reDONE

One thing I love to do is refinish furniture. I sometimes find pieces in the trash, take hand me downs or are given pieces.  Alot of times items of real value are tossed and I am just glad I am there to rescue some of them.

My friend Christina Escalante gave me this piece. It was a yellow-brownish color. The knobs were brass. My dad and I painted the under coat yellow and top coat gray, then used steel wool to give it the DISTRESSED look. The knobs were replaced by knobs found at Anthropolgy. This is my nightstand

This is Jim's nightstand, it was brown. My dad painted it solid gray and I replaced the knob with one from Anthropolgy.

I love the knob.....

ryan's ROOM

This cabinet has been in the family for generations, my father painted it green upon my request. It will serve as Ryan's dresser. The rocking chair belong to Jim's mother, the butterfly pillow was made by me in high school in Ms. Henderson's class, it is a Batik.

There are many baskets in the cabinet to keep her things organized. My sister got me that card right before I found out I was pregnant and thought the world was ending. The pink item is a vintage hat and sweater worn and given to me by a dear friend, SJD.
