This Old Guy Was Headed To The Dump
by
The Bird's Nest
(IC: homeowner)
Introducing Anthony! This guy’s story is sad but true, he was so badly treated, I wasn’t sure what I could do.
He was nicked up all over and scratched to the hilt, he was missing a wheel, so that made him tilt. But his character showed promise, it might take a bit more, I was up for the challenge, but it sure was a chore.
I sanded and scraped , then did what I could, thank goodness for Magic Mud, it did his guy good.
The painting began with Cranberry Bliss, then Derby was accented, I was really loving this. Ebony Glaze Finish to give that rich look, a lot of work put into this, but I had what it took.
Not perfect I know, but better than before, Kristi Kuehl Pure Home Paint and Finishes helped get this guy to the floor!!!!!

Jody Benge on Feb 06, 2016You did an exceptional job. I like that the fact that it still retains the antique look, with dark colors and stain. Thank you for not painting this piece of furniture white.
