LIKE A VIRGIN


LIKE A VIRGIN -  YES THIS IS THE FIRST PIECE
I HAVE EVER PAINTED WHITE. SO IN HONOR OF
THAT I DUB THIS PIECE OF FURNITURE
MADONNA
I PAINTED HER WHITE AND DISTRESSED HER
AND STAINED THE TOP, WHICH I HAD TO SCRAPE OFF THE LAMINATE WHICH COVERED THE WOOD TO DO SO. I LOVE HOW MADONNA TURNED OUT. THE FRONT SECTION I MADE IT LOOK A 
LITTLE BIT LIKE A WHITE WASHING EFFECT BUT
ONLY ON THE CENTER. AND THE KNOB, IT
DIDN'T HAVE ONE SO I USED AN OLD ANTIQUE
PULL WHICH I FOUND ANTIQUING ONE DAY.
IT WAS WEIRD, I DID'T HAVE ANY INTENTION
OF PAINTING IT WHITE BUT SHE KINDA PICKED
HER OWN COLOR AS WHEN I PANTED THE PRIMER IT
JUST LOOKED LIKE SHE WANTED TO BE WHITE.
THIS WILL BE MY FIRST OFFICIAL PIECE I'M
SELLING. I DON'T WANT TO BUT I HAVE NO
MORE ROOM AT THE INN. LOL!

HERE IS MADONNA BEFORE SHE WAS FAMOUS..


AND THE NEW INFAMOUS MADONNA...
WARNING- I TOOK ALOT OF PICTURES








THE INSIDE HAD TO SHOW YA!




HOPE YOU LIKE MY FIRST!!!

    Oh yes!! I love Madonna!! She's gorgeous! How in the world did you keep the wood color from seeping through your white? I'm working on a piece right now that I want to paint white and the wood keeps bleeding through! Anyways, I adore it! Love the staging too!

    Lovely! I really enjoy redoing small tables with a white base and black stained wood...so elegant! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog...and YES...invest in a Silhouette...you won't be sorry! Several decor blogs are sponsoring 25% off promotions right now, but they all end tomorrow, so think fast! (lol) Good luck!

    Beautiful job! Madonna was certainly made to be painted white. It might be your first, but I doubt it's your last.
