I have a room full of projects waiting patiently, waiting for thier transformation. My brain is so full of fun ideas to transform my pieces into something so amazing, I love bringing out the personality and potential in cast aways. On a great day of lucky junkin, comes the hunt, the find, then the transformation. My most favorite thing in the world, is when I find a lonely, unloved piece of furniture, the pieces I usually fall in love with are the pieces way in the corner, hiding, just waiting show the world all of the spirit and potential it still has left to give. First comes the hunt, junkin at flea markets, thrift stores, curb finds, craigslist, neighbors, opportunities are endless, my eyes are always on the hunt for the perfect piece. Then the Find, when I spot something, I will do whatever, to make sure it comes home with me! Once its mine, I turn loose on it, while the ideas are still fresh and ready to take over! Pink, turquoise, blue, green, yellow, or white, on this particular project, Oceans blue won. Transformation begins right away, first I clean it up, take off all doors, hinges, drawer pulls, any nails or screws. Paint is everywhere, paint brushes galore, sanding, distressing, more paint, and a final touch of poly for protection, new hardware, and voila... Transformation is complete!!! Ready to take to the store and add to the rest of my pieces. My most dreaded moment, falling in love, then letting go! Which has become my worst habit so far.
M finished product, Im real proud!! She will be on her way soon to On the Corner, where she will await patiently for her special someone to fall in love!!!
