Ready for Christmas

I found these two Santas in a second hand shop and could not resist.  One has a chip but the greenery hides this flaw; I just love a deal $1.50 for both!




They are now watching over us from high on top of the wardrobe/television cabinet.

Cute shabby chic chalkboards


 
 
I just completed these cute little chalkboards.  The large is 24.5 x 17 inches for $20.00

The smaller chalkboard is 12 x 14 inches for $15. 

Cabinet pulls hold the chalk so you always know where it is! 

I have some chalkboards that can be hung vertically.




  I just love these warm white shabby chic
chalkboards!

Repurposed Cabinet


$300.
I just completed this china cabinet.  Once again we removed the side panels and made two doors to replace the single door opening.  I painted this cabinet a warm white and lightly sanded to distress.  I then waxed the cabinet.   The front doors are a glue chip.


 This cabinet is 38 inches wide measuring from the widest (cabinet top), it is 14 inches deep and 65 1/2 inches at the tallest section.
$300.
All the hardware is original to the cabinet.

Refinished Dresser

Although I do prefer to paint furniture, a friend asked me to refinish this little 3 drawer dresser.

As usual, I got into the project before taking any photos so I have no 'before' pictures to share.

The dresser was stained a VERY dark brown and the hardware was in really rough shape.  A lot of sanding, polishing and voila.

I am pleased with the results.  I hope the owner is too!





I have been busy all summer, but am getting back to work!
