I painted it laura ashley sterling, in satin finish and then distressed it a bit, then did a glaze with ebony minwax stain and quickly rubbed it off. After doing that I thought it needed some more detail so I taped off the diamond and did a quick white wash with primer and then restained. Then a final coat of poly.
I am going to let this sit over the weekend and then take it into the store and see if it sells or not. I can also buy more garage sale finds because I have finished painting all my furniture that was piling up. I have to make little deals with myself like that or I would be guest starring on hoarders.
Linking to miss mustard seed and tatertots and jello.


Very Cute!! That would have been hard to let go..
ReplyDeleteThis is very nice. $5??? I think there are exceptions to the hoarding category when you find deals like that. You did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteFound you via tater tots!
Great find and what a deal !!!! You did a great a job redoing it...I almost always forget the before shot too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Congrats on your first of many sales!
