From Trash To Family Heirloom

This piece has been a challenge ..but in the end it was worth it..starting out in one direction and ending with something breathtaking..

It all started with bleed through..which changed everything...after taking the piece down to bare wood and removing some things that had been added over the years I fell in love with what was underneath..

so I decided to keep it light..

I stained the top "summer Oak"

painted the base old white.. added  2 graphics...a French letter..and a lovely crown..

distressed ,waxed and aged her.. gave her a little extra bling with new knobs.. and I must say I am in love...she will be at the Lucketts holiday market on Nov. 8-10...
