Sweet Kitchen Work Table

Another successful outcome! This great little work table would be great in a kitchen, screen porch bedroom or even a bathroom. Has a functional drawer and terrific distressed mustard paint color! It began in an unfinished state, mustard paint was applied and then lightly sanded off in places...a cover coat of brown stain was applied, followed by a coat of varnish to protect it. A technique perfected by my husband...and is quite effective in giving the piece an old world look! Available for sale in Fox Lake Country Antiques in Downtown Oconomowoc, priced at $125.00.

Projects: Before and after

This project was to bring an old office typewriter stand back to life! The metal and wood stand took a beating in its past life, but has been given a new coat of paint and is ready to re-enter the work force! Perfect for small spaces, I could see it as a computer table, TV stand, Bedside table or???. Its wheels lock in place for stability. Its metal legs have been spray painted a industrial gray and the wood top and nice contrasting black. Will be available for sale for $45.00 at the Antiques on Second Street Mall located on 2nd and Washington in Milwaukee.

More Before and After Photos

The progress on making room in the garage continues...September was a busy month and the weather has been cooperating in October. Many pieces of furniture have been repurposed and are ready to go to a new home...This wonderful Mother Hubbard Cupboard came to us with lots of age and paint coats. Its top color was a dirty white; it was missing some hardware and was a bit wobbly. Handyman Steve tightened up loose joints and added a new finish, done in several treatments. It will be available for sale at my new space in the Fox Lake Country Antique Mall, priced at $425.00. Contact me for more details!
