Busy week in our house

What a fantastic week here in Ontario :) We've had wonderful weather which included a hum dinger of a thunderstorm, which we badly needed.

And with weather like this, I've managed to finish some projects, one for our own home (for now).

Lets get right to it shall we?

I finally finished up a wash stand I started almost a month ago. The initial sanding down and painting was done, but I needed just the right hardware.

This is my "before" picture. It isn't really, but it's without hardware and the bar is missing. I took this at the cottage where I picked it up and worked on it.

 How it has sweet "old" hardware

 The bar is on :)

 I obviously distressed it. This came out soooooo smooth. Like butter. I love that.

And of course...sweetly curved legs with original casters.

I had also picked up a sweet dresser. (yes, still doing tons of dressers )

The body was bla...but I LOVED and still love the top curves.

 See what I mean? Very plain...but on casters (I'm a huge fan of casters)

Check out that top...isn't it just so pretty?

It didn't take long to pretty up..but finding the right hardware was a pain, nothing seemed to suit it.

But I prevailed and finally found something I thought was just right. Maybe not perfect...but right. :)

 I started with stripping it down, then added a layer of white chalk paint as a base. I wanted that to show through along with the wood.

 The top was stripped and stained. (sanded it of course)

 Those key hole covers are original and the locks work. I love that...love working locks :)

 Ahhhh those curves get me every time.

She came out just perfect!

Leave a comment. I love getting feedback :)
