I'm really getting excited about getting back into painting furniture. I made my usual trip to my favorite local shops and came across two tall boys right next each other. The price was right, so I snagged both of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the first one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than missing a few pieces of hardware, it was in excellent condition. Which meant no prep work! Just a light sanding to make sure that my paint sticks:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Restful by Sherwin Williams. I have been obsessing over this color and thought that this dresser was perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I have said before, I sell most of my furniture on local Facebook groups. I asked everyone if they prefer the look of dark wax or clear wax better. About 95% of the people that answered, prefer clear wax. I was kind of shocked. To me, it looks much more authentic if it has that "dirty" look to it, but we are in the business of selling, so I just used Annie Sloan's clear wax.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some new hardware that I bought at Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't capture the true color of it. It ended up looking more blue in the pictures, but its actually green.</div>

Hello??? It has been a long time since I have blogged about my furniture. I have been one busy Mama! Things have finally slowed down and I am finally getting back into painting! Wahoo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once a year, the really nice areas of my city hold a huge neighborhood yard sale... Yes, I wait all year for it!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were going from house to house, when I spotted this beauty! It was a whole set that came with a bed, dresser, and vanity! The price was great, so I snagged it!</div>

I painted the body in Sherwin William's Alabaster. It's one of my new favorite whites! Then I painted the drawers in Urban Sunrise.</div>

I saw this desk at my local Salvation Army. It didn't have a price, so I went and talked to the manager. She gave me a pretty good deal, so off to my garage it went. I actually had no intentions of painting it. It sat in my garage for six months without selling, so I decided to give it a makeover.</div>

After</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my birthday, my friends bought me some milk paint from Miss Mustard Seed. I had been too chicken to use it, but decided to put on my big girl panties and try it. I know that they say that you have to just go with the flow with milk paint, but it was such a disaster. On one side of my desk, the paint just fell off of it. I have no idea why! I sanded before, but for some reason it just wouldn't stick. I ended up sanding the whole thing and starting over. I got out my trusty Sherwin Williams paint in my favorite color, Green Bay. It is so pretty!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something strange happened! My paint chipped. It must have been some residue leftover from the milk paint, but I LOVED the result!</div>

Here is a tip from me. Don't drag your beautiful antique dresser on your driveway. It will result in breaking a beautiful claw foot leg, and then you will have to spend a couple of extra hours fixing what was once a perfect leg! Not saying I did that or anything...</div>

I have slacking lately on keeping up with my blog. As fun as it is to get comments and see my furniture all over Pinterest, I keep this blog mostly for myself. It is intended to be a my photo album of my projects. I have tons of redos that I have failed to blog about. I better get crackin'!</div>

I'm a lucky girl! I have a whole strip mall of thrift stores about 2 minutes from my house. Now that my kids are both in school, I have 3 days a week that I can stop by to see what they have. I saw both of these hutches right next to each other. I knew immediately, by the shutter doors, they were Ethan Allen. They were both 50% off, so off to my garage they went!</div>

I am guessing that these came from the same owner. I think that they may have used them together to make a large hutch. I hemmed and hawed over whether to paint them the same and sell as a set or to sell them separately. I finally decided to do them differently.</div>

Hello all! I have been the worst blogger ever! I have been a busy little bee lately. Blogging kinda took the back burner. I have many wonderful makeovers to show you:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this beauty on CL. The owner was moving out of the country, so I snatched it up!</div>

<br />I don't normally use red, but I wanted to branch out! I headed to HD to pick a red. I ended up going with Barn by Martha Stewart. It is such a warm rich red!</div>

When I first started painting furniture, My budget for furniture was pretty small. I would mostly stick to end tables and other small pieces. Now that my business has grown, I only buy furniture that is good quality. I don't mind spending money to make sure that I am putting the best product out there that I can. I have found some amazing pieces lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this piece on one of my FB groups. I loved it right away. I was so lucky to snag it up. A lot of people wanted it! It pays to check often!</div>

I painted the body in Annie Sloan's Old White. Let me just say that I struggle every time I paint with white. I end up having to paint at least 4 coats. With Annie though, only 2 coats. Great coverage. It's the only white I will ever use again.</div>

Hi everyone! I hope you all have had a great summer. School started this week for my kiddos. My sweet boy is now if first grade and my baby starts preschool today. I can't believe how fast they grow. This will be the first time in 5 years that I will be home by myself for a few hours a day! You know your a mom when your excited to go grocery shopping by yourself!<br /><br />I found this dresser at one of my usual spots. I didn't realize how big it was when I bought it. When I came to pick it up, we ended up having to tie it down cause it wouldn't fit in my SUV.</div>

I was so excited when I saw this piece. I thought for sure that it was going to be a lot more than what she wanted. It has the original wooden casters. I so wish that I needed a double bed!</div>

Hi Everyone! I have been a little quiet lately, but I promise that I have been hard at work! I am getting ready for my first show. I have been painting everything in sight. I have found some really great pieces.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this great dresser on one of my FB pages. I could see that it had major potential, so I had my hubby pick it up for me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After staring at it for a couple of days, I decided that I wanted it to be really shabby. I first layered it with white, then tan, and then I did a dry brush with black. I really had no idea what the final outcome would look like, but I just put on some music and let my hands take over.</div>

I have been getting ready for my show coming up. I have been out at yard sales and thrift stores. This Saturday was a total bust for yard sales. I drove around for an hour and only found a few. The ones I did find had absolutely nothing for me... But they say when one door closes, another one opens!!! I litterally live 2 minutes away from a thrift store strip mall. It is defintly one of my happy places. I think that there are roughly 10 stores there. I just go from one to the next:) I really scored there!<br />

