My next attempt at ingenuity is to take this bleached ashen colored bedside table, and turn it into a sweet little table for a nursery or girls room. This was another furniture piece that we took home from the estate auction.
My first step is to strip off the thick coat of white paint and start the process from scratch.

Here is my ugly lamp refinished...It went through several shades until I found the one that was just right. Now onto bigger and better things!

a simple start
So I must say that the whole creation of this blog, and the creations themselves, are due to aspiring to find my niche; my little cranny of creativity if you will, and to satisfy my hunger to take something timeworn and make it fresh and sensational. I must confess that HGTV has also been my inspiration to design. My husband and I love to attend auctions and have found ample success in bidding and being the proud owners of a beautiful bedroom set. Our latest auction happened to be an estate sale. We ended up returning home with a few beautiful pieces of aged furniture that I have big plans for, but just starting out in my endeavors... I thought I'd begin with this antique lamp. Stay tuned to see the finished innovation.
