A few new pieces

This week was productive, I completed 3 pieces and started a 4th. Nothing really fancy, but fun to work on.

When I found the bookshelf, it had doors on it. The glass was missing and hardware was broken. I thought about replacing the glass or even putting chicken wire in the holes. But in the end, I decided to remove the doors, fill the holes and paint it.  I chose an Antique White for the exterior and a light gray for the interior and knobs.

This black chest was in nice condition, even the faux slate top wasn't damaged. It was just extremely out dated and to be honest, ugly. Usually the hardware can be removed, this wasn't the case. Fortunately, it was all there and in good shape.  I see it as a chest in a man's office or even a chest in a boys room - so black was the color I thought would be best. I did a bit heavier distressing than my normal amount, but it needed it, to give it some detail and character.

I love this small accent table. I'm not sure of it's age, but its an older piece. It was a wonderful find.

Only a bit of damage to the veneer, and I mean a tiny bit. It was easy to just sand it and fill with wood putty. Once again, Antique White paint and distressing.  It's hard not to take this piece home.

The shop is open tomorrow, I have a feeling it's gonna be a busy weekend. I also have a workshop tomorrow night from 6:00 - 9:00 and then an All Day Workshop on Saturday, 10:00 - 4:00.  If nothing else, I'm certainly not bored :)

Til next time, be creative.
