A Work in Progress

Well, I think it's time to get myself better at this blog thing.  Now that my youngest is going to be in school full time (YAY!!)  I should have more time to make updates.  Let's hope I can organize my time as well as I organize physical things! Something for me to work on, for sure!

As many people know, I have a little booth at a wonderful shop called Olde Towne Hall Antiques, in Stratham, NH.  There I get to display some of the things I "remake." I love to find things and give them new life.  Like furniture.  The French Provincial style dresser below was nice, but had yellowed with time.  A customer loved the style of the dresser but it wasn't quite what she wanted.

 

Look at the transformation once it got a nice new coat of paint....

 



 

Another customer had a fancy for a dresser done in white and gold.  This was a piece I had on hand.

 

It was a nice style, but definitely a bit beaten.  

It too was yellowed with time.   Now it's a beautiful crisp white with a gold trim. 

The handles were painted over in white also and given a gold gilding.   Mmmm, so pretty!

 

I hope this has given you some great ideas for your home.  Those old pieces of furniture don't need to be scrapped, they just need some new life!
