This vintage twin bed is one of a pair I purchased yesterday. I love twin bed sets! This pair is beautiful and in great condition. I am soooo tempted to keep these and turn my spare-currently-a-storage-space bedroom to a guest bedroom. Should I sell or keep??

The design plain for these are:
1. Paint with ASCP Duck Egg Blue
2. Finish with clear wax.

Sneak peak: The top stripped and stained with Minwax special walnut. Doesn't it look fantastic compared to the old finish? Check back in a few days for the fcompleted dresser.

I purchased this stunning dresser from the sweetest man. This antique dresser belonged to his brother who passed away a couple of years ago. This solid cherry dresser is 103 years old and is in fantastic shape.

The design plan for this beauty is:
1. Strip and stain top with Minwax special walnut stain.
2. Paint body of dresser ASCP duck egg blue.
3. Distress.
4. Clean and polish sold brass pulls
5. Finish with clear wax or poly

I picked up this sweet antique dresser the other day. The gorgeous wooden k***s are what really caught my eye. I estimate this dresser is approx 100 years old.

The plan for this dresser is:
1. Strip and stain the top and k***s.
2. Add reverse bird silhouette.
3. Paint body of dresser ASCP Provence blue.
4. Distress.
5. Stain over paint.
6. Finish with clear wax or poly

I thought it would be fun to post this picture of me way back in Highschool that my good friend Bel Jacob sent me. Here i'm glazing a ceramics piece. Art was my passion back then.

Annie Sloan chalk paint is the paint I prefer to use on my wood pieces. It has amazing properties. It is easy to custom mix colors, has low VOCs, and dries super fast. The colors are beautiful. I always finish my pieces with clear or dark wax. Check out the colors available in the sample photo I've listed.
