A Few Before Pics, After Pics coming tomorrow!

So, I have been busy getting ready for my debut at booth J11 in the Roadshow Antiques Mall in Barrie! I have a few "before" pics to post and I will post the after pics tomorrow.  In addition to the up-cycled furniture and original photograph canvases, I will also be selling some old crystal pieces.  I also have some antique, retro and vintage dishes, plates and misc. I am hoping to move my merchandise in on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week and I am really excited about it!

So I picked up this poor guy over the winter. Not a very good picture I'm affraid but it's all I've got. Doesn't look too bad in the picture but between then and when I picked it up, all of the knobs were gone, 2 of the handles were broken and one of the drawers was broken as well.  I've spent the past few days patching it up.  I also spent some time researching the handles and knobs from that era to make sure it will still have some of the mid-century character when I am finished with it. It is drying right now so when I am finished with it tomorrow I will post the "after" pics.

So this boring little green stool got a facelift today! I am waiting for the paint to dry and then it is getting a nice comfy seat. The headboard is one of two. I have only painted one and I think I will leave the other for now. Maybe someone will want to order a different colour? The small piece on the bottom actually has legs but they were removed before the picture was taken. It also has glass sliding doors on the front. I will post the "after pictures" for all these tomorrow as well. 

My goal is to make each piece unique. Although I am picking the colours and styles of  finishes I am using for each one, I am hoping they will appeal to other people as well. If at anytime you see a piece on here that you would like to have custom painted or finished please let me know! I also welcome opinions about the colours/finishes I am using, I promise not to be offended by "constructive criticism"! Also, if you are looking for something in particular that I don't have right now, let me know, I may be able to find it for you.
Thanks for allowing me to share my adverture with you and stay tuned for some "after pics" tomorrow!
