Wall Plaque Re-Do

Well, my Son and his Bride-to-be just bought a house

and need lots of things for decorations 

So, we have been hitting the thrift stores for bargains

and going through my stuff that I have in boxes

I had really forgotten about some of the stuff that I had put away

but, I found this distressed wall plaque that I have had for years

don't even know where in the world it came from

but I always like the feeling of it 

You know, that there was something really good about it

if you could get past the dainty painting on it

I had some leftover Sherwin Williams paint in Garden Sage

I just painted one coat on and rubbed some of it off

then I applied some bronze glaze

This looks so much better!

And the best part

it was totally free

And, I'm getting my basement cleaned out!

I am joining Kim's Boring to Better Party

Stop on over at Kim's to see what else has been Redone, Sanded, Glazed, Painted, Distressed, Updated, etc.

Thanks for stopping by,

Traci

Same; just better

I am in the process of moving my craft room downstairs and I need a table for my drill press,

which is currently disguised as a kitchen appliance. 

There are many jokes made about my cooking, 

so having a drill press on your kitchen counter doesn't help.

My Mother has a rental house that just became empty and they left this neat cabinet/hutch looking thing that would be perfect for my drill press.

Once I got it into the workshop,

I kinda liked the color of the green paint that it already had, 

but since I have been looking at lots of blogs lately,

  

I wanted to try something different. 

I thought Why Not? 

If I don't like it - I can just re-paint.

I got so excited about my project - I did not take any before pictures,

but I did stop and take some in-between pictures.  

You can see the cabinet drawer on the left has not been distressed.

Look at the difference a little sanding and glaze can do! 

I was truly amazed.

Another close up

It made all the details just stand out.

So a big Thank You to all my new blogging friends for letting me join in this wonderful world of blogging and showing me that a little sandpaper and glaze is indeed a good thing!

Thanks for stopping by, 

I hope you enjoyed looking at my same; but better cabinet!
