Woodworking Family Life Style: 4

George has loved this dresser for quite some time but alas,

if you love something you must set it free.

It was painted in old white and distressed to give it more age than it actually has.

We had bought both this dresser and a matching desk,

when we moved in together.

The desk was painted and sold long ago, (stop pouting Elinor)

But in the last few months once it was clear it was going to have to find a new home

the dresser became another victim to Chalk Paint.

This dresser has pretty provincial handles and the modern convenience of roller drawers.

You can find the side by side before and after here

There was nothing really nasty about the regnecy table we found a few weeks back,

so no before photo was taken.

I did have to glue and clamp some parts of the base that had loosened over time,

and replace some of the nails holding the decorative metal claw feet in place.

The table top was almost void of the original finish so hand sanding just took time.

I restained the top and both pedestals with my new favorite stain, Varathanes KONA.

This color called KONA is so rich and dark looking I cant get enough of it.

Several coats of wipe on poly were applied before a final waxing to soften the feel.

AND FINALLY ....

I thought I would share a pic of some crazy little worker bees I had visit me yesterday.

The workshop we had here yesterday was soooo much fun and the diversity of ladies made

conversation amazing.

I know everyone wants to see what they worked on and hear them dish all about me

but I have to get some things finished and sort out pics first.

SO STAY TUNED ...
