Free Standing Mirror

Tonight I am going to show a make over of a large free standing mirror that my grandpa actually found for me at yard sale. Also about a week ago I won a giveaway for some Country Chic Paint, it is a chalk and mineral based paint also VOC free!. This was my first time trying out the paint, and I loved it. Its not to thick or runny and goes on so smooth! It dries matte and sands easily for the distressed looked all in all I loved the paint and would use it again. Here is how the mirror started. 

The Yellow End Table

This end table also come from the same yard sale. it is a mission style and I thought it needed a bit of help and a pop of color. And it had a few scratched and chipping clear coat on top.

Green End Table

In my post before this one I showed some things we found at a yard sale. One was this cute little end table to me looked like a small farmhouse table in a end table size. If only it was bigger! Here is how it started out.

Its the one to the left in front of the small hutch/shelf

I started out sanding the top and stained it and used a dark wax over the stain to make it even darker, After that I painteg the rest in a darkish green color and lightly distressed it and added dark wax to it to. 

I love how it turned out! and now looks like a old mini farmhouse table.

I also made these fabric pumpkins like the one below.

I will have more re-do's from the furniture in the first picture, so check back to see how those turned out. I also won some Country Chic Paint from a giveaway. So you will also see some furniture make overs using their paint, Excited to show you!

Finds of the Week #2

We went to a few yard sales the other day and this what we found.

2 endtables, a piano bench, 3 hanging wire baskets, another bench, a shelf, and taller shelf that i think hangs on the wall but also has two doors on the bottom. a large picture frame and a small shirt that im gonna use to make pumpkins like the one below

Ive already started on making a few fall items for the booth starting with the cute fabric pumpkins. 

Sewing Chair

I actually got this chair for free along with a sewing table. that I am going to use as a craft desk. It was a little dirty and fabric was awful. but there was also storage in the seat for small items.
This is how it started out.

Coral and White Nightstand

This nightstand come from a yard sale that I saw on a local Facebook group. We bought several things from them, The blue and white cabinet a few posts back was from them, and got a couple galvanized wash tubs and tall galvanized planter looking thing. This one took the longest to finish cause i just took my time and didn't know what to do it. After it sat for a few days i decide to kinda modern with it as it had such straight lines.

This is how it started out

I decide to use a coral color on the base of it and cut out in the drawers white and i left the knobs the same and I lightly distressed it in places. 

I love the colors make it more fun and a little more modern and the gold knobs goes perfect with it. I forgot to take more pictures before it got put into the booth. 

Painted channel back chair

We got this chair at a city-wide yard sale for $5.. which was a steal. It had some stains on the fabric and knicks in the wood. so I decided that since we got it for so cheap I would try the Annie Sloan paint on the fabric. Here is how it started out.

I painted the  fabric in Annie Sloan old white, as I was painting it I would dip the brush in water then in the paint to make it more watery then paint it onto the fabric it took a few coats here in there as it was watered down. Then I used waverly inspirations paint for the arms and legs.I lightly distressed the fabric to make it smooth and heavily distressed the arms and legs then i waxed the whole thing.

Here is how it turned out

The paint and wax do not come off when you sit on it and the wax over the paint makes it feel like a soft leather. So what do y'all think of the chair now? Would you ever paint the fabric?
