Mms painted hutch for the barn sale

She was a very retro hutch which I walked away from 3 times. Just couldn't see any possibility for her at all. I ended up calling my son to help load her in the back of my sequoia. Just in case you never know right? Well after staring at her in the doorway of the barn becuz there was absolutely nowhere else to put her. I decided it was time to do something with her shabby her up or take her to good will. Well her hideous glass sliding doors on the top had to go and so did her awful bottom brown doors. Just terrible looking    So hunky went to town removing stuff then added a shelf to the top for me. I sanded her down painted her in miss mustard seeds French enamel and did her inside in homemade chalk paint. I then made her a little French curtain and put new drawer pulls on. Now she is in her new home all set up in their guest bedroom. She got finished off in miss mustard seeds hemp oil.

Sweet Douglas

Little chest of drawers. He was well worn but I fell in love with him him despite his damaged top and peeling veneer. I knew it was nothing hunky couldn't do so I bought him and loaded him up. I bought him from a barn sale in westby Wisconsin and brought him home to our barn where he would undergo his face lift. 

Hopeful the hope chest

I have a weakness for boxes, trunks, really anything with a lid. I just just can't resist them. So we discovered this Beauty with some wear but couldn't turn her away. Her inside was good. I couldn't stand her base and some dog in her previous life decided to help distress her trim pieces. Her lid had water marks but not too many of my pieces lately don't have water marks so let the fun begin. 

Our first barn sale

Well we participated in our first barn sale. It was quite the learning experience. We met lots of new people and made some great friends.
