Restyled Sundays #58

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

Well, I disappeared once again. But, this time we actually got our daughter moved

into her house. I have spent the last three weeks painting and lining shelves to get her

ready to move in. There is still alot to do, but at least she is in and I am able to spend

some time at home and get my house back together. I sure did love having her here,

but I am sure we are both glad to have our own spaces again.

Last time I posted, we had been trying to survive snowmageddon. Well, today we

are getting nailed with snow again. We are supposed to get 9-10" overnight tonite.

Maybe I can get some projects finished while I am stuck in the house.

Even though it's been a couple of weeks since the last party, I still want to thank everyone for

sharing. I am still going to share my favorite projects.

I'm really impressed with this Message Center that

Denise..On A Whim created from an old crate lid.

I had never heard the term cerusing until I

saw this nightstand by Barb of Turtles and Tales. Awesome!

I have a thing about birds lately, so I really love this sign by

Pam from Adventures in Home Improvement

I would sure love to see what you all have been up to. Decorating,

sewing, painting and anything fun or creative.

And, hopefully I will be back to creating a little this week.

Miss Mustard Seed Copycat at the Mall

Ok, I finally finished my Miss Mustard Seed copycat project. Unfortunately, I didn't have the things I wanted to stage it with at home and it was going to the Antique Mall for sale, so the pics are all taken in my booth.

This was a fairly cute, but basically boring curio cabinet that my mom had in her living room before she remodeled. I had tried to sell it as it was, but no luck. Ok then, it had to come home for a remodel job of it's own. Of course I almost forgot to take a photo before I started, so I had already taped around the mirror, and you get to see my lovely unfinished basement with a few hundred other projects on going in the background.

A coat of primer and two coats of white paint. (I am still using up a cheap can of white paint that I had bought at Wal-Mart, it takes several coats to cover anything.) Then I distressed it and finished with a glaze of burnt umber and glazing medium. Finally, two coats of Minwax polyurethane and she was beautiful.

I think she turned out really pretty and she was my first attempt at glazing. I love how the molding at the top and bottom picked up the dark glaze, really makes her detail stand out. All of the items that I staged it with are blue's and white like MMS loves. I added the little crate and topiary on top for some extra texture.
