However, when I saw this makeover I just had to comment.......I love it!! I think it is one of my all-time fave pieces I've seen. A few years ago hubs and I gave up the burbs for a very old Federal farmhouse in the country. I've become a vintage Etsy seller and furniture makeover amateur to fill all the empty rooms. I love the before and after pics bloggers such as yourself share with us.....I know it takes time trying to get good lighting and complimenting angles :) It's especially nice when folks such as yourself share some of the how-to as well. You're on my favorite blog list and I look forward to all of your future inspirations. <br /><br />Forgive me if you've mentioned this in an earlier post, but where do you sell your pieces that aren't custom jobs? I know one day my rooms will start looking like a hoarder's paradise and I'll will need to part with some of my "babies."<br /><br />Thank you again for sharing :)<br /><br />Tamms in Ohio farm countryTamms @ Amelie's Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05466084804437983042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589172193003935381.post-72476099623065468682013-11-07T09:24:53.692-06:002013-11-07T09:24:53.692-06:00Love it!

I work on my pieces in a refinishing studio workshop, and I'm waiting for the others to burn me at the stake. I don't paint everything. My criteria, would my family toss this in the dumpster if it was painted or stained and refinished. If the answer is they'd probably throw it in the dumpster either way, I do what I want to.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171389134207433317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589172193003935381.post-55071891278680632112013-11-01T08:09:14.764-05:002013-11-01T08:09:14.764-05:00That's gorgeous!!

I just really hate the way it looks - it must be because I'm also a perfectionist, and I think that glazing makes pieces look dirty and irregular (I know, I know ,that's the point...). Gah! Can't stand it!! I also saw your post on the Peacock vanity you did - it's gorgeous! I have yet to try actual STAIN (and mineral spirits) on paint, but I'd like to try it. Thanks for the tip!

The paint you use can be stripped so easily it's almost a joke for someone who might want to "restore" an unremarkable piece. I'll bet you don't see them out there doing Paint Rescue Runs. Sorry.

What kills me is the people that follow my blog or facebook (knowing that I paint furniture) and make a stink when I paint a really old piece. I just want to scream, "You know what I do, right"? Sometimes I even want to ask why they follow.....oh well.

I think you really give your pieces new life when you paint them. The only time I might not consider painting a piece that I find is if the wood is in really good condition and you can tell it was cared for. Half the time the pieces I get have already been painted or the only way to get them to look good is to paint them.
