A friend is moving into a new home and decided she didn't need or want a
few things. Knowing that I'm a
junk collector thrifty kinda girl she passed it
along to me!
Well here's what I did with this piece.....
Adding this to

Looks great Sherry! Love the paint color and the stencil. Very Nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brandi. I told you I fell inlove with that Silver Fox! I might be giving it back to my friend for her new home though, she really likes it.

ReplyDeleteHello Typhanie, I used a stencil that I got at Hobby Lobby. Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
ReplyDeleteLove FREE! So pretty. I am dying to redo our master BR in light blues w/ white furniture!
ReplyDeleteJennifer there's nothing quite like free items (junk to someone else) to make into a treasure! I say go for it, do that master br!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!You certainly transformed this piece into something fun and funky and useable! Thanks for joining my newbie party.
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation - well done! Found you via the newbie party, look forward to reading your blog :o) Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie, most of all for hosting a party for Newbie like me to meet others.
ReplyDeleteScarlett, thank you, I also made my way to you by way of Debbie. Love the bowls most of all.
ReplyDeleteGood job,it doesn't even look like the same piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mississippi Artist, and thanks for becoming a follower as well!
ReplyDeletevery nice!! Any tricks to painting this? Have one similar that I'd love to spruce up!
ReplyDeleteHello Julie! Thanks for stopping by. No trick at all, I simply sanded it down, took the back off and prime both pieces with Kilz. I used Valspar's paint. The stencil came from Hobby Lobby. It's reusable and pretty easy to use. To keep it from sliding I used a permanent spray adhesive, letting it get tacky for about 5 mins before attaching it to the back board. Hope that helps, I'd love to see your piece once it done!
ReplyDeleteLove that blue!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I found you through Better After.
ReplyDeleteI am gonna need some more info on the stencil pattern. I am in the market for some open bookcases and a way to decorate them.
Hello Irene, Sorry I'm so late with this. If I'm not mistaken I bought that particular stencil at Hobby Lobby.
ReplyDeleteI think I have two of these EXACT bookcases that I desperately want to redo. (Ours were free when the in-laws moved cross country) Mine are particle board with the wood looking laminate. Is that what yours were? Did the KILZ adhere? I wasn't sure paint would stay on the laminate.
