Seeing Red!!

Okay so I've finished up another piece of used furniture. I'm loving this! It's so much fun to take an ugly piece of furniture and make it usable. I needed a buffet like this for a while but there was no way I was going to pay so much for something that wasn't actually a need but more of a want.

Anyhoo here's my after shot of this buffet. I got it at an open market and now I love it!I has also taken up residence in Johnny's office and is a catch all for my sewing stuff. It's amazing what a little patience, sand paper and paint will do. Oh yea and that's my Hannah posing with the buffet, she makes it look so nice!

  11. Lovely, Tori! Great job!!! :) You are really talented in so many areas:blogging, graphics, sewing, and now, re-finishing furniture! You make me feel so lazy!
    I am already worried about the days when my kids are gone, too. I understand. It makes me very sad. And I don't sew or re-do furniture.I'm in trouble!Thanks for your kind words. You are a blessing.
