A nice little accent table I picked up.  I decided on a Summer Squash yellow for this one.  With a tad bit of distressing as well.  Turned out really well.  And it is ready to sell.





My new buy yesterday from the Pink Flamingo.  I love this thing.  I am now thinking of a nice color for it.  Although I do like it the way that it is.  A few knicks and scuff marks but beautiful none the less.  My options are to just touch up the spots where the knicks and scuffs are or re-do the entire piece.  Replacing knobs and hinges as well.  Still thinking on this one.

One of my estate sale finds.  A harness.  None of the original leather was on it, but it was still pretty nice.  A friend suggested a nice coat of red paint and I agree.  Looks good to me.  Ready to go for sale.


The plate rack is finished minus one Knob, I will  pick that up tomorrow.  I like the knobs on it and it makes it multifunctional for cups or towels or whatever.  So to the lil booth this weekend for sale.  Amazing what a woman can do when she puts her mind to it.  Wish me luck, I want it to sell quick!

I got this plate rack from my mother, a swap out for a piece of furniture I was selling.  And please don't mind the ugliness of the pictures.  My camera is terrible.  I did a black onyx minwax and touched it up with a little distressing.  I will go with small pewter knobs or hooks at the very bottom.  It did originally have hooks but they were all broken.  After that my project is complete.  And on to the next!

I got this Old cabinet that holds the 78 records, if you had a Victrola in those days you may have had one of these cabinets.  The shelves were broken and the back was split.  I had some thin finished plywood and I cut it to size to make 2 shelves and a new back.  Next step is to paint it.  I think this is a keeper.  This cabinet originally had 4 shelves, but for storage needs I am only using two.  I love the door.  And I am keeping the original little key slot for it as well as the emblem on the front.

Another estate sale find today from Blue Moon Estate sales.  As you well know mom and dad wound up with my other display shelf.  So for $10 I got this one.  A little bit of TLC from me and it looks great!  I used the Minwax black onyx on this also.  No sanding or anything.  Just wipe it on and let it dry for about an hour.
