Just a little hobby...

I've been busy...
This dresser had humble beginnings...She was a little beat up when we found her on craigslist, but I was sure there was potential. I gave her a good cleaning, and a little TLC to the scuffs and scrapes. Then, I painted her with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg Blue. The paint detail is also ASCP, but in Old White. I kept the original hardware, but painted it with the rest of the dresser. After some light distressing, she had a beautiful new look.

In our new kitchen, we have the perfect place for a little dining table. We didn't need anything large...actually the contrary. I found this beauty on craigslist for a really nice price and I couldn't pass it up. Here are the obligatory before and after photos...

I cleaned and lightly sand the table. The top was finished with General Finishes Gel Stain in Java. The bass and bar stools are painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen. Now we have a perfect place for "dinner for two" every night.
