Turquoise desk with hutch top

This desk was pretty old and needed a good sanding- but since it was a good deal, I guess I better not complain. Also the hutch top was found at the best thrift store in the world- Unique- on 1/2 off day! Yay!

Before:

Yes, here I am in all my glory. And do check out my "love" pajama pants from Sophomore year of College. Still cool.

After:


This would be so great in my scrapbook room, but it ended up in the shoppes, of course. =)

Vintage White Hutch

This hutch is so unique! It has only one door & tons of shelving space! It really wasn't in the best shape when I got it, but after a little TLC, some fresh paint and some new hardware it turned out great!

Catching up...

I have been so busy painting that I haven't had a chance to catch up this blog with some of my before & afters.

The Desk:
I bought this desk to refinish for the Girls Camp fundraiser and auction I was in charge of to donate and hopefully raise some money for the girls to go to camp. I painted it a soft white, distressed it & glazed it. Luckily, one of the adorable girls going to camp wanted it & bought it!

After (all set up in her super cute room!):The Secretary:
My mom & I found this secretary on Craigslist for a pretty good deal. Luckily, it was in great shape & didn't need any extra work! I painted it the same white I painted the above desk then distressed it. I loved it & apparently someone else did because it didn't last long in the shop.

The Vintage Cupboard:
This awesome piece my mom & I found at a garage sale last year & it was in rough shape. It had a nasty linoleum top that was chipped and it needed some repairs to the bottom part, but after a good fixing by my mom & dad it turned out AMAZING! I love it!

Before:


After: My dad took off all of the linoleum then my mom stained the wood a gorgeous dark brown. She also repainted it and distressed it!
