Introducing... Ms. Daytona!

Whew!  It's taken me a bit longer than I anticipated to complete the hutch I picked up in Daytona a couple of weeks ago; mostly due to the heat... (and getting sidetracked in a few thrift stores)

But, she's finally completed!


Here are the befores:





I would like to introduce you to:

Ms. Daytona!



Ain't she pretty?



She's a petite thing, standing only 69 inches..
(she's a saucy one!! LOL)




But wide around the middle at 54 inches..




I lined and mod podged her single drawer
with french script scrap book paper..



And the bottom interior..
Now she has her own hidden, unique style.




I distressed her edges
so she'd stand out in a crowd a bit more..



And, waxed her all over so she'd
shine just a bit,
like the superstar she is!!

 ~


Now that Ms. Daytona
has made her debut,
I'd love to hear what you think!!


From that.... to this!

  16. You should be proud of yourself because that is wonderful. I love love love the idea of mogpodging the drawers with script lining. I have bought some not so perfect drawers before and that would work wonderfully. I also see that you are a FL gal. I am in Tampa. So it is nice to meet you.
    Hugs
