Sunburst Buffet

I have been looking for something with cupboards for our entry way so the kids can keep all their shoes close to the door.  I love this piece but it is a bit too big for the entry way.  It was in really good condition when we bought it which made my job a lot easier.  I used a walnut on the wood areas that would be showing, to give it a new shine and fill in some of those scratches, it worked perfectly.  I fell in love with this color, Nifty Turquoise.  It is one of those colors that doesn't photograph well though.  In the pictures the buffet looks very blue when really it has a ton of green but I can't get that to show up.

The color is Sherwin Williams Nifty Turquoise.  The piece is finished with Fast Drying Polyurethane.

Perfect Kids Desk

Our kids have been head over heals for desks lately.  So we picked this one up and got it ready lickety split.  A quick sand and stain to the top and a fresh coat of paint to the body and it is ready to use.  The color is deeper in person but I couldn't capture it with our camera.

The color is a mix of Behr Happy Camper and Sherwin Williams Gulf Stream.  In these colors Behr is a but thick and Sherwin Williams is a thinner paint, mixing them together made the viscosity perfect.  The top is stained with Minwax English Chestnut.  Everything is sealed with Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane.  

Dream Dresser Makeover

We did some furniture swapping around our home and our dream dresser ended up in the living room.  Well, teal was not the right color for that room so to the garage he went to get a makeover.  We striped the paint and sanded the top.  I think this is the best he has ever looked.

The color is Sherwin Williams Westhighland White.  The drawers and top are stained with Minwax English Chestnut.  Everything is sealed with Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane.

Secretary Desk

For some reason I have had this need for a secretary desk.  I cannot remember when this started but it hasn't gone away.  So we sold our coral desk and found this beauty on craigslist. It took me a while to figure out the color and the stripes but she is finished and I absolutely love her!!!  Now I just need to find a chair and my life will be complete.  

The base color is Sherwin Williams Begonia but it wasn't quite right so I added about half a cup of deep red paint.  The stripes are all Behr paint.  The green and gray are oops paint, the pink is Poetic Princess, and the cream is Creme Brulee.  I lightly distressed and added English Chestnut Stain.  The hardware is sprayed with Painter's Touch . The piece is sealed with Fast Drying Polyurethane.
