Before & After Waterfall Dresser into a Book Shelf

Found this old Waterfall Dresser sitting outside at a thrift store, and by the looks of it, it had been their a long time. It had severe water damage and was ready for the scrap heap. I purchased the dresser thinking the handles would be worth the purchase price. When I got it back to the shop at You Never Know. I started taking it apart, at first I was just going to take the hardware off and scrap the rest but it was suggested the drawers were in good shape also. Three of them were in great shape just need sanding the 4th one had really bad water damage.

I was going to make little drawer baskets out of them but thought about a bookshelf.
I am happy with the results.

I love to Re purpose old Furniture and make it useful again. I used the Miss Lillian's Chock Paint Colors of Irish Cream and Mayan Turquoise and sealed it with General Finishes High Performance Top Coat Satin Finish.

Heavy Distressed Coffee Table

Was able to do my First Coffee Table Repurposing Project. Wanted the Boards to look worn and Rustic but with a White Cottage Feel. Was Very Happy with how this Table Turned out.

Finished Coffee Table

Project Highlights.

Painted the Wood Coffee Table in Off White in Reclaim Paint Brand.

Then Taped off the Center Boards and used Dixie Bell Paint Peacock Color mixed with Dixie Bell Paint Canvas Color. Used different amounts to get different shades of the peacock color.

Used a Power Sander to Heavily Distress the Painted Center Boards. Wanted the Worn Look.

Added the Country Living Toner to the center boards to darken the wood.

Finished Coffee Table. It has a Beach cottage Feel and look. You can Find this table at You Never Know Store in Clarksville Tennessee

Designing with Fonts and Free Word Art

A font can make or break a design. I prefer the use of rustic retro fonts combined with a pretty script font. These combinations insure a great design. Below are a few of my favorite fonts that I have used in my designs and also a couple I am wanting to purchase.
