New Items for my booth

Even though I haven't officially worked all week, I've been busy working on some new items for my booth.  I made a quick successful trip to the Goodwill today and found these wooden candlesticks for a GREAT deal!  I decided to try my first attempt at distressing them and I think they turned out pretty good.

I liked them like this but decided to try something different

Primed and painted

Just used black acrylic craft paint

Wipe off quickly with a slightly damp paper towel

Finished product

 I better get them to my booth quickly or I'll find a place to keep them here.

I started working on this piece last weekend while we were at the cabin.  This was a piece that was in the cabin when we bought it almost 8 years ago.  It has been painted several different times and used for many things.  Not very pretty at all...it was last used as a nighstand in one of the bedrooms.

Before - told you - not pretty

I started trying to sand this and then remembered
that we have a basement full of cedar boards.

Added a cedar top, knocked out those funky doors
and put in a cedar bottom

First coat of red

3 coats of red and polyurethane on top

Finished!! 

New items for my booth

Just got back from my booth to bring in my new items and found out that I have sold 3 things - WooHoo!  Now the party has started!

Here's a few shots of the new additions and a little rearranging.

Have a Happy Weekend and if you are out and about - stop by Booth #0409!
