Much Better!

I'm back with my cabinet from yesterday.  Today I decided to distress a lot more, go over the piece with dark wax and repaint the hardware black.  I am much happier with it now.  I'm  usually happier with a more distressed piece.

Farmhouse china cabinet makeover

**SOLD**

This was your typical brown wood looking china cabinet.  I removed all of the glass and replaced it with chicken wire that I painted black.  I painted the outside with a mix of ASCP in paris gray and old white and graphite and paris gray on the inside, waxed, and distressed. I kept the all of the old hardware and painted it black except the pull on the drawer.  I like it much better now!

Adirondack Chair

My handy husband built this out of our old deck wood!  I have wanted  adirondack chairs for a long time, but didn't want to pay so much for them.  My handy man found some plans online and started building.  One down 3 more to go.  :)

Second time's a charm?

**SOLD**

A few days ago I posted a french nightstand / end table I had refurbished.  I had second thoughts and re-painted with a mix of ascp paris gray and graphite and old white on the hardware.  I think it looks much better now.

Farmhouse dresser / buffet

I found this dresser on CL last year.  It wasn't pretty, but it was the size I was looking for.  It had water damage on the top and down the back from an aquarium.  I sanded the entire dresser and replaced the back.  I primed, painted, and replaced the hardware.  I am now using it in my kitchen.
