I have been so excited about writing this post. Evie, of Post College Working Girl, is always re-doing furniture and nicknacks, making them look better and more modern than before. So when my flatmate Andy found this piece of furniture, I just had to get it.
Right away I saw it's potential, so I went to work. I've never done something like this before, and through this project I've gotten to know the gentlemen at my local hardware store pretty well. I think they think I'm nuts. But look at the outcome! A little bit of stain, a little bit of varnish, and it's a whole new piece of furniture!
Now the stain looks darker in these pictures than it actually is. It's a cherry wood coloured stain, to bring out it's sophisticated antiqueness. This is going to serve as my workspace, and I can't wait to decorate it. And, you know, maybe get a chair.
Oh my goodness, it looks amazing, sweetie!!! You did such a great job! Love:) Happy Wednesday morning. muah
