How many of us love our pretty glass knobs? Put up your hand!
How many of us hate the metal post that sticking out the back? Put up your hand!
We like to put pretty knobs on pretty furniture,
and we like to put our pretty things into the
drawers and cupboards of our pretty furniture.
Sometimes our pretty things get caught on these
not so pretty protruding posts and cause damage to our pretty things.
This post is dedicated to saving all your pretty things!
One of the last things I do after installing glass knobs on furniture
is to cut the posts off and I thought you may like to learn how I do it.
There are 3 tools I use for this job.
A pair of pliers
to tighten the nut on the post.
A set of mini bolt cutters
to easily cut off the post.
A metal rasp or file
to smooth the edges of the metal.
You have now protected all your pretty things.
You should be able to find a version of these 3 tools at your local home improvement store.
AND
tomorrow Ill have this project to share with you ...

I really enjoy doing balloon back chairs.
Not because they are easy to work on but because I love the shape so much.
They are also great small space chairs, light weight yet solidly built,
once revamped they can be used in many rooms of your home.
They can be use at a desk in your daughter`s room, and even at your office desk.
George uses a balloon back chair at his desk.
They are the perfect vanity chair, or extra seating when entertaining,
How about in the bathroom with some folded towels sitting upon the seat?
Let`s not stop there ....
In the front entry to drop your coat and bag on,
and of course they fit nicely as a bedroom chair to throw extra pillows or a robe on.
I primed and painted this one in my signature white semi gloss paint.
Then upholstered in a black velvet material with a damask 2 tone design.
It`s also trimmed with bright white cording.Sharing with:

Sitting all alone at a church sale I couldnt resist this little table,
with its arborite top and glossy thick paint cover up.
I started by scrapping and peeling all the white paint and dirt off.
Thats when I found the original pale yellow paint underneath.
I removed the arborite and belt sanded the top smooth,
then moved to the body sanding every inch of the soft yellow paint,
before adding a stain wash.
The entire table got a coat of walnut gel stain before it was polish back.
See how the yellow and the wood stand out now.
Its finished with wipe on poly and wax.
