I Finally Tried It!

For months now,

I have been watching all you talented bloggers as you refinish project after project.

At first I thought, "...there is no way I could do that."

Then after seeing more and more amazing transformations

and

all the tutorials,

my confidence was building.

So, my story begins.

I was out thrifting and ran across this guy.

I thought it had great possibilities and would be a good "starter" project.

I took off the little wooden knobs and couldn't wait to start painting that grillwork!

And those pears...cute, but not in my new plan.

I sanded, primed, sanded again,

had to prime again,

sanded again and finally painted.

I loved the fresh new change

but

wanted to try glazing.

It wasn't too difficult

and

I liked the finished product.

I added a wooden piece on the top section {to replace those pears!}

This wasn't so bad!

So...

I think...

I'm going to tackle a "real" project.

My grandfather's workshop, turned husband's storage...

soon to be...

 my storage buffet!

Can't wait!

Thanks to all you wonderful blogging friends out there in blogland for all the inspiration and tutorials.

You are the best!

Stay tuned for part 2!
