OFF TO THE AUCTION

Yeah, I know.  I need to STAY AWAY from those auctions.  These are two pieces that I purchased at a recent auction.  The little shelf on the right gets a makeover in this post.  Click below to see this quick and easy project.

I first painted it BRIGHT green, using a paint that I had special mixed by my local Glidden dealer.  I mixed Plaster of Paris with a little water, and then added that mixture to the green paint.  After seeing how FLORESCENT it looked, I decided to paint OVER the green with a basic white.  You'd almost have to wear sunglasses to look at it in this stage.

Sooooo, a coat of white paint and lots of distressing later.......this is how it looked.  A little green peeks through (not so overwhelming) and a little wood also shows.  I liked that much better.

And, that's it.  A quick, cute makeover.  

Just a couple days later, a customer sees it and leaves without it.  BUT, she calls back to see if the shelf will fit atop the little enamel top kitchen table that I have.

A couple measurements.........and.........Why, YES.   

What a cute idea.

 Thanks Amy!!  I hope you enjoy the two pieces.

What cha'll think?

Next post, I'll show ya the AFTER pics of the lil table on the left.  See ya then!!!  8-)
