Hi Friends!
How’s it going? We’re enjoying such beautiful weather here in upstate NY! It’s been great to work in the sunshine and have very few rainy days causing paint dripping and long drying times. If you missed our mid week post last week, take a second to go see all the pretty pics from the Interior Design and Painting Project that we just finished for our church.
Want to know the highlight of my week?? Getting to meet my newest nephew Elijah. He’s already 7 weeks old. One quick look at him and I fell in love…
Soooo cute! Now no piece of furniture will compare. ;)
One of our friends, Beth, owns a demo company in Troy. She calls me when there is something that she has been asked to trash that she thinks may be FunCycle-able. When she sent me this pictures, I just loved it! I couldn’t wait to transform it, but it’s been waiting for months and months for us to get time to transform it.
Once we started prepping it, we started sanding the shutter doors and found all of this beautiful red scrolling popping through.
I just couldn’t paint over it!! I wanted to find a way to keep the detailing while giving it a new look and feel. We decided to make it into a wine cabinet, but it could also be used for extra storage anywhere. We can take the X out of the bottom as well.
I mixed a couple of different reds together that I had and repainted the outside. I cleaned the original shutter part well and clear coated the entire thing to seal and protect it.
