A Make Over

Happy New Year!
I do hope that everyone had a
great weekend!  
I got almost all of the Christmas
decorations packed away today, for 
another year.  It seems unreal that we 
are in the year 2011, already!

I thought I would show you all the
chair that I painted awhile back.
Here it is before....



I love the shape of this chair, but I 
am not into white, chippy paint, 
so I painted it black and I didn't 
like the shine on it, so I dry brushed
the red, from the hutch on it...


 I distressed it a little and I like it
much better.  How about you?

I have a bread box, that I painted 
black and distressed, that I will sell,
if anyone is interested....I will post 
it, soon....You can e-mail me about 
it, if you would like.


I am going to get to painting and 
sewing, very soon and I will be 
starting  up a selling blog, so be 
watching for that, in the future.
I will also be selling things that I 
no longer want, and things I  have
made over.


I am on a mission to get rid of things,
 and what better way to get rid of it, 
than to sell it to my prim friends?


Until next time, my friends...

  8. Hey Karen, personally I like the white, chippy paint but I really like the way you finished it. The red over black and sanded looks great!
