This sassy red & honeycomb console was once warped and stained. I cut off sections to give it a slimmer look then went over the dingy white with a strong red paint. I distressed the edges to allow the original white to show through then sealed with High Performance Top Coat in Flat. I added some fun matte gift wrap and persimmon shaped hardware to complete the look.

I love to find forgotten old treasures and give them new life. There's just something about it that makes me happy. I guess it's in my blood!

An old map and some navy paint was all it took to cheer up a sad old oak file cabinet! After coating the piece with navy blue paint, I decopaged a map onto the drawer fronts. I lightly distressed then sealed the whole piece with High Performance Top Coat in Satin. The original brass hardware got a gentle cleaning, to retain some patina.

This pretty side table was totally out of date until it got a little loving from some fresh gray paint! After a good cleaning and sanding, I painted this piece in Seagull Gray Milk Paint then distressed for a handed down vibe. I sealed it with High Performance Top Coat in Satin.

You'd never believe that this beautiful cabinet was pulled from the trash compactor at the county dump! After some serious repair and a little love, it has new life and purpose. To get this look, I repaired doors and woodwork, filled, sanded, and wiped clean then went over the whole piece with General Finishes Walnut Gel Stain. I did a light coat of High Performance Top Coat then brought out the details with some Winter White Glaze. Once the glaze was dry, I sealed with High Performance Satin for extra durability.
