Cross that one off the list!

Earlier this week I shared my "to do" list 

that was long and not completed....

and I am so glad to hear I am not the only one

who never finishes them!!


However...we DO love our lists don't we ladies!! lol


I am happy to say that I finally DID finish the list...finally!

(but a new one has already started for next week!!)

Anyways, this is the china cabinet/hutch that I have been working on this week


After cleaning it, sanding, and priming it...

I painted it a lovely robin's egg blue,

added the little wood scrolly thing,

and also added wood bead board to the back,

(the old backing was disgusting!)

...and then distressed it,

and gave it 2 coats of Poly!!

TA-DA!!


Isn't she lovely???

I will have to tell you another time about the cool old flour sacks

I came upon last week. If anyone wants one, 

let me know and I may add them to my etsy shoppe.


Ok....I am sharing this here:










Blessings, 
Karen

  4. I have a blue hutch and truly, truly believe that any hutch of any size will look better if it's blue. Yours is a beauty. Great job. Hope you will have time to come take our tour of the Architectural Digest Home Design show. -- Jane F.
