With all of the traveling that I've been doing, I haven't had the opportunity to transform the (MANY) pieces that are patiently waiting in my garage for a makeover. I've spent most of my time
stealing buying furniture at thrift stores, yard sales, auctions, my parent's attic (this is not a store... it's really my parent's attic), antique stores, and basically anywhere that I can find a good bargain. For that reason, I decided to spend the rest of this week reaching into the D and D vault from long ago to show you some of my favorite "Before and After" projects. These happened before my blogging days, so I don't have pictures of the in-between steps.
These end tables were really beat up! They had scratches all over them, but were very solid and had lots of character. I cleaned them, sanded them, and painted them a soft white. (Who am I kidding?!? My sister did most of the work while I cheered her on!)
I distressed all of the wonderful accents on the tables, and sold them to someone that lives in Charlotte. It was hard to let them go, but I had to make room for the next set of end tables that entered my life.
Keep checking back to see more "Before and After" projects while I catch up on my more current finds!
Happy Junkin'!

These are the end tables that helped to start it all! And I remember your face when I brought these to you - you weren't a believer, as I recall! But you did all the work - seriously, I think this was the weekend I laid on the grass and complained about my back while Mr. Distressed danced/painted and made fun of me. Good times..... You really have to click on the photo to see these puppies bigger - the distressing really pops out that way. You are an artiste! (Is that how you spell it when you want it to sound French and fancy?)
ReplyDeleteI just did this exact same table in Annie Sloan's duck egg blue. I need to find another one. Yours look great!
