Red side table

So this little beauty was a fun one - a little more work to clean up but love the red.

 I do apologize for forgetting to post "before" pictures but I have remembered with my most recent pieces. Plus, I found a consignment/used furniture showroom in town that is interested in "hiring" me to re-do some pieces because they always have people come in and ask for "antiqued/distressed/repainted" pieces. I could get used to this, but I still have to remember to take it one piece at a time - start to finish. My next big project is Calder's bed frame, bookshelf and dresser. The requested colors - black and red. What?

Furniture

Look what I learned how to do! It is a lot more involved that one would think. There's stripping, priming, sanding, painting, distressing, glazing and sealing. Plus you have the hard task of choosing which colors of paint to use and what knobs to switch. I am going crazy now and wanting to re-do everything we have and Jeff says it's okay as long as I don't buy new furniture to re-do unless I sell old stuff - which this little cutie is going to do. Look back every once in a while and I'll post pictures of my other furniture makeovers that are nearly done.
Believe me, this is super cute now compared to the yellow and brown it used to be!

I am learning new techniques and experimenting with all of our furniture in our new apartment! Yes, that is right. We moved into our own apartment finally! It is a little closer to town and we have awesome neighbors (that we already knew from church) and we walk to school everyday. It is half underground/basement and is basically new with all of the remodeling and we are loving it.
