"BEFORE" the transformation of WHITE.....

A White Wednesday Transformation.....
Although I have been transforming ugly items into "white beauties" for the past 12 years or so, it never ceases to amaze me just how very different a coat of paint can make something look. I always encourage anyone wanting to "redo" a room to paint the furniture before going out and buying all new things. I mean, if you are going to give it to charity anyway, give it a try and you just might fall in love with your things all over again. This piece I found at a local Church bazaar that I go to each year. It was probably once white in the 50's, but someone (and it was probably a man because we KNOW how much they love natural wood...lol) had stripped the paint, along with the original children's decal on the front door and left it needing quite a bit of TLC. A simple coat of my favorite white paint, a little distressing, and a few sweet accessories and it is "new" again.....never, ever underestimate the power of white!! Want to see more white today......jump over to Faded Charm from the button to the left and see the other participants in today's event.....always sure to please.......

Oh yes, I believe in white cottage-distressed paint on any piece of furniture! You transformed this piece!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jana, for your kind comments about the magazine! We were thrilled!
Oh honey!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the white fresh paint on it. It just made it so beautiful, fresh, and happy. It looks so happy to have been made whole again.
The white color looks antique and fresh and clean. Beautiful piece. Just beautiful.
Please stop by and say hi. I would so love it if you do. Country hugs, Sherry

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the natural wood and I'm a woman! I even re-finished my kids high chair and left it without a coat of poly! Dummy me!

Ugh, reminds me....I must get to the stair steps of our freshly built home, gosh!

What a great transformation!! It is getting so cold here that I think the spray painting will have to wait till spring unless little projects.
ReplyDeleteI just love to make something new again out of paint!
