Furniture Updates

I have been trying to finish some projects here!

It is so annoying when you have something UNFINISHED staring at you, right???

Ok, so I have this little chest of drawers that has been bugging me. I love, love this “end table” for lack of a better word to describe it.

But it is too high to be in the middle of the chairs where it is. I have changed the table between these chairs a couple of times, but put this one there until I sell it. Yes, I decided to let it go… I posted it on Craigslist but so far no bite!

A friend suggested I distressed a bit more. I did it, and also I coated with dark wax to finish.

I am going to post it again today! I already have another tiny table lined up to take its place.

UPDATE!!!!

This little bedside table was SOLD TODAY!!! So now THIS was my first piece of furniture ever sold, as I still have the chest here, lol!

I am still not convinced those chairs should remain white…

Also, remember the “New Trunk” I got from a friend?

Another friend came over and LOVED IT. She said she wanted to buy it, and asked me to paint off-white. I used ASCP Old White. Finished it with clear wax.

I love it! I should call it “Hope Chest” as some of my readers pointed out.

Soon it will be filled with my friend’s stuff! This is SO HEAVY and also big inside!

I hope she likes it as much as I do! I can’t wait to deliver it! My first sold project!

UPDATE:
My friend loved the Hope Chest, and my son helped me deliver it yesterday!!!! So this was the firstpiece I actually made for a client!!!!

I also remembered to buy tulips and put in the little milk glass vase in my guest room…
