Something New!

I found this gem at a local estate sale and was lucky enough to purchase it before the person next to me did...I tell you, it's moments like those that get my heart beating! Anyway, other than the old paint it was in great condition! Just what I like, little repair work. And this is what I ended up doing to give it a new look. Like? I painted the body a satin black and then using a couple of different colors and some wallpaper came up with this painted on look. Yes, it's painted, NOT MOD PODGED. Sorry, I took these pictures in my basement...at night...but anyway you get the idea.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention that I ended up distressing it just a bit as well. I am liking how it turned out and will be taking it with me to a local craft fair coming up at the end of October.

P.S. Because of the fair...and the fact that I am no longer throwing up ;), I will be having several new pieces to show you during the next few weeks so stay tuned!
