SO GIDDY!!!

K, so I didn't post yesterday 'cuz I was playing with my new junk stuff!!!

And I'm ready to show off!!!!

(a little)

I spend most of my free time yesterday......spraypainting. I forgot to take pics of my hands, but they were three different colors :0)

So, here goes......

I took this:

Eeeeewwww!!

And turned it into this:

Isn't it so purdy??!!!

It turned out wwaaayyyyyy better than I visualized.

K, here are more pics!!

From the top......still lovin' it!

Closeup of the hardware spray painted a brushed nickle color.

I discovered this new spray paint, and I LOVE IT!!!

It's also great for spraying the tops of your up-cycled jars to make them look nicer.

K,.....another top shot., can't get enough!!

Love that paper too!!! I thought Beth's looked so cute with paper in the windows of hers, so I decided to get rid of that old-fashoined etched glass and put in some cccaaauuuuuttteee paper instead.

So, what I did was:

First, took the thing apart!! I took the hinges (and door)off, the handle off, the drawers out, and even the magnet out. Then, I had to pull the @#$*@%&!@%!!! faux velvet lining out!!! It was old and yucky and had to GO!

Then, I sanded the whole thing down a little so the new paint would stick well.

After that, I sprayed the heck out of it til I was happy with the white and couldn't see the dark brown underneath.

But,

It didn't look right just yet, so I took the sandpaper to it again....very scared that I would have to paint again.

But after taking a step back to get a good look.....I LOVED IT!!

I gave it a quick spray of clear matte finish to keep it safe.

It has a cute "shabby chic" look to it, and it will go great in my craft room to keep cute little things in :)

Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!

Have fun and stay tuned for Freecycle Friday tomorrow!
