Older Before & After's

Going through my archives.  They date back to late 2012, I just got started on this path, but here are some pics of my things.  Just getting around to the blogging part.  I'll try not to ramble on too much.

This entertainment center was my first big redo.  I got the whole thing for $49.99 at The Salvation Army.  It is now happy in "The Man Cave" AKA "The Girl Cave"

Annie Sloan Graphite

My friend Tracey (see other blog posts) picked this one up on the side of the road.  I added tile to the top and it is something I will definitely do again.  A nice touch and something different.

A random desk chair I redid to match a desk.

I had to practice my new found hobby on something.  Tray tables, two ways.

 

Tracey's Before & After's

My friend Tracey commissioned me to help update some of her current pieces, along with a great dinette she found.

A Little White Beauty

I started re-doing furniture back in July 2012.  This is my latest creation, a French Provincial Dresser that I've been pining to do since I started and have been scouring blogs, how to websites, and pinterest.  I finally found one at the salvation army.  Do I think it is from France?  No, I don't.  I actually think this is a newer modern piece made to look like the old dressers, but hey--I'll take what I can get.  This was my first piece that I bought without a seller and ended up selling it. 

Here is the before photo.

 

 

Here she is after.
