Secretary Combo

This cute little secretary was dropped off at my shop a little while back and, of course, I've been stewing pondering about what to do with it.  It was in very good shape, just needed some updating.  She was a little blah (and I really didn't like the wood handles--maybe that's just an excuse to put something cute on there ;)  ).  I wanted it to have a soft, feminine feel, and I was dying to use the fabric I ordered off Etsy a while back (another place I need to stay off of!).  

 Before

It had the 80's country feel (in my opinion) :)

 After

 I absolutely love these cup pulls and this little ceramic knob.

 The inside was pretty beat up and the idea of sanding all the old finish off by hand to restain it was a little daunting, so I opted to paint it instead.

Since the backboard actually had grooves in it (and that would be a big 'ol pain!) I just took it off, flipped it over, and then attached my fabric to the flat side.

Black Buffet

I love a simple makeover and black looks good on almost anything.  Nuff said. :)

 Before

 After

I just got rid of the little thingamajigs on the doors and replaced them with magnetic latches on the inside, updated the wood knobs to pulls (love them always!), and cleaned out and lined the drawers.

Antique Peacock Side Table

If you know me at all you know I cannot resist a great pair of legs!  Well this little table has 3 pairs of great legs!  It was pretty rough when it came to my shop.  Parts were falling off and it needed some minor repairs, but (along with those fabulous legs) I  loved the shape of it and the inlay on the top.  I debated whether or not I should paint the top, but in the end I just couldn't do it! :)  I had so much fun painting this radio cabinet that I couldn't wait until I found another piece to do the same color.  I knew right away when I saw it that it was the one. :)

 Before

 After

 I sanded the top all the way down (but left some of the old stain on the edges because I like the way it looks when you restain it)  and stained it with Minwax in Dark Walnut, then gave her 3 coats of poly in a semi-gloss.  I just realized I covered up the inlay with all my "stuff".  Oops!  It is very unique and pretty... maybe I'll have to go back and take another pic. 

 This color is just so pretty--so much better in person, too.  I just stood there and stared at it for a minute (yes, I'm nuts!).  

 Check out all those yummy legs!
