I can't believe I never posted the final product of this large buffet that needed a lot of love!

My tiny dining room/kitchen made it so hard to get a decent picture, but I LOVE the way Modern Masters metallic paint transformed this into such a unique piece!

Remember that awesome buffet I've been working on all week??... Finding a piece to fix the broken leg proved to be harder than I anticipated so I decided to create my own piece to repair it.
The ladies at Michaels probably thought I was crazy as I tried to explain what I was trying to accomplish!
Anyway, I got some molding putty, pressed it around one of the good legs, cooked the mold then filled the mold with Bondo, let it dry then peeled the mold away from the Bondo.
It definitely isn't prefect yet, BUT I now have something to work with to make it fit perfectly on that broken leg that is front and center!

I wish my dinky phone could take pictures to give this hutch some justice! This is when having a skill of photography, or at least a nice camera, would have come in handy 😉

Anyway, this is my great grandma's hutch that my mom has always had in our house. It was a pretty cherry wood, but it somehow got a nasty water stain that couldn't be fixed so refinishing it was the best option.

I used General Finishes Coastal Blue for the whole piece then I used Van D**e glaze in the details and the back to give it some dimension without distressing.

I kept the original hardware because those are the handles my great grandma used! Her sweet hands touched opened those same drawers and cupboards and I couldn't get rid of them!

My first mantle redo!

My parents are getting custom bookshelves built for both sides of the mantle and before those could go in, it needed a makeover!

So much brighter and it flows with the room so much better

I absolutely adore this sofa table!

This was my GREAT GREAT grandma's. As I painted this I imagined all the history that went along with this table, the stories that were told around it, the flowers displayed on it, the books thrown on top and the food that might have been served on it. Oh I wish I could have known my grandma Bell. I've only heard what a strong woman she was!

I used General Finishes Coastal blue milkpaint. It also has a medium distressing that was created by using a vinegar and water combo instead of using sandpaper because I didn't want any of the original varnish to come off under the paint

This amazing side table was next to my grandma's bed for years, but it always had a table cloth on it so these legs were always hidden.

Now, with General Finishes Linen milkpaint and Java gel stained top it has a fresh new look that won't be hidden under a table cloth!

This was a quick 20 minute total makeover!

I used General Finishes van d**e glaze over a white paint that was previously on this little bench. Now it matches the room perfectly!

This was a dark wood and it just looked so heavy in this room. General Finishes Linen and their Java gel stain for the top lightened the whole feel of this piece
