Ok, the Hutch from Hell still isn't finished, but it is getting closer! It is in the truck and will be in my booth tomorrow. I will be so happy when that is finished. I have never had so many setbacks on a piece.
It truly has me ticked off. I bought new screws for the hardware and was 2 short. Yeah, I can't count.
Then, to add insult to my wounded ego, I needed washers so the screws wouldn't pull through the holes, WHO KNEW?!
My nephew helped me dig through a bin of junk screws and nails for enough washers to get us by.
However, I am looking forward to the next project ~
I started painting the newest dresser I just acquired.
A few months ago, Glidden was giving away free quarts of paint. I got 5!
I called my family and had them each get me a quart.
I love paint and I love free, so what could be better?
The color I used on this chest is Vintage Yellow.
The dresser was primed and painted with 2 coats of paint with one more to go.
The pictures don't show how bright the yellow is. Think sunshine yellow. It was a real shock when I saw it today, since I painted it in the dark warehouse, at night. But I think after a coat of dark wax, it will be great. I have to say, I liked the paint. I'm a Behr paint girl, but I liked the Glidden.
These handles were on the chest when I got it, and I like them.
I think they will go well with the yellow paint. They have a light blue flower in the them.
I should have the finished tomorrow too.
All pictures were taken with my new smart phone too since I forgot my camera. :(
But I think they turned out pretty well.
