Very Unique End Table

This was actually an item my dear husband found on Craigslist and knew I would love! I quickly emailed the owner and asked how much they wanted for it. The response was exciting! They said they would be happy to get $20 for it just to get if off their hands! I quickly said SOLD! It was mine! I met up with the owner eager to make the purchase final for fear they'd discover the potential of this beaut and change their minds. However, it was a young man getting rid of it so it all made for sense! Well, I showed up in my small little Mazda and we huffed and puffed and squeezed that not so little piece of furniture in the front seat of my car. Quite an experience but enough about that! I got this baby home and couldn't wait to get to work. I love the original hardware that came with it and notice all the designs in the wood. Amazing! ... enjoy!

Old Screen Door

I was up in Delta with my in-laws when my mother in law found this old screen door for me! I was so excited and couldn't wait to get started. Everyone else thought I was crazy but do you think I cared?! NOOOO! I was so excited. A few MONTHS later, after shoving it in the budget truck to pack it across the country from Utah to Florida, I was finally able to get it finished. The "before" door didn't have a ton of cuteness so I did have to modernize-antique it, unlike my last naturally gorgeous door here!  This screen door was really dirty and rough so I power washed it (or Doud did for me), smoothed it by sanding it to death and then....- I painted, sanded it to bring out some of the white paint that was underneath, antiqued, stained, glossed and finished! Viola!

3 Drawer Dresser

  When I first got married I inherited this from my sister who no longer wanted it. I could use the extra storage so I took it gladly. It however was not the prettiest thing to look at and I finally got around to playing with it.
