Glass Door Cabinet {Oct. 22, 2012}

I found this cute little cabinet off of craigslist for a decent price. My sweet hubby picked it up for me on his way home from work. He's the best!

This project was a little harder than I thought it was going to be. I had to remove all sides and doors to get it painted correctly. It was more labor intensive. 

I painted it with chalk paint, distressed it and waxed it with a dark wax. I think it turned out darling and is great for plenty of different rooms!

Dining Table

Before picture of my dining table.

I started out by sanding the whole table down....just enough to roughen it up so that the paint will adhere to the table.

I chose to paint it Summer Grey

{it looks white, but has a hint of grey tone underneath}

 Once the paint was dry I then distressed the table to give it the antique look I wanted.

I mixed 3:1 parts of finishing glaze & Minwax walnut stain in a cup. With a paint brush I brushed on the mixture all over the table and legs. I immediately wiped the mixture off with a dry cloth just like you would if you were staining a piece of furniture. This gave my table a worn antique look that I was wanting.
