Finally a NEW piece!!

Oh how I HATE really dislike :) Refinishing furniture in the Winter. I have always hated being cold and I pretty much freeze even with my heaters going outside. But, I can not stop doing what I love. I did take off a few months to enjoy the Holidays with my family but I am up and going again. Really itching for Spring.    This turquoise was again a custom color. I just have an idea in my head and unless I modify my own colors I can never make it perfect. I love this refinish. Started off with a  good cleaning and soft sanding to smooth out all the furniture. I removed all the hardware and set it aside to respray.


 After a few simple coats of the paint it already looked amazingly different.

 All of the little detail already popped for me but my favorite parts are yet to come..... Afterwards I distressed with an air sander and glazed with a chocolate brown....
 The knobs were sprayed in a Rustoleum hammered brown......
WAHOOOOLAAAA! Love Love Love. My very first piece years ago was turquoise and I think it will always be my favorite! :))
 






It is so good to be back again. Can't wait for all of the furniture I see in the future. I have so many fun pieces coming up!
