3-Drawer Stripy Dresser

Just finished this cute little 3-drawer dresser. This guy was literally falling apart when I picked it up. I put some serious hours into this one to make it a fully functioning dresser again. I LOVE how it turned out, I love it so much I want to keep it for myself...but I dont think that'll be happening. I cant keep everything I end up loving, which is most everything! The stripes are white and then greyish-blue and distressed through to show the wood. So below is the before and after. This one is not for sale as of now... but if youre dying to have it, contact me and I'll let ya know the price!

Antique Eastlake Parlor Table

I got this antique Eastlake Parlor Table on my trip to Red Deer about a month ago along with a few items that I wanted to refinish. I was torn as to whether or not I was going to refinish this piece...it is a REAL antique, which means that is 100+years old (many people dont know that). And usually, you should not refinish antiques, unless they are in terrible condition and theres just no value in them as an antique.
So I decided to keep this table as is since its in marvelous condition for being from the 1800's. Whoever previously owned this girl did a good job of takin' care of 'er!

Country Chic Hutch

I FINALLY got time to finish this piece so here she is. Im calling it the country-chic hutch because I think it looks so cute and shabby but not quite shabby chic...more country-chic with the chicken wiring and all. Its got two wide drawers at the top and bottom and 2 large shelves inside. Lots of storage room for your kitchen, dining, or living room! Its been painted in antique white and distressed through to its original cornflower blue color. Then glazed and top coated. I added a cornflower blue textured wallpaper to the back of the hutch and the silverware drawer.
