~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Hi Friends,
What a cold, rainy day ... I picked Samantha up at preschool and had a sweatshirt on but really should have had a coat too, I was froze, I do not like this type of weather at all, although I do like to wear my boots and jeans. LOL

Well, this is what I've been working on, the little cabinet/cupboard that I bought at a craft show. Yep, I painted it black, distressed it and applied the brown shoe polish, I was going to use the walnut stain but it's to cold for me in the garage and it wouldn't have been dry enough to post today so I went the shoe polish route!
I love it alot better black and looks great in my bedroom with the crocks on top!

Here's another pic of it, the larger crock I won on a forum and the smaller one I had bought at The Country Store.
I even applied the shoe polish to the tin and it sure made a difference, made it look alot more aged then it was.

This is what it looked like before I started...black paint, isn't it wonderful:)


I had redid this find from that consignment shop across from my hairdressers and finally got it hung beside the black shelf above my couch...love it!



I was just sitting here thinking...the shelf cost me $8.00 and the wood pineapple $2.00 ( that I painted) total...$10.00 for both, what an inexpensive prim display!!!

  9. You are right! It looks much better black. I would have never thought of putting the polish on the tin! Great idea. I love it in your bedroom. Gotta love a bargain, huh?

  10. Your little cupboard turned out wonderful Rondell - I'm surprised that someone from the thrift shop didn't take it before it even got on the floor for sale. Glad you ended up with it.

  13. Hi Rondell...........both the cupboard and the shelf are great re-dos. I love that tin insert in the cupboard.
    That shoe polish is a whole lot cheaper than the BriWax too!

  17. Black did the trick Rondell. It looks great! I use Minwax water based stains and they dry in no time. And for small things, I use the stain from the craft store in the little squirt bottles. That dries even quicker!!

  18. me too me too!! LOL I also love your little black cupboard. I have to agree with you, black paint is wonderful. I have a 70 hutch that i sanded and painted and distressed black. I have enjoyed it much more black than before. I enjoyed seeing your re-do's. Thanks :-) ♥ Mercy
