Painted Stripes

I have continued repairing and repurposing items from my various storage areas (and there are many areas).

       First up is a shabby chic kitchen chair.

The chair got a very good scrubbing and then a second scrubbing with a sanding block to remove the stains that wouldn't wash off. Some glue and clamps were also involved. Great age crackle and wear.

Diesel, visiting granddog was hoping for some food hence the photo bomb along with the clamps.

Since I LOVE stripes the chair also 'got' stripes. One coat of Polycrylic on the seat. Back in service, but for someone else. I still have ahem at least 10 more chairs that need to be repaired/repurposed.

Then there is the ex-toy tool holder hinged lidded box. The contents were long gone and so were the inside 'holders'. Looked not so great. 

Cleaned, scraped, used some wood filler where needed. Sanded inside (and outside). Painted with CeCeCaldwell Simply White. Added the stripes. Off to a new home as well.

Other striped projects here: chair, tote, box, canvas sacks.

I am seeing a change in my post contents, blending a life style blogger with my life as a reseller in a collectibles mall. I have kept the two separate for the most part (at least in posts) over the years I have been blogging.

I don't sell anything from my blog so when I write about items I am planning to resell I am just sharing what I am going to do with my project in hand.

Thanks for visiting. 

Keeping John and Judy 
in my thoughts and prayers today.

See you again on January 27th at 7:00 am
