MISS CHERRY PIE red buffet pt 2

Big Reds sister is completed.

Cherry has nice legs and a brighter glow than her stately brother.

Big Red was waxed and polished from head to toe,

were as Cherry was finished with wipe on poly.

She needed little repairs all over, but we all know

with age comes experience.

Miss Cherry has not traveled too far from home in all her years!

Here is a fresh raw coat of Emperors Silk Chalk Paint on her body.

and the finished coat that topped her off.

Both her doors got magnetic closures.

Her jewelry was pretty but to hang in the pub with all those rough and tumbles

she needed something new to help fit in better.

Shell be catching the eye of many and maybe even a whistle or two.

Cherry will go home to her decorators home for a short stay then she will be off

to her new digs in the Fort Pub.

THE CAPTAIN AND HIS SOLDIERS PT 3 union jack set

Here is the final piece to the Union Jack set.

It started as a fairly simple 80s blond table.

But it did have this great wood graining on the surface

This whole project was a learning process or a feat of trial and error.

Figuring out what would work, what could work, and what just wasnt going to fly.

I first painted the apron and legs in blue

Then decided I wanted it white

The blue and red was kept thin and even distressed to take advantage of the graining.

The entire table was rubbed down with dark wax.

It helped to emphasize the grain ...

richen the red ...

darken the blue ...

and finally to ton down the white to match the color of the drop cloth on the seats

The table also has a leaf that I did in red to create a wider strip down the center when used.

This set will be on display at

THE FAIR TRADE MARKET POP UP

starting November 2nd thru to the end of the month or until it sells.

Many of my piece are being used in the store to display textiles and artisan wears from
