Hello all of you out there in blogland......
I'm back!
I know, I've disappeared for awhile......
Today was a beautiful day, and since I had to take my Bernina sewing machine into the shop yesterday, I couldn't tackle all the sewing projects I have on the books.
So, I decided to do a little sidewalk work this afternoon.
I had my sights on this yukky cabinet that my friend, Robin, found in the trash. You can see why someone tossed it...
She wanted it out of her car so I gladly took it...
Pretty disgusting really.......
I took a putty knife to it and got off most of the loose paint.
That's TEXTURE, baby!!!!! It's going to look great after I'm finished.
And this is what it looks like now!
What a great little cabinet for a kitchen island, or a bar.
I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paints in Duck Egg Blue and Provence, dry brushing most of the edges.
Then I distress sanded, and waxed with clear MinWax, and Annie Sloan Dark Wax.
Added some miscellaneous hardware from my stash...
I love these pewter nail heads I purchased from Ufab.
They're great for disguising holes when you have to reposition hardware, etc, and don't want to deal with wood filler and sanding and dry time.....
I'm on a schedule here folks! Who has time for dry time?
See how the waxes accentuate all the crackled paint that's leftover?
No, Robin, you cannot have it back!
the jokes on me that was fast!!!
