New Projects of The Week

Here are my newest projects that I have been working on this week. I will be putting them in my new booth at The Willows. I'm really excited about this new adventure! I have never done a booth like this before.

The first one is a dresser that I found for sale on Craigslist over 2 years ago!! I stripped all the parts with a commercial-grade stripper.  I then sanded them and glued all loose  joints. 
My plan with this one is to stain the draws and mirror frame. The rest of it will go a blue..... I'm still not sure if I' want to go a dark or light blue.



 This is a small end table that has two sides with magazine racks. I was very lucky with this find because it was given to me. I knocked all the loose joints apart, sanded everything, and then glued it. I'm going with a white paint then going to scuff and then going to use a little brown wax to finish it. The top which is not pictured is going to be stained.

Here is a small half round table that was also given to me. This one had gray contact paper on the top. I had to gently remove it without taking the veneer off the top of the table. There were a few loose pieces of the veneer that I had glued down, then I was able to strip it.

This is a small record cabinet my husband was using and decided to give it to me!! He upgraded to a bigger cabinet. I sanded it all down,  glue the little loose joints then painted it white. I taped off the gold feet and handles.
Keep following along to see the end results. I like to post as I go and unfortunately I'm always working on more than one project. So I do tend to jump around quite often!!!