This is an antique coffee grinder. I just fell in love with it. The body is made of cast iron and the top is a very heavy glass jar. I might just end up keeping this for myself. </div>

From experience, I knew to look around the whole store to see if there was another one. I ended up finding it's match clear across the store under a bunch of other stuff. Score! I love when that happens.<br />

I don't know about you, but I could not stand the ugly yellow finish on these. I didn't want it showing through, so distressing these was not a option. I gave them a coat of primer and then two coats of a blue/grey paint that I had in my stash. They still needed a little bling, so I mixed up a silver glaze. </div>

I finally got some painting done! I took a couple of weeks off for family time and a much needed vacation. We went to Portland to visit my family. It was so nice spending a week with them. I did come home with my painting hand a little itchy. I needed my fix, so I got to work on this little set of end tables. I have been lucky lately finding sets of tables. I have 2 more sets waiting to be painted!<br />

I can't seem to find a before picture of this one, but you probably have seen this style many times before. It was the usual cream and gold color. This one stayed in my garage a while. It was stuck behind some other projects I had going on. I finally got it out and went to work!<br />

I mixed up the color myself. I just played with a bunch of leftovers until I was satisfied. I LOVE this color! I loved it so much that I actually went and had a gallon made of it.<br />

<br />
On a side note, I finally signed up for a show! It's not until September, but I am super excited. The only other show that I have done, was just a craft show. This one will mostly be my furniture and decor! <br />

I found it at one of the thrift shop that I frequent. It had some damage to the top, so the price was good. I didn't exactly know what I wanted to do with it, so it sat while others got their makeovers. Finally, while I was going through some stuff, I found a bunch of my vintage music sheets. I knew exactly what I wanted to do:)<br />

I was in line at one of my favorite thrift shops the other day, when I noticed this awesome cabinet by the checkout. I knew exactly what it was, I was just hoping the price tag was reasonable! Even before the 50% off, it was a deal. SCORE!!!!!<br />

I hope that you all had a fabulous weekend! Mine was spent going to Disneyland and having a 6th birthday party for little guy! Busy, but fun!<br />
<br />
I found this bookcase/dresser on FB. I must have been on right at the right time, because there was a lot people that wanted it. I was so excited that I scored it! Someone had spray painted it and didn't do such a good job, so there was a ton of sanding to be done. I wasn't able to get all of the drip marks off on the spindles, but I just worked with it anyway.<br />

I mixed up some homemade chalk paint with a grey that I had. I have a ridiculous amount of paint that needs to be used. We just went through our garage, and I have about 3 full cabinets full. I am going to try to use it before I buy anymore. We will see how that goes:)</div>

I have been so bad about keeping up with my blog. I seem to forget to take photos before my furniture leaves for it's new home. I am going to try to stay on top of it. Not only for you, but for me too. Every girl needs a diary, right?<br />
<br />
I don't have a before picture. Long story short is that my phone had some issues and most of my pictures are gone, so for the next couple of posts there will be no before photos:(<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the longer version of what it looked like.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o17kET8kOkw/U491H90JMGI/AAAAAAAABe0/0OugWrODFxE/s1600/black+dresser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o17kET8kOkw/U491H90JMGI/AAAAAAAABe0/0OugWrODFxE/s1600/black+dresser.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I knew immediately that what I was going to do with this. It screamed "beach" to me, so I mixed up a batch of homemade chalk paint with an oops grey that I had. Then I went to Home Depot and picked out a 4 blue samples.</div>

Staying with the beach theme, I used some rope to replace the hardware.</div>

I have recently used "real" chalk paint. I know most of you have used both DIY and store bought. What are some of your opinions on the difference? I cannot express how much I loved using the "real" stuff. It went on so smooth and then when I sanded, it felt like butta!!! I think that this may have opened a can of worms for me. I will probably blow my whole budget on getting my hands on every color!!</div>

She needed them to be a certain height, so when I spotted some that were perfect, I snagged them. The only catch was that they belonged to a set, so I had to buy everything. No problem though. I knew exactly what to do with them.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was so easy to use. I just cut it to size, wet the paper, and put it on. I left a little overhang just in case, and then sanded it off when it dried.</div>

First of all, I have to apologize for not taking the before picture of this desk. It was jammed in my garage, and I was taking one drawer at a time until my hubby got home to help me move it. Patients is not one of my qualities!<br />
<br />
I found this desk at one of my favorite shops. Most of their furniture is in great shape. I usually just wait for a furniture sale and then swoop in!<br />

I was at Michael's and I saw this sweet pink and white damask wrapping paper. I knew right away that it was perfect for my desk. I used Modge Podge to adhere the paper to the drawers. I let them sit over night and then lightly sanded them down. I wanted it to look older, so I used a black glaze on top. <br />

Lately, I have been getting up a the butt crack of dawn to meet some girlfriends for some good ol' yard sailing fun!<br />
<br />
I came across this little table for a super great price! It was in great shape, it just needed a little love, so in the car it went!<br />

Did you know that Facebook has groups where you can sell and buy furniture? I had no idea until my friend told me about it. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it! I have been selling a lot of small stuff on there. And some big stuff too! I don't have a booth anymore, so having other options to besides CL is so nice! You should check out what groups are in your city!</div>

I love when I find a matching pair of tables. I seem to always snatch them up when I see them:)<br />
<br />
I don't think that I have ever come across pedestal tables before. They were ugly, dusty, and in need of a little TLC.<br />
