Oooh how I love this turn out!!!

I found this curio coffee table on CL. It was cheap and the money was going to a good cause. The family has adopted 3 Ethiopian boys that live in orphanages. They could not bring them to the US, because they were teens. So they provide them with books, food, clothes and donate to the whole town. Last time they flew 250 lbs of supplies with them on their visit.

Anyway they were selling stuff and getting donations of stuff to sell to afford another trip, and this adorable coffee table was one of them.

The Before...

It was a light to medium stain and had a hunter green velvet liner in the drawer and the whole inside of the drawer was painted hunter green, YUCK!

I seriously can not stand hunter green. It is about the only color in the world I truly despise. I have no idea why, I was on the Hunter Green & Cranberry bandwagon 15 yrs ago like everyone else.

One day I just hated it. I even would pass up a good deal on a car if it were hunter green.

Get Ready!!!

Here is the after...

Master Bedroom Nightstands

Remember a while ago I said I had purchased these beautiful nightstands/end tables from Homemade Home

There are so beautiful, very detailed and were such a great deal!!!

I finally got around to staining them cherry to match my sleigh bed & armoire.

Here are the before pics...

You can see around all the detail was a greyish glaze, the stain was a medium brown w/ orange tones.

End Table

After taking a few weeks off, I finally got a lot of projects completed over the weekend.

First up is the end table for my guest room. I got it for $10 (from the dog lady). It had scratches all over it, lots of wood filler was used :)

Here are the before pics...

And here is the after...

 The bottom shelf is a dust collector, it was windy here yesterday and no matter how much I cleaned it, 2 seconds later it was dirty again

Haha, the one disadvantage to living in the Valley of the Sun, you can't get a good pic of something black with it always being sunny ;)
