Precious Pairs

I worked on this adorable little pair several months back but didn't have a chance to show them off then, what with other bigger pieces getting the spotlight. But these are just too cute to pass over.

They were originally a tired and dilapidated couple of wobbly end tables. My husband did the clever work of sturdying them up, and I took a few days to cover the evidence. The top of one of the tables was in obscene shape with waving, warped veneer. That took some intense mudding and sanding.

But it was completely worth it. Pieces like this are worth the little extra love needed to give them a new life.

I did a soft white base with a dark espresso glaze. And some distressing to highlight those cute curves and turns even more. 

Here they are in their cute new home! And I made a lovely new friend in the process of working on these. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Shabby chic white chandelier--sold!

A fabulous transformation of what once used to be a tired, garish bronzed chandelier. It had green snakeskin shades with gold braid. Can't believe I didn't take a picture when I first got it to prove I'm telling the truth. Many processes and paint layers later--voila! This chandelier has six arms, delicate scrollwork with light distressing, and some extra glamor with the crystal drops. It's about two feet tall and around the same across, with plenty of chain to drape this gorgeous piece from your ceiling. This shabby-chic dream would look amazing in a bedroom, foyer, dining room, or anywhere you could use a dose of whismy!

Sold! This dramatic piece is going to grace a bath in a custom dream home! And I met a fabulous new friend in the process=)
