Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the encouragement. Especially from my fellow crafters!

Haven't posted in a long while, but wanted to share this project. Found the chair at an antiques store for $30, solid wood. My husband built the table. Finished two weeks early - happy about that! Thanks for looking!

I just noticed the price here: http://rusticescentuals.com/Golden-Brands-464-Container-Soy-Wax.html Has anyone seen the 464 at this price anywhere else?

The 464 is $14.95 at LoneStar: http://www.lonestarcandlesupply.com/products/candlewax_golden-brands-464-enhanced-soy-container-wax.html

Brandied Pear and Apples and Maple Bourbon are my favorites.

http://www.communitycandlesupply.com/products.php?cat=Container+Lids has them

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!!!

Does anyone know where I can get black lids for 8 and 16oz salsa jars? I used to, a long time ago, get them from Makes Scents Candles, but they don't carry them anymore.

Thanks!

Wonderful work!!!!! Too cute!!!!

Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice! I love older furniture. They don't make furniture like that anymore. My husband keeps nagging me to get rid of our bedroom set and I refuse. It is old as dirt and grey with black details--but I love the curves in it and the design! Gorgeous! You did such a great job repurposing that old furniture, it has new life now.

Isn't that the truth of it! I've wanted to buy new bedroom furniture, but like you said, they just don't make furniture like they used to.

I was given an old desk that I painted a high lacquer black and attached ornate, gold drawer pulls. Love it! The new stuff doesn't interest me as much as what I can do with something old!

There is an upscale place out her in NY that had a little mail table painted like that and they wanted $400.00 for it. I'd say you did very well.

I go out there a few times a year, I could print those out and give the owner your info if you wanted.

Thanks! I appreciate you thinking I could sell that piece in an upscale store. When my daughter had her boutique we wanted to keep the furniture moving, but it is very hard to find good solid wood. The sewing cabinet belonged to my husband's mother, so even though I re-purposed it, I wouldn't let it go.

Thanks everyone. I've been so busy, I forgot I posted my pictures here. LOL!

Just received a couple of little wooden chairs, leftovers from a church. I'm going to re-do them for my grandson. Excited to get started!

I love it.

Thanks!

You should send that in to HGTV... Love your vision, I might be able to copy but the creative gene isn't in me. Great job Great look

Thanks! I thought about it, just because they like to see "before and after" projects.

How cute!!!!! Great work!!

Meri, you always do such a wonderful job on refinishing furniture. You are so creative. Great job!!

Thanks, Elaine. I think I need to work on my photography next! LOL!

Is it possible to have a photo showing the whole room together?

Got a bargain on the curtains as well.

Did you free hand the prints or use a stencil?

The layout of the room makes it impossible to get the whole thing in one shot. I bought three sets of curtains and decided on the suede. I was afraid I wouldn't like the room to be dark, but the walls are light and so it's not too bad. I'm looking for a valance that matches so I can keep the panels open. Haven't had any luck. I'll probably have to run by the fabric store and make my own.

I did use some stenciling, but I had to smooth and join some of the prints to make it work. I knew this project would take some time and so I opted for stencils being that I wasn't going to sell the pieces.

Not exactly my style but I like them. I LOVE the headboard! Nice job!

Thanks! I had a wild hair - for sure! LOL!

Wow, you've totally remade your bedroom! What a lot of creativity to bring it all together. I bet your husband thinks you are pretty crafty. Good job. Beth

Thanks, Lightning Bug. He does think I'm crafty. Only problem - He is color blind, so he doesn't get real excited about stuff like this. LOL! As long as I'm saving money, he's good!

Wow very different. You obviously took a lot of time to do all of that painting. Makes for a very interesting and unique bedroom suite.

Love the shade of your curtains.

Thanks, Deena.

Yes, it certainly was some tedious painting, but I knew it was something I would want to keep for a very long time and so I plunged ahead. I toned down the background colors with clear glaze adding in some Burnt Umber. I thought it did well.

The curtains are chocolate suede, which I think brings out the chocolate animal print. I was very happy to find them on sale for $10 per panel!

Thanks again for your kind words!

Just finished these and decided to keep the pieces instead of selling them. Thanks for looking!

Paid $25.00 for this old Broyhill dresser.

Paid $25 for this headboard as a clearance item at Walmart. I've always hated it, but figured I could, eventually, do something with it.

This sewing cabinet was given to me by my FIL. I always thought it looked more like a secretary.

Couldn't find a lamp shade, so I made this one.

Husband made the bench and I added the zebra print to pull it together.

I love Lavender from CS! I couldn't find any customers that even like Lavender at all! Now I pour a little of the FO on an old wash cloth and stick it among my linens. They smell so good!

They are so soft and beautiful, grama!!!!!!!!! Love them!!!!

WOW, didn't you do a great job!!!!!

Great work!!!!!

Very pretty!!!!

Well, those are way cool!!!
