Red End Table

i really need to do better on posting here..i'm just so busy right now that i don't make the time...i'm in the middle of trying to open a shop...its my dream to sell furniture and i'm so excited to finally be able to do it...i'm hoping that my dream will actually become a reality...being able to open a shop and selling the things you do are 2 different things...i want people to want my things...but what i want more is for this to succeed and provide for my family...i have a lot of determination right now and pursuing my dream is my top priority...

this is my latest piece...i just finished it about 30 minutes ago...

i should have taken a better pic before i started...i'm just so caught up in being busy and getting pieces done...the one on the bottom is the one i'm posting about


i added some dark stain on top...this is the beginning of priming

putting some bright red on...
finished! after some glaze and wax...

Angelic-Chest Of Drawers

if you follow me on facebook, you know that i name all of my furniture pieces...i recently started letting my followers name the pieces...

this has to be one of my favorite things i've done since i started painting...its a 4 drawer chest of drawers that i bought on facebook...

this is what it looked like before...an unwanted piece of furniture that the owner couldn't wait to get rid of...a chest of drawers that i couldn't wait to get!

here is a before of one of the drawers...as you can see, it had orange peeling on it...the paint job was awful...i knew that it would be a challenge..


the first drawer that i stripped and sanded...it took quite a bit of effort...more time than i wanted to spend...but i have been wanting to do this type of look for a long time...

the top after stripping and sanding...i like how it has the little pegs that go into the wood...

 finished...a nice 2 tone chest of drawers...i am so in love with this look! i normally don't spend so much time on a single piece but i really wanted to accomplish this...i'm trying to expand my portfolio to let people know what i can do...its very angelic..

if you are in the area and are interested in this piece, it will be for sale at Creating Love And Joy store...
