Re-purposed TV Stand

One of my most recent projects has been a re-purposed tv stand.  I tried painting a little more modern version of Jacobean flowers on the top and front panels.  The piece has been sanded, waxed, and buffed to give it that satin feel to the touch.  I added storage boxes where the VCR once would have been housed and replaced the old dark brass handles with glass knobs.

I am currently working on three pieces, but this is the first one to be carried out to the front porch for photos.  Unfortunately, homes built a hundred years ago don't make for the best photo ops inside! I used a turquoise and old white watered down washes on the piece.  I used vintage sheet music to collage the back and inside of the piece.  Legs were added to give height and character.

I have been very busy working on some painted pieces for summer farmer's markets.  Pictures will be posted soon.  I hope everyone loves hues of blues as much as I do!  I can't sing enough praises for Annie Sloan wax and Webster's Chalk Paint Powder.  Love the Annie Sloan Paints but sometimes you want different color choices, Webster's is a great choice!
