Before and After Projects

I enjoy seeing before and after pictures of projects and sharing my own.  I have posted quite a few on my blog and here are a few recent projects of mine. 

I recently received this well-loved and well-used, but very sturdy child's rocking chair from a family member.  The paint was worn and since white gets dirty easily (especially with kids), I thought I'd try something else.




I had just bought this pale chartreuse green color and wanted to try it on something.  A great, gender-neutral color for kids, I decided to use it on this chair.  I love how it turned out and decided to keep it for my daughter's room.  




Previously, she had this white wicker rocker which had seen better days.  I don't have a before shot of this one, but this is how it looks now, after a new coat of paint.  I am selling this one locally.




Another piece I am selling locally, but don't have a before shot of, is this vintage telephone gossip bench that I painted black.  It took a lot of sanding, but was well worth it in the end.  I wish I had a place for it because I would keep it!




The last one is a smaller piece which I am selling in my online shopIt started out as raw wood with a couple of spots on it.  




This shelf was screaming at me to be pink with that cute heart-shaped flower cut-out.  So pink it is!




I am constantly working on new projects, so keep checking back for more Before and After posts.

  2. That's a lovely green on the child's rocker. I don't envy you on the sanding on the gossip bench but it looks great.
