PROJECT LIST

As I mentioned before, summer is busy busy busy!
Here are a few more projects I have completed.
I saw an idea for hair accessories on a website, but it involved screws, drilling, nuts, bolts, etc.
Too much for me!
I found what I needed at a thrift store.

I got out my glue gun and tada. . . 

This was so easy.  The longest part was waiting for the glue gun to heat up! 

Next, I tried a new paint. 
Annie Sloan CHALK PAINT. 
This is not chalkboard paint but a thick paint that goes on with a brush.

I used it first on this solid cherry coffee table I found at the Goodwill Outlet.

I LOVE this piece!!! 
I saw one just like it on the internet for $1,220!!!!!!

This paint looks so different from anything I have ever used. 
I distressed it just a bit, so that the beautiful cherry wood could show through.

(Someone had to be in the picture!)

The next piece I tried the new paint on was a 3 drawer dresser.


I found a knob to fit in the middle and spray painted the other original ones.




I do not have a before of this bookcase.
It was just white.
I thought it would be fun to add some color to the inside.


AND. . . I am not keeping any of the furniture!!!!!!
I am selling it all at my garage sale!
