~Whatch Working on Wednesday~

This is what I've been working on...it seemed like it took all day too. LOL I like how it turned out. I painted it this morning and let it dry then distressed it but since it was such a wet, dreary day I didn't want to use the walnut stain so I went to the Dollar General and got some Kiwi brown shoe polish, I think it's neat for small projects like this but not for bigger ones anyway it came out neat and was dry right away it seemed.

I don't know where this is going to end up in my home but I was just glad to get it done! I did paint the white knob, just until I find the same size wooden one to go on there.



Here is a close up:

I know I'm late for WWW but I had to get some things done around here first before I posted on here. I also started something else but just couldn't get it finished in time.


I'd like to say a prim hi to my new friends who have joined me on my blog, thanks so much for coming along with me I so appreciate it:)

Work is fun and I'll be getting more hours as the holidays approach and more on payday which will help for Christmas:)

If you want to see who else did WWW go to Leslie's My Country Home it's alway so neat to see what everyone is doing:)

  5. Hi Rondell! Thanks so much for the sweet comments you leave on my blog :) I just love your new little candle shelf- you did a great job with it! I'm sorry I don't leave a lot of comments for you- I try! I really do! I'm surprised that I am able to today b/c for some reason, when the comment section on blogs is not a pop-up, I can't not get it to recognize that I am signed in. I have tried several times to comment on your last posts- just don't want for you to think that I'm not reading- I am! lol Can't wait to see what else you've been up to :)

  8. Great makeover (but everything you do is great)! Never heard of using shoe polish, but what a wonderful idea. Does it seem weird to be working again, nice to have the money though. Bet you'll be BUSY throughout the holidays! Have a great day, Dawn

  11. It looks great! I did not know about shoe polish but now it makes sense. I bet it does dry better on humid days. I am so glad I read this post! ♥
