Furniture!

I've found my passion in life. And it is furniture. Redoing it that is. I have had some fun projects recently:
This coffee table was a goodwill find! I forgot a before but here is the after! I topped it with a clear wax by Annie Sloan and it was awesome! I have to give a big thanks to Kameron for finding this!

I love doing furniture so much I want to start redoing furniture for people. Really anything that can be painted. This Hutch I did for a lady here in Globe and it's going into her store this week for sale! And I get to advertise in it! She is awesome I am so glad to meet her and will most likely be putting a lot of these pieces in her store!           Before:

After:
We went out this weekend looking for some pieces and I found this little desk. It called to me when I saw it so I had to have it, overlooking the fact that it was made of particle board and wasn't as stable as it seemed. But thanks to my awesome hubby this thing is so sturdy and particle board is the new oak! okay maybe not but this is a diamond in the rough for sure! Also going up for sale in "The Furniture Store" here in Globe!       Before:

After:
the handy support built by Kameron! This thing would be in trash if it weren't for him!

While we were in Utah I had this goal of coming home with something new to work on! The goodwill was unsuccessful but as I went out running the first morning I ran past this chair sitting by a trash can. I was like hmm I wonder if I could fix that? I thought about it alllll day and finally convinced myself and with a little support from Caryn "try it for free"! So I loaded it up and went to work. Once again I have Kameron to thank for helping me out deconstructing this chair it is still in the works...

To the right is the "naked chair" it's a work in progress!

And the other picture is the header footer I picked up!! I'm thinking Bench! I really want to try my hand at it...another work in progress...stay tuned!
I also ran into this desk and thought and thought about getting it. It looked so huge! I was afraid, but I built up the determination and I am glad I was so motivated because it needed new runners, paint, knobs, the whole nine yards, But I love it! I think I've already posted this desk but this is most of my collection thus far of projects. A few signs here and there some tables that have new homes and the dresser already in my bedroom.

Holy crap you work fast! I can't believe you did all that already. They are looking really good, I love the red hutch. Let me know if you are motivated enough to redo our kitchen table and chairs doing during labor day weekend ;)
