ANOTHER PROJECT FINISHED!

I found this little curio cabinet at GOODWILL awhile ago. Only then, it wasn't white. It was fake dark wood looking. I didn't like it at all. But I thought maybe I could sand it down and paint it. So for $6.00 I bought it.



My sweet sister, Maureen, came over one day and sanded it down for me. Then I painted it. I let it sit outside to dry. That was weeks ago.




Today, I finally finished it. I sanded it smooth and distressed it. Then I put wax on it, let it dry and buffed it out. Now I love it!


I was so pleased with how much nicer it was after I waxed it. The wax just smooths everything out, gives it a nice professional finish and tones down the bright white just a tad.



I have to admit that the buffing gets old real fast though. It got me thinking about doing a bigger piece of furniture like my headboard that has been waiting for months to get done.


I think I'm going to have to get a car buffer as, I think my hand and arm would get way to tired buffing a big piece. I'm hoping someone I know has one I can borrow. Otherwise I'll have to buy one.



For now I've put my salt cellars in the curio cabinet. I don't know how long they will stay in there but until I find something else to put in there I hope the salt cellars enjoy their new home.



So tell me, when you paint your furniture, do you wax and buff it or leave it just painted? Leave me a message and let me know.



Just wanted to remind you, that if you have not signed up for my Christmas in July giveaway, you still have time. Just click on the link to the right of blog to go to the posting.
