UPCYCLED FURNITURE




Remember the bedside table. I showed you before.

This was how it started.








And this is it finished.






I love the new handle.




I was going to put floral paper on the shelf. But decided it did not need it.




After painting and waxing I sanded back a few parts.To age it a little.
Then gave it a final wax.










I have also finished a pine t.v. cabinet. (Sorry forgot to take a before picture).
But this one was just orange pine. You know the sort.


First I painted it all over blue then added some pink details.






Then I waxed it with clear wax.


 Then I sanded it all back to age it or as some would say shabby chic it.



I think it looks great now.



After I sanded it back I finished with a last coat of clear wax.





Because the weather has been so beautiful I have put up my small gazebo and set up
tables outside to paint on.
