Welcome Spring

After a long winter I'm so excited for spring to finally really be here. I think I'm going to take a little break from blogging and really enjoy the season. I have so many projects that I'm really looking forward to working on. Hope you all have a wonderful Spring time!

sewing machine drawers

I've had these drawers from an old treadle sewing machine for over forty years. I love them and they make the perfect little end table. I decided it was time to paint them,( after 40 years anything could use a new paint job)


 I didn't even bother to sand it down, just painted it with my new favorite creamy yellow color.







 I love the detail on the drawer pulls.


 I like to sand the edges and the go over then with mahogany stain rather than using the gel stain.

 The details show up better with lots of distressing.

 Amazing what a little paint can do!

I think it looks so much happier now and perfect in my front room.

  5. That is just yummy! It went from unhappy caramel to vintage lemon chiffon with fine shabby details. Just gorgeous.

  8. Oooooh-this piece is just wonderful - painted or not! But I do love the creamy yellow - one of my favorite colors. Might be why my house siding is creamy yellow :)
