them into an old pan with water over them, boil for 20-30 minutes, and the paint floats/rubs off.  Good to know, right?

**

**

**SOMETIMES i DO AND SOMETIMES i DON'T**

**USE THE HARDWARE**

*

i JUST SPRAY THEM WITH THIS PAINT, 

SOMETIMES ALL THEY NEED IS A FRESH COAT.

Then, I lightly distress a few edges with a sanding block.

**

AFTER:

I glazed with black, added a clear poly coat and then the hardware.  What do U think?  {L}oving it?

~~~It's GROOVY~~~

I {heart} how the black glaze filled all of the groves in the pieces.  

NOTE: these will be in a {NEW} bedroom reveal coming soon.  SUBSCRIBE to my blog, so U won't miss out. 

Go create something, I am.
