for the love of wood

I really love when i find a nice old piece that is in amazing shape. This piece was still in great shape and had such pretty details to her.I knew i wanted to leave the top alone but i added a little ascp in old white to the legs.

this is how i got her....i loved the wood!!

Yes I paint inside a lot. I live in Az and it is still in the hundreds here.

this pic is before the sanding and detailing. I did not go crazy but i sanded the edges and i like to use a scrapers on the details.

I always wonder why I can never fully complete a project. I always have at least two projects going on at one time. If I am doing a simple update to a vintage piece then the other project has to be wild and fun, its like have split personality disorder.

For example, when I was working on the 80's dresser with mod podge drawers and heavy glazing, I was also working on this 1950's coffee table.

I love both pieces but they are so very different...stay tuned on Monday I will break down the coffee table...


I will leave u with some full shots of the dresser. Sorry she posed outside with sad overheated dessert plants as background...its back to 108 here in A z.....yuck!

before....she was a mess!!


but after a little love..
