A lucky lady contacted me over on Facebook when she saw a glimpse of
my unfinished Paris Blue Night Stands
I dont often get sentimental or anything when my furniture leaves for its new home,
but these 2 pieces looked so amazing I did mourn the lose for a short time.
Yesterday I shared how to color your wax and promise
to show all the different elements that went into transforming these
homely little cabinets into beautiful bedroom pieces.
#1 Remember to take a real before picture.
(not one after you remove the hardware and start painting)
#2 Add new curvy front kick.
(cause your too lazy to fix the chipped and peeling veneer)
#3 Turn upside down and install legs.
(perfect time to remove cobwebs - customer wont pay extra for them)
#4 Paint some more before you finish.
(how else are you going to get those signature paint streaks in your hair)
#5 Glue the appliques to your drawer fronts.
(no one will ever suspect you pride them off a piece of furniture road side)
#6 Start waxing.
(cause you are still not finished)
#7 Install drawer handles and paint some more.
(who would have thought, the original ones worked best)
#8 Add another applique.
(cause you can)
#9 Build and install doors.
(dont take any photos of this step)
#10 Paint tops in white and wax to a high gloss.
(dont tell you wanted to make them look like marble but everything
was already taking so long and costing too much)
#11 Take pretty pictures.
(so you can reminisce later in life when you are too old to remember)
Coming soon ...
I will be addressing my obsession for bedside tables
with this next set seen below.
There is a sneak peak over at Facebook if you cant wait!
