Cabinet Before & After

I picked this cabinet up off of Craigslist

a couple of weeks ago..

 

Dark.. drab.. blah..

 

So, out comes my

pretty pink and white paint

 

And, this is what I got!

 

Bright, shabby.. YUM!!

 

I painted the inside and the details

with white, and the rest of her

gorgeousness with pink.

 

Then, shabbied her all up!

 

I just love how the old finish is peeking through...

 

 

I can so picture her with pretty

rolled up guest towels and lovely soaps inside.

 

I really, really wish I had the room

in our guest bathroom..

 

I also painted this antique frame to match.

Again, pink on the outside,

and white on the details.

 

So pretty!!

New Mantel For Me & Booth Pix

I did some "fluffing" in my booth

at Traditions Antique Mall in Wildwood, FL;

and wanted to share some pictures with ya'll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took an old wooden gate

with white chippy paint on it,

and added 3 dozen roses..

 

I attached them upside down so

they will dry properly.

 

My booth smelled wonderful with

the scent of fresh roses for a couple of days!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dresser on the left sold over the weekend.. yay!

 

 

 

 

Traditions Antique Mall, where my booth

is located, is having an outside fair

with many vendors selling their "wares" outside.

 

I will be there, for most of the day,

making deals in my booth!

 

So, come on down and say "Hi"

I'd love to meet you!

I also wanted to share with you

my latest find for our house.

 

I can't wait to get started painting this one:

 

 

Be still my heart!

I am in LOVE!!

Armoire ~ Before n After

Ola! LOL 2 posts in one day!! Yay!

 

I wanted to share with ya'll

this armoire I picked up off Craigslist

a couple of weeks ago.

 

I got started on it right away, got 2 coats

of paint on it, only needed to get 1 more on

then shabby it up.. and guess what?

 

I got sick. Ugh.. and man o man did I ever get sick!

From the bathroom back to my bed, for an entire week..

 

So, my pretty armoire had to sit in the garage

all by herself.. unfinished.. boo hoo..

 

Anyway.. feeling back to my old self again

the last couple of days, so, after redecorating

my booth yesterday.. today was dedicated to

finishing the armoire..

 

Here she is!!

 

Before:

 

 

And.. After!!

 

 

 

 

 

I painted and shabbied right over the hardware.

I love this look!

 

 

 

Oh my goodness.. did my heart ever skip a beat

when the original key fell out of the drawer

onto the floor! Yay!!

 

I tied the key to some ribbon and it hangs from

the hat compartment door.

 

 

The inside was quite dirty and gross..

So, I cleaned it up and painted it pink!

 

 

 

Yep.. sh'es a keeper!

 

 

 

 

              Before                    and                       After!

Sewing Machine Table

I found this sewing machine table

while out thrifting a few weeks ago:

Old, crusty & rusty

with some sort of pressboard

wanna be "marble" top.

My white paint was just itchin

to make my heart sing once again..

And, of course, it didn't disappoint!

Mr. R screwed a wooden tray

I had painted white to the top.

I lined the tray with some really

pretty wallpaper I have at home.

I just love it in our dining room.

Sooo much prettier!

Pink Princess Chandelier

Oh my goodness, wait till you see

what I went and did now!

I bought this chandy off of Craigslist

last week.  FULL of crystals..

and yucky gold.

Originally I was just going to clean

it up a bit and bring it up to my booth..

But, once I started cleaning it,

I started to unravel the rust too..

and not the good kind.

I ran up to Walmart with the intention

of standing in front of the spray paint

shelves and hoping a color would jump

out at me... like turquoise, or something...

(That's what color I was hoping would

make my heart sing anyway..)

Nope, no turquoise.. instead..

Princess Pink!

Here's the before, once more..

And, here's the after!

Man oh man, did she clean up purdy!!

Over 75 crystals...

YUM!

I think it's perfect for

your bathroom, entryway

or

your little girls pink princess room!

From that...                  To this!

~ Sherri ~

PS.. This fabulous chandy is for sale.

It's currently just "hanging around"

in my booth.. LOL

Really great steal at only $155!!

Desk Before and After

I picked up this desk a few weeks ago

when I went to a nearby citywide yardsale.

I knew with it being so flat on most of the

surfaces, I wanted to do something a bit

unique and different.  Here she is ..

in all her pink ~n~ white glory!

I painted the entire desk a

light blush pink, then accented

the lines with white.

Then, I stenciled a scrolly pattern

on the drawers and the top of the desk.
