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.

April {2014}

Some how this cute dresser never made it up on my site. I sold it a while ago. When I first found this dresser it was painted in all black! I had my work cute out for me, but it turned out to be this great cute Paris dresser! 

I lined the inside of the dressers.

I also added Paris knobs and a Paris ink word print on top. It turned out great!

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.
