Fly Away

By Painted Lady by Barbara Boyles, Owner at PAINTED LADY BY BARBARA BOYLES in North Little Rock, AR.

Transferred butterfly top with a twist is just what this sad,nasty,dirty,covered in gunk antique hospital table needed ...did I say nasty? Well,I am not exaggerating at all. Got busy and sanded,cleaned,sanded....no go nothing was coming off this nasty piece pulled out the big guns. The dreaded stripper...if you are going to upcycle furniture you are going to use stripper you might as well get used to it. And then I sanded,cleaned,sanded did I say cleaned?

Ok, we are ready for the fun part painted blue Benjamin Moore color....if you recycle very many pieces you will soon learn what improvise  or roll with the flow means...my image to transfer would not fit the entire top so I taped off diagonal stripes and transferred image stripes on the top...I LOVE IT...

ADDED JWELED BUTTERFLY TO FRONT DRAWER AND GOLD DIPPED LEGS EQUALS STYLING. Her name is FLY AWAY
