And you have a talent in that patina.
Hope life is sweet to you.

Great idea

Uh, although I absolutely don’t get the patina for this very purpose, undoubtedly you master it.

Thanks you guys. Soda- I guess the finish is a matter of taste. What is really selling right now- at least south of the Mason-Dixon line is “French Country” and “Shabby Chic” And that means distressed paint with a stain over finish. I don’t personally decorate my own home with this a lot of this type of stuff- however I do make every attempt to give the ladies what they want and to the best of my ability sell the hell out of it God willing. :)

The colors are just amazing on these. I’m with everyone else – you have this process down pat.

You do such cool projects!

Oh Sheila, sometimes I just don’t know. It’s hard to sell this stuff in Pittsburgh- land of black black and more black. (And unemployment) I wish I lived in the south, then I could make some money. I do sell and trade online, and I have been able to save over 5,000 on my daughter’s upcoming wedding making and trading my stuff for the other stuff that I need for her wedding. I have also been trading for Christmas gifts- the last thing my family wants at Christmas is more of my “wood crafts” LOL

I like the black and white ones and the idea of all this trading you have going on. Sounds like a nice deal.

I really like these and the other projects. You are giving me ideas and also teaching me more about the distressed finishes. I’m learning more about that as I also work in a similar fashion with recycled lumber. I have a few projects posted but not nearly as many as you! Thanks!

JT- I would love to see your work! I have a tutorial on facebook on how to do the finishes and I think maybe I should carve out some time and post it on here. It’s easy enough to do. Just takes a little practice. :)

Thanks Arlin. Sometimes I can get some work accomplished, other times I feel like I am sinking in quick sand. :0 I have had these ones done for a little while, I just didn’t get them posted until today. I hesitate to post projects that aren’t really “built” by me from scratch, and also I try not to post too much “girlie” stuff on this site. It sometimes makes the natives restless :)

I think that is the best thing is the “girlie stuff” I gives us husbands a chance to see what we can make the ones we love. The world would not be as good as it is without the “girlie stuff”.
