Baby its cold outside

The weather here has been unbelievably cold, minus 12 the last couple of days. It has even been to cold to take Maggie for walks, which means Maggie is as bored as I am. So today even though it was still bitterly cold I had to work in the garage before I went stir crazy.

I have been working on a few things in the house but needed to do some sanding, which I can not do in the house. I can not wait for spring, or even some plus zero temps would be nice too. But in the meantime I will have to make do with what it is. COLD

 

I found this rocking chair at the thrift store and knew it would look so good made over

 

 

 

 

And I was right. I painted it with Anne Sloan pure white, my favorite colour

 

 

 

I have seen this fabric on a few other peoples projects and I fell in love with it

I think it looks amazing on this rocking chair

And this chair is so comfy, going to be hard to give it up

 

 

 

 

 

I know some people don't like the waterfall look, but I love them

And they look amazing made over

 

 

 

 

 

 I love how the waterfall dressers look painted

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought this little stool that I had saved in the garage would look great with the water fall desk

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the stool painted with Anne Sloan Paris grey and with new foam and fabric

The fabric is black and white toile and I think it looks stunning on the stool

 

 

And here she is in all of her glory

I do have a mirror that would go with this to make it a vanity

But I am going to sell it as desk and see how it goes

The middle drawer opens as well so that makes it a 5 drawer desk

Now she just needs a loving home

 

Hope your having nicer weather then we are

and that you are not suffering in the cold

I swear the day I get a heated shop I am going to live in it

 

 

Happy Picking Happy Painting

 

hugs
