Coffee Table {Sept. 2014}

I found this coffee table at a garage sale for a really good price! It was very sturdy too!

I painted it in Annie Sloan's French Linen. I LOVE this color! 

I very lightly distressed it and finished it in a clear wax. I even painted the hardware on this one. I love how it came out!

End Table/Night Stand {Sept. 2014}

I found this at a thrift store. I thought it could be used as an end table or night stand.

I painted it in a mix of Annie Sloan's gray paints!

I distressed it lightly and finished it with a dark and clear wax.

Night Stand {Sept. 2014}

I found this night stand at a thrift store and thought it was super cute!

I painted it in Annie Sloan's Pure White and finished it off with dark wax to give it an antique feel!

Night Stand {Sept. 2014}

I purchased this cute night stand at a garage sale. It was already black which I loved because I knew when I went to distress it the black would come through!

I painted it in Annie Sloan's Pure white. 

Finished it with clear wax and added a cute woven basket!

Coffee Table {Sept. 2014}

This table was a small table that could have been used for a coffee table or even as an end table. The lady that purchased it did end up using it as a coffee table in her home.

I painted it in Annie Sloan's Paris Gray. 

I distressed it a little and finished it with clear and dark wax.

End Table {Sept. 2014}

I mentioned in another post that a lady in my area was moving and getting rid of some of her stuff. This was one of the other pieces she had given me. 

I decided to paint it in Annie Sloan's Duck Egg Blue. I didn't distress this piece since it has a more modern look to it.

I finished it up with clear wax. So much better with a little paint!

Hutch {Sept. 2014}

I don't know what happened to my before picture of this hutch, but it was a cherry wood color. I was given it to by a friend in my area to redo.

Not so many people these days use Armorer's for TV's anymore. So, I needed to be a little more creative with this piece. I decided to turn it into a craft hutch! I painted the outside a mix of Annie Sloan gray colors that I had. The inside on one of the doors I painted in a chalkboard paint.

On the inside of the other door I put up peg board to hang craft supplies such as scissors.

In the center and hung a wood rod for wrapping paper or ribbons. I finished with distressing it lightly and applying clear wax.

Coffee Table {Sept. 2014}

I found this cute more modern coffee table and a thrift store! I have a store not too far from me that sells some pretty cute stuff! I like to go hunting there a lot! 

I decided to give this coffee table more character and painted it in Annie Sloan's Duck Egg! No distressing on this piece...I wanted to keep it more modern.

I finished it with clear wax! I recently sold this little number! I LOVE what paint can do!

End Table {Sept. 2014}

I lady that I knew in my area was getting ready to move. She knows I redo furniture and making it more modern and up to date. She called me up and asked if I wanted some of her pieces she was going to just give away! I of course accepted and grabbed them from her right away!

I painted this end table in Annie Sloan's Pure White. I then distressed it and sanded it down to get it to that smooth texture I wanted. 

I finished it with clear and dark wax. I only applied the dark wax on the top to give this end table a two-toned look to it. The rest of it I waxed in clear wax. In the end the little paint that I had to do made this cute table come back to life and have a purpose again! No garbage here!

June {2014}

This was absolutely one of my favorite pieces I have done. I wanted to keep this one and in some way I wish I had! I LOVED the thickness of it and how chunky the legs were.

I found this gem just at the thrift shop. When I saw it I thought how could anybody ever let this go! I saw so much potential!

I painted it with Annie Sloan's Old White Chalk paint. Sanded and distressed it. Finished with a clear wax.

I changed the hardware to a pull and thought it looked perfect!!!!

I wanted this in my house for keeps as a buffet in my dining room!

Desk {May 2014}

I found this gem at a thrift store! It was a solid desk and I loved how chunky it was. I had to have it! I painted it Annie Sloan's Chalk paint in Paris Gray! I left the original hardware since I thought it went well. My husband really liked the hardware too.

March {2014}

I found this beauty at a thrift store in Roseville. I instantly loved it. I loved how the top would show the wood panels. 

I painted it with Annie Sloan's Old White.

I distressed it and waxed it. I also added baskets on the bottom so you can have storage. I love how it all turned out.

March {2014}

I found this really cute unique end table and a thrift store in Sacramento. I thought it had cute character and I could make it more updated and bring it back to life!

I first sanded it which was not necessary since I used Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint and you don't have to prep your pieces AT ALL...that's right, NO sanding! One of the many reasons I like her paint!

The color I used is called Duck Egg Blue. I love this color! 

I lightly distressed it and finished it with a wax. I like wax more then a poly. Wax gives more of a matte finish.

I also added a woven basket. I felt it made a perfect home there! 

End Table {March 2014}

I found this solid piece at a store! When I saw the adorable doors I knew what I wanted to do immediately! I started on this right away. 

Sanded lightly and I got to work fast! 

I painted it a color called Dolphin Fin Gray. I then distressed it and waxed it with dark and clear wax. I kept the original hardware because it worked well with the doors. 

Media Cabinet {Jan. 2014}

Found this really cute media cabinet recently! When I saw it I could just imagine what I wanted done with it and was excited to get to work! Both doors had the glass missing and one of the doors was nonfunctional. It would not close properly, but that was not going to stop me from turning it into a beauty!  

I painted it with Annie Sloan's Country Gray! I LOVE that stuff! Sanding and everything is soooooo much easier! The first thing that had to happen was the doors...those things had to go! Once I was done painting I lightly distressed the front areas.

For my finish I used dark and clear wax. I added baskets to the shelves and I love it! Just how I had imagined it!

I am having a hard time letting this one go!!!
