Okay, so it's not actually by his bed yet. But believe me you, when it gets there, you'd better watch out!
It won't just knock your socks off, it will darn the holes in the toes.
Again, no before picture, but just imagine it medium brownish and boring.
Until I got my paws on it!
It's funny because this is actually, despite what I said before, the very first piece I did. And I, in my naivete, thought that a 3 pack of brushes from the dollar store would do the trick for paint application.
Turns out you actually get what you pay for when it comes to brushes.
As you can see in the photo below, the nightstand is what one might call very "textured'. Though i don't attribute this to just the sub-standard brushes. I must give partial credit to the half used gallon of primer I got from some one on Freecycle. Let's just say, it was "aged" to difficult to manage thickness.
But regardless, I actually like the texture. If any one asks, I did it on purpose. I even kept the matured primer in case I feel the need to schmear in the future.
The table reminds me of blue jeans.
I have yet to line the drawer, but I will when I get off my ass some pretty paper.
I promise to start photographing the entire process instead of just the gorgeous end result. I'm assuming that I'm not the only on who loves before/after photos.
