The wall shelf has nice lines, but has paint-can rust stains on each shelf. Junky add-on back and funny add-on bottom shelf.
Repaired and repainted, the redone pile is starting to grow....
{Among the stuff, you can see some of the accessories I will be using in my display when I get ready to sell these redones.}
and it all looks better than this, don't you think?

ReplyDeleteHi Joan! So nice to meet you :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hi! I've never made it to the Grayslake flea, although I'd like to. I live near Kane, so I'm there scoping things out every month!

Great work on these pieces, can't wait to see the rest. I love the lines on that upside down chair I spy in your bundle. Looking forward to that one! Happy Monday... x Julie

ReplyDeleteYou're making great headway. You have a great eye and know what needs to be done to make to work. Keep it up, you're getting there!!!!
ReplyDeleteDebra
Don't you feel great every time something gets added to the"done" pile??? It's such a great feeling! The table and the shelf are adorable, glad your rescued them!
ReplyDeleteM & C
Yes, it definitely looks better/beautiful in the after stack. What a great feeling ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh what magic you do with a paint brush!
ReplyDeleteAll that seems brand new.
Thank you for the lovely comment on my blog. I'm so glad you stopped by because it led me to your blog !
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with all of your finds ......made me laugh because it reminds me of my brain ....I get inspired so easily when I go thrift shopping and to my husbands chagrin I end up with piles of furniture under the porch!
To my credit though , I did finish four pieces this summer LOL
Will definitely check back to see your progress.
Cheers
Bre
When it is all said and done, it will be worth all the mess your are having now. I am glad its you and not me. Gad you had time to leave a comment and visit.

Love the white paint treasures...I have a few pieces waiting for their redo's!! Just not enought time in a day...It would be awesome to shop at your up coming sale!!
Deb :)
White paint can fix just about anything! Your redone pile is bigger than mine...I better get after it! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are sharing your journey with us. I may get inspired to get something out off my to do pile. I'm sure my pkg will arrive right when I need a smile and not a moment sooner.
ReplyDeleteHey, think you're making great headway! It does seem overwhelming at times, for me, and I have to get my butt in gear just so I can complete even a small project. But it feels sooooo good when it is done and I can see the fruits of my labor. If you were closer, I'd be at the market with bells on!
ReplyDelete:-) Sue

ReplyDeleteYou're making great progress! thanks for keeping us posted, so that we can drool on your treasures!
