Surprise Birthday Gift for a Friend!!

I called this a "MIDNIGHT MIRACLE" because I started this yesterday afternoon for a Birthday Gift TODAY!

Having done this process before & knowing how it was going to turn out I was able to complete all the paint & artwork in just a few hours.  Now I'm waiting for the Top-Coat Varnish to dry for Transport this Afternoon!

I debated about putting the extra time & effort in the polka-dots underneath thinking no one would see them anyway ...until I took this photo from underneath looking UP!

This was an Old Childhood desk.  It now has a new life to be presented today for a Special Surprise Birthday Gift!!
A pretty surprise when drawers are opened with Dotted sides!  My signature distressed Stripe & Polka-Dot Legs!  Metallic Gold Trims the edge of the Table Top!

Decoupaged Drawer Fronts with Vintage Look Paper.  I also went through my Hardware-Morgue & found 2 Matching Antique Pulls that looked great on this piece.

A Light Breeze outside will Hopefully Dry the Varnish Quicker Today!



I found PICMONKEY.COM and am able to create neat collages of my work to post on Facebook and other places I feature my items to sell.  It's easy to use & helps organize many shots & angles of an item in ONE pic rather than having to download several. 

The "EDWARD SCISSORHANDS" Table

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS Table

The old Heavy insides that held the sewing machine were removed.  The solid wood side that flips over as a workstation was retrofitted to be the new top for this Cutie Table.  Fun Knobs were added.  The curved front allows for a chair.. after-all it was a an old sewing table so it was made to sit at!  Add your own mirror for an instant Primp & Make-up station!

Nothing Fancy! So you can see the Pretty Color!
If you had seen this table before, I did change the name from the "Beetlejuice" Table to "EDWARD ScissorHANDS". More fitting, considering it was an old Sewing Table.

Here's a Sneak Peek of some Goodies I'm Making for the Shop!!  I'm Binge-ing on Sign-Making & Painting these past couple days!  I'm having so much fun making these things plus it's so gratifying actually finishing several of them in an afternoon!  Made out of old Fence plus the Handles are made from Wire hangers that I wrapped around my old broom to get a not-so perfect spiral!
