Projects and Finds....

Hi Bloggerettes! 

Here's a project I'm working on right now.  I got this primitive dry sink/cupboard at the auction, the price was right but the color was awful.  I was in such a hurry to slap white paint on it that I nearly forgot to show you the before.  It's a big painting job but I did manage to snap a photo so you could see the before color...
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwe!  Looks like a giant pumpkin!

Another project is this vanity table.  I'm hoping to finish painting it and maybe add a pretty skirt.
I found this vintage medicine cabinet on rollers with a drawer that opens from either side.  It's kinda odd but cute.  I think it would look great in a laundry room.  It's in my booth waiting for a home.


I also got these vintage tins.  I added some tags and fancied them up a bit.  They sold the next day.


Okay, that's it.  Get out there and create, make, paint, photograph, write, bake, cook, sew, repurpose or find something wonderful and share it with us!

I know you will make that dry sink look much better. Those canisters are cute. No wonder they sold quickly.

Sissie, I like each item you found at the auction. Wish I could get as much completed as you do in a short amount of time. The little table will be cute with a skirt. Someone will be very happy to get it. Shannon
