A few finished projects
Good Morning, from chilly & brisk New York. I finished a few projects recently and promised to post pictures of them. I am really enjoying refinishing some old, shabby chic pieces. I also find it very therapeutic. The process of sanding and re-finishing. It takes some patience and time, but the end results are always worth it. I picked up a solid wood rocking chair at a flea market and a side table ($5 bucks at a flea market) it was in abit of “distress”, some damage to the top, but fixable. I somehow convinced the hubby to get out the electric sander and give it a whirl. I must say, he seemed to want to take over and he enjoyed sanding and smoothing that piece. It also was a solid wood piece, with great bones, sturdy, vintage but the top had some wear for sure. He was determined to get it down to the original finish. I think he did a pretty good job with it. I chose pale pink for the side table and white gloss for my future Granddaughters rocking chair. I am pretty happy with both pieces and they will fit nicely in our little nursery we are making for her. It’s hard to believe in about 3 months, our first Grandchild will be born. I feel amazingly blessed and excited to meet her. I picked up another piece to finish for the nursery. This is a small cabinet with 2 glass doors. I think it will be abit more involved, due to the glass doors, but, I am up for the challenge and have a good vision for this piece. More on that down the line. I hope you like the finished pieces as much as I do, these projects keep me occupied for sure. Enjoy your Sunday! Luv, ~leelee
