Hallelujia!!

After about 2 months worth of work and I swear 75 coats of paint... she is done and she is LOVELY!! Here is a quick before shot to remind you how much love she needed! Originally it looked like a piece right out of the 70's.


And the after shots:

I couldn't find any hardware that would fit that wasn't $10/handle and since this piece needed 9 handles we decided to re-use some we had taken off previous pieces and just spray them all with the same oil rubbed bronze spray paint which worked perfect! We used the basic whitepaint by behr that is combined with primer (love that!) in an eggshell finish. And used a black glaze on the molding pieces and there you have it. So glad she's done and moved into the house. Then there was this quick project. I found this lamp at a garage sale the other day and yes the tag reads 50 cents!! Wahoo! So again with a quick spray of the oil rubbed bronze spray paint she went from this...

to this...
And here is a sneak peak at the project I've been working on most recently. It was SUCH a piece of cake after taking on the big hutch- it is already done and is drying as we speak. As soon as it's moved into the house I'll post some after pictures. Love how it turned out. Here is the before:
This table we also got at a garage sale recently for $10.00. And it's going on the landing part of the staircase. Can't wait to move it in all finished!!
