BIG BLACK DRESSER

Here it is as we bought it scratched and abused and needing some love.

a lot of the hardware was nailed in place and was carefully removed for painting.

broken pulls that were bondoed and then received a single center metal knob
look at the top drawers below to see finished repair.

This dresser had a lot of ornate hardware to paint.

Here is the finished dresser and it can only be described as masculine. I really love the look of gloss black hardware on satin black paint, it's a classic look.

ANOTHER PEACOCK BLUE CHEST

We are still playing around with this hue o'blue. This chest was painted and distressed and then glazed with English chestnut Minwax stain. The top of this chest was badly scratched, but we where able to sand out all the problems back to bare wood. We then stained it with English chest stain and finished it with Minwax clear satin polyurethane. We sold this quickly and will probably do another one.

$2 GARAGE SALE TABLE RADIO

Michelle found this Hitachi table radio at a garage sale for $ 2.00 and it needed the power cord repaired and that's all, it was dirty and dated looking but it worked and sounded good so we gave it a make over. We painted it with some of the Hazel color we had left over from our desk's projects and the speaker fabric was from a bunch of furniture fabric samples we bought. I didn't take any before pic's but I did find some pic's of model # K-791h on eBay and the radio pictured is about what ours looked like before we restored it.

Peacock chest gets glazed

I sold the Peacock chest, but the buyer wanted to have it glazed black and have the knobs/handles painted black also. I think this looks awesome and will probably do another piece this way.

Mrs.Peacock's chest of drawers

I have to have some fun with color now and then and when
I read that peacock blue was in style this year I waited
for the right piece to come along to paint and here it is
I know it's not for every one, but I like it.
