Night Stand Turned to Wine Stand!

I found this lovely night stand a few houses down from mine in a pile of furniture. It was painted with black but when you touched the night stand you would get black all over your hands!

 I stripped most of the paint off and then sanded it down a little too.

I wanted it to have a distressed look. I painted the edges black where I was going to distress it.

I then painted it turquoise and grey on the inside. Once it dried I started distressing with a fine sand paper.

Here is the finally product! It is the perfect little wine stand!

Turquoise Mirror

My dad found this mirror in a give away pile a few houses down from mine. I broke off those wooden cactuses and the longhorn. 

I sanded down the mirror and then stained it with a dark walnut. It did not come out the way I had imagined. It came out black!!!!

Then I had a genius idea to paint it turquoise and do a little distressing!

Here is the final product!!! I am in love with this mirror and it adds a splash of color to my living room!

The Coral Desk

I was given this desk for free. I needed a new desk and it was time to get rid of the ikea desk!! As you can see it was a lovely brown color. I needed to give it a touch of Nadia!! I wanted a coral desk in my study/craft room. I figured it would add some color...I love color!!!

I sanded the top down and stained it with a dark walnut. (granger had to get in one picture)

 I then painted black over the brown. I wanted a chipped/distressed look for this desk.

 I filled the holes from the old hard ware and then proceded to paint on the lovely coral!

Here is the final product!! It looks great in my room! Now I need to rearrange the room.

Green Dresser Finished!

This is the green dresser I found for $25 at a garage sale. It is solid wood and has three different layers to it...green, white, and a stain. 

I stripped it and then sanded it down. This process took some time due to the three different layers.

I did one stain of Bombay mahogany. Then did a clear semi-gloss seal on it.

Here is the final product! I got the hardware from Hobby Lobby and painted the turquoise with a dry paint brush.
