I’ve been on a project spree around the house lately. Once a can of paint gets opened, it’s so easy to keep on painting.
I’ve had some things lying around in the garage for awhile and a few curb side finds were picked up.
Like this beauty.
The ‘bird dresser’.
I started painting it this weekend and it’s looking fabulous.
But you’re going to have to wait for those after photos. Hopefully next week.
I got lots of projects to show you!!
***Updated*** Click HERE to see the amazing after photos.
Everyone has seen chairs like this at a rec centre or gymnasium.
I picked these up for a dollar each when I had my junking day with blogger friends in the fall and they’ve been sitting in the garage ever since.
I love that they are stackable. On the weekend I spray painted the legs and this week I’ll paint the wood and perhaps add a stencil.
Most people would barely notice this chair on the side of the road, they would just pass on by.
But I have lots of hope for this 3-legged chair.
I’m going to get two new front legs so they match, paint it and reupholster the cushions.
The other day there was this antique table on the side of the road. The legs were all wobbly so I quickly unscrewed them and pushed it in the back of my car.
By myself.
I was on my way to get groceries so that was a challenge getting groceries in with this table.
But totally worth it.
I finally got a chance to head out to the RH outlet store with my friend Tanya last week.
We could have moved right in.
I’ll leave you with some pretty photos instead of ugly before photos.
Like my two favourite things: crocks & peonies. And my Instagram friends also added: subway tile!
Hope you have a great week!
I have lots of projects to get done.
Can’t wait to see before and afters! Looks like some great projects are coming.
Thanks April, should be fun!!
Hugs, Jamie
Oh, my gosh!!! You have so much potential right in front of you to work on! I can’t wait to see how you transform everything into something fabulous. It would be so fun to have a junkin’ day together!
Thanks Jamie. I know, when they look so awful it just means it will look more awesome when they are done!
Hugs, Jamie
Love the shape and detail of the bird dresser. Looking forward to seeing the transformation.
I’ve been doing a few projects in A.S. old white, then 2 coats of clear wax and bringing out the details in dark wax, then a light sand. Very pleased with the results. Have fun painting!
Thanks Lynne! That bird dresser is all done in a light grey color! I love ASCP in Old White too, gorgeous.
Hugs, Jamie
Oh! Lots of fun projects!!!! I love the old school chairs! I have several (plus some desks) waiting to be transformed! Also, can’t wait to see the after if that bird dresser!
Those chairs are being transformed right now. So fun!
Hugs, Jamie
Where did that bird dresser come from? It’s fantastic! I can’t wait to see what your paintbrush does to it, Jamie!
And I remember those school chairs! I’m sure you’re going to transform them into something amazing!
Curbside find, Tara! I love the transformation. And yes, those chairs were found on a hunt with you. We have to do that again soon. Miss you 😉
Hugs, Jamie
