Looksie at my little furniture project I did 4 Attachment(s) I'm not very good at this stuff, but I'm tryin'! I've had this raw wood thingy from Ikea for...oh....let's see, um...about 7 years...? And it's just been raw and and eyesore-ish. I finally painted it, distressed it a bit, and added some metal file thingies. It's not great, but maybe presentable? Does anyone else muck around w/ furniture projects? {sorry the pics aren't great, but I didn't have the best light} |
I love it!! |
This is a terrific job Ann!!!! I love it! I bought a Rubbermaid plastic file cabinet....it was grey in color....I got some black spray paint, and some hi-gloss reddish brown spray paint (these were especially for plastic stuff)....I spray painted a black strip from top to bottom, then immediately over it, I sprayed the mahogany colored brown, then while stuff was still wet, I drug one of those things that look like wood grain through it....It came out looking like wood grain mahogany (I think that is spelled wrong!)and I did the entire grey plastic cabinet...it looks like a mahogany cabinet and I store my dog beds/bedding in it......it came out great for me, and since I am not really artsey/craftsey, it was a HUGE task for me and I am thrilled with it. |
that looks awesome!! great job. |
That looks great, Ann:D Like an antique file cabinet at some fancy lawyer's office or something, love it!!!! |
I love this! I also buy all my dressers naked. I love to sand, varnish, paint, polish it myself. :D You did an awesome job. :) |
Wow! Great job! |
Really looks nice. You Re clever and handy:D |
Great job, they look really nice. |
That looks great Ann!! |
Nice!! hugs, |
Fantastic job, Ann! I love it! |
That looks great! I love it. That inspires me. Now that my kids are gone, I am in the process of redecorating a bedroom. I am doing the distressed/vintage look. I purchased a painted antique dresser to redo and "distress." Well, I got all the old gross brown paint off, but now I'm afraid I will mess it up when I paint it so it's been sitting here ready for me to do something for 4 months now. I want to paint the bottom (three drawers) white and stain the top it's natural wood color, which I think is walnut. Did you spray paint or brush it on? |
:thumbup: I like how you distressed it! It looks great! I tried to stain an old end table one time and it looked like it got caught in a house fire. :eek: I have not tried anything since then. Maybe I will in the future but only with furniture that I will not care if I ruin. LOL! |
I'm not a fan of Ikea's modern look stuff....but I love what you did with this...so classic. And look at how straight & even your metal file thingies are! Great work! |
