Still Learning

I was still learning not to buy previously painted furniture when this layered beauty came my way.  I thought I love it enough to put in the time, right?  No way, NEVER buy painted furniture!!  I should have learned from the pepto bismol desk but I didn't.  Well after, I think it was, 6 layers of paint in varying shades.  I think there was white, yellow, blue, red and maybe even a green thrown in there.  We saw some wood under there, somewhere, but gave up and just sanded it smooth.  It turned out nice but we know what is really under there.  This was Olivia's dresser until I found her now wonderful, perfect, how could I have thought of another dresser.




The color is Behr Bleached Linen, finished with Minwax Finishing Paste  I'm sad we couldn't save the keyholes but as I said I was still leaning.

About Me

Growing up we never realized that we could make or change our furniture. Now that we are old and grown..ha..we realized that you can do anything you want to do. We like finding an old battered piece of furniture and seeing what we can make of it. We find joy in the journey and love seeing our pieces go to someone who loves them. Our house is slowly changing to whatever we want it to be and we are loving seeing the transformation.
