This little gal was a sad sorry sight. She had blue contact paper all over her, and just didn't look quite right.
My helpers pulled the paper off and with it came some paint. Oh well. We love that.
Interestingly, and of course, I failed to take a picture....on each side of the bookshelf was a transfer of a civil war hero.
Sadly I couldn't find a picture that was similar on-line. But, you know the one. Red, white and blue soldier, with his fancy outfit and a gun.
I am loving the way this turned out. I sanded it down a ton, and it added just the right amount of old that it needed.
Love.
Wow! great job! love the way it turned out!

This is my favorite piece you've done I think. Really love how you went alittle crazy with the sander.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing more and more things crossed off your list! Can you PLEASE move back now? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Tell me again about the e-mail reply thing. I think I'm missing something here. I can be dense sometimes.
