Restyled Sundays #63

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

Once again, I've been off track here and so consumed with life that I can't seem

to keep up with posting.  Sorry that I missed hosting the party last week, I am

trying to get my mom's storage unit empty and life has once again been

a little overwhelming.  We picked up our new dog and immediately fell in

love with her, but one of our other dogs is not so thrilled. We are going to

have to work on some group training to make this work. I'll share

more about the girls later.

Now let's visit with my favorites from two weeks ago.

Christine from Rustic and Refined took a very boring dresser

and turned it into this beautiful console table.

Lynda at Something Created Everyday picked up this

adorable nut chopper at an estate sale. It is just like the one

my grandmother had when I was growing up!

Lisa at {createinspire} turned a boring buffet into

this beauty with some teal paint and pretty knobs. Love it!

And finally, Jane at Minnesota Junker found a simple wooden

key and created this cool wall hanging.

I always love what you all have to share. Thanks for coming back and back!

Now let's see what you been up to the last 2 weeks.

The Painted Hutch

It's a miracle, I finally finished a project! The china cabinet/ hutch that was sitting in my antique booth for over a year decided to come home for a makeover. Sorry, this is the best picture I could find. At least you can see how dark it was there in the background. Actually, my son painted the cabinet a while back. We had so much furniture in the antique store, I had just never gotten around to distressing and waxing it. And, of course, life gets in the way and things just sit 90% done.

We used homemade chalk paint with the unsanded grout recipe. The paint was bright white.

This cabinet had lots of details to distress. I love the way it came out.

I changed the wood knobs that were on it to some ORB knobs that I had found

on clearance at Target over a year ago.

These photos are at my booth at Lone Elm antique mall. 

I thought I would get in the Valentines spirit  with the red and white.

More of the same detail at the top!

Turns out, somebody else liked it as much as I did. It

sold the third day it was there!

Thanks for visiting, be sure to come back tomorrow for Restyled Sunday's!

I am showing my hutch off at these parties, check them out!

My Favorite Makeover Ever!

This is my favorite furniture makeover ever.

I found this very old oak buffet at a church garage sale this summer.

I only paid $25 for it since they were getting ready to close and willing to bargain.

Have you ever seen such beautiful trim work before?

Other than the brass handles and a major need for glue, she was beautiful to start with.

It took alot of glue and clamping to secure some loose joints, and then the ASCP

in Paris Grey. I did some moderate distressing to bring out her highlights, and ended up with this.

Sorry these pics aren't great, but I took her to the antique store on Sunday and forgot my

camera. I had found some great light turquoise knobs that looked very antique, but I had not found handles that I thought looked good with them. So, I had taken it down anyway, because I had help that day to carry it. ( I can't believe how heavy oak furniture is.) I was going to look for handles on my lunch hour when the antique store called and wanted to know how much I wanted for it.  I had not even priced it, since I did not have the handles.  They said the lady wanted it as is. So I ran out and took pictures with my phone. When she picked it up,  she left the knobs I had chosen and said she was going a different direction.

I could totally see crystal knobs on this buffet, but couldn't find enough of them at HL when I was there.

So there you have it, my favorite piece ever. Now I will spend the rest of my days searching Craigslist for another one. You never know when a new favorite will come along.

Don't forget to link up your makeovers or thrifty finds on Restyled Sundays, still going on until midnight Friday, there is a holiday giveaway going on this week.

Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!
