MID-CENTURY MADNESS




THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE
GUESSED YEARS LATER THAT
WE WOULD BE REDOING THEIR
FURNITURE. BUT WE ARE AND
LOVIN IT!

THIS IS THE PIECE I PICKED UP
FOR $15, WELL I ACTUALLY GOT
2 PIECES THIS AND A LONG
6 DRAWER CHEST FOR $30 FOR
BOTH! CAN'T BEAT THOSE PRICES.

 BEFORE...


AFTER...

I USED A PRODUCT THAT I HAD
NEVER USED BEFORE- GENERAL
FINISHES STAIN GEL IN JAVA- JAVA
GEL... AND ALSO USED THEIR
SATIN GEL TOPCOAT. I REALLY LIKE
THE PRODUCT , IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE
AND I COULD ONLY GET ON LINE 
EVEN THOUGH THEIR ARE A 
FEW PLACES THAT YOU MIGHT
 BE ABLE TO GET IF YOUR LUCKY TO LIVE NEAR ONE.



I HAVEN'T POSTED IN A WHILE

FEW THINGS... HOPE TO GET THEM

PALLET HEAVEN !!!!



HEAVEN I'M IN HEAVEN AND
MY HEART BEATS SO THAT I
CAN BARELY SPEAK...

I NEEDED A TABLE FOR MY 
DECK AND WASN'T SEEING 
ANYTHING I LIKED SO I DECIDED
TO GO WITH A HIGH COFFEE
TABLE. I HAPPENED TO COME
ACROSS A PALLET CRATE THAT
WAS BEHIND A TILE STORE. JUST
SITTING THERE WAITING FOR ME..
I DECIDED TO CALL THE STORE
AND ASK IF THEY WOULD LET ME
HAVE ONE. AND THEY SAID
YES!!!! I HIT THE JACKPOT!!

SO I BROUGHT IT HOME
AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED
LIKE BEFORE...




AT THIS POINT I HAD ALREADY
CUT A GOOD 12 INCHES OFF ALL
THE WAY AROUND AND I ALSO 
HAD PUT ON WHEELS. WANTED
TO BE ABLE TO PUSH IT TO
THE SIDE IF I WANTED TO.
I BUILT THE TOP OUT OF 2
REGULAR PALLETS AND MADE IT
SO I COULD LIFT OFF THE 
TOP FOR STORAGE.
WITH THE INSIDE BEING SO BIG
I COULD ALSO PUT CANDLES INSIDE
AND HAVE A GLOWING EFFECT 
UNDER THE TOP OF THE TABLE, I
ALSO KEPT ON THE METAL STRAP
THAT WAS ON THE CRATE. LOVED IT!


HERE IT IS AFTER...








I LOVE IT! IT WORKS FOR ME SO GREAT. I DON'T HAVE 
TO WORRY ABOUT COASTERS AS ITS VERY DURABLE AND 
LOVE THE RUSTIC/BEACHY FEEL.

MAD MEN STYLE !!!!






I FINALLY SNAGGED MYSELF ONE OF THESE GORGEOUS MID-CENTURY MODERN PIECES THAT I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO REDO FOREVER!! 

I FOUND IT ON CRAIGSLIST
FROM A MAN WHO ACTUALLY
BUYS UP ESTATE SALE
LEFT-OVERS IN BULK. HE SAID HE
DIDN'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BUY IT
SO HE WAS GIVING IT AWAY 
FOR FREE.

HERE SHE IS WHEN I PICKED
HER UP! BEFORE....

SCRATCHED AND NEGLECTED BUT I NEVER
WOULD HAVE PUT BABY IN THE CORNER LET ALONE GIVE HER AWAY!!




SHE ALSO CAME WITH THIS HUTCH

THAT I WILL BE RE-DOING
AS A SEPARATE PIECE, ADDING LEGS
TO IT AND MAKING IT INTO A BOOKCASE!




SO HERE WE GO. I WANTED TO SAND

IT ALL DOWN AS THE SCRATCHES ON
THE TOP WERE REALLY DEEP.



AND HERE IS THE AFTER

IN ALL HER GLORY...



 I KEPT THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE
AND I SANDED IT DOWN TO 
THE SILVER THAT WAS BELOW THE
PAINT AND THEN BUFFED IT SMOOTH!






NO WONDER MAD MEN WAS SO
POPULAR, IT WAS THE FURNITURE!

LOVE HER AND I AM KEEPING

HER FOR MYSELF!!!
HOPE YOU
LIKE HER AS MUCH AS I DO!
