This piece was love at first sight. Crazy orange color and all! I got it at an auction and practically had to fight someone for it, but I was the lucky one to go home with it...
Here is my first encounter with paint stripper. It’s wicked stuff! And to my discovery there was a horribly ugly avocado green underneath all that orange. In total I spent about 4 hours stripping all that paint off. It was tedious, but nice to learn all the how-to’s of paint stripping.
Here is the after. This is definitely my favorite piece so far : ) I really like using a shabby white color because it works with everything and is always classic.
I LOVE changing out hardware on furniture. It’s a great inexpensive way to give something a whole new look! I get most of my knobs from Hobby Lobby.
















Where do you find your new hardware? I've been wanting to switch out the handles on the girls' dresser, which has been around since my dad, and I can't find any the right size. :(
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place to get hardware is Hobby Lobby. They also always have a coupon for at least 40% off. Home Depot and Lowe's also have hardware, but they're simple and basic. If you want fun and original knobs check out Hobby Lobby : )
ReplyDeleteI've checked Lowe's and Home Depot. I never even thought of Hobby Lobby. Thanks!
