Before & After Recent little projects {Dresser, Bed, & Chair}

Little Projects--- cuz' well I don't have space right now for the big projects and I know craigslist has been missing me-- it calls to me everynight and I ignore it and go cry into my pillow-- oh Colorado's Craigslist how I miss you so-- :)

Anyways so I am almost positive I took some more pictures of these projects but ya I may not have who knows I'm pretty sure I've lost all my brain now with my third-- there is no retention abilities left

So the only before picture I have of my little newborn bed prop
It was well okay-- a bit to much gold going on for me and I really wanted a more vintage looking bed so.......
The after-- and I love it-- If only it was a little bit bigger I'd go cuddle up with a good book on it :)

and the chair-- I found at D.I. in Utah for $2 and I have absolutely no before pics--- just use your imagination and picture GOLD-- lots of gold--- 
I tried to get Brynley to be my model on it but alas she was sick of pictures--ya it happens sometimes.

And my last before and after is my favorite Dresser in the whole wide world-- I named her Delila :) She's been done for along time now but for some reason I never took her picture-- she's my Craft dresser and holds all my ribbon and hairbow making stuff, and craft paint and ya lots of yummy fun stuff. 

Before:  Once again a already into the project picture-- I get a  little anxious to start-- anyhow she was oil based white paint all over-- and it was blotchy and dirty and yellowing so I stripped her {oh my} 

The After:
I love her sides-
and the knobs-- :) I've loved glass knobs for a while and found these at hobby lobby and from than on she became my delila-- my oh so petite girly dresser :) come on I can't be the only one who names her furniture right?

  2. Just found your blog. It's great when I see so much furniture being recycled into new creative pieces. Great stuff, Lisa

  5. I love your blog! Im curious though, do you give any details as to the process of refurnishing these pieces of furniture? I am embarking on a whole new house reno and would love some of your techniques and the names of products you use for the white and dark stained pieces.

  6. I love you blog! However, I am wondering if you post details about how you refurnish the pieces? I really love the white stain and the darker stains you have used on several pieces. I would love to know how you did it and what products you used. Thanks!
