White Furniture

I Must Be Crazy!
Here's a sneak peek at my newly shabby chic'd buffet.
I'm styling the room now....I don't know if I'll show by itself or just wait till the home tour.
But you'll see all next week for sure.
It was so painful to take sandpaper to my newly, perfectly painted, creamy, white furniture.
Oh....and shabby chicing seven pieces of furniture takes like 6 hours 
plus another hour to add a teeny tiny bit of glaze. 
I just wanted a bitty bit in the crevices. 
But I love it now that it's done.
The best part was screwing in these new knobs.
I'd bought them at Hobby Lobby, two years ago. 
They still carry them if you like them and want them. 
Hobby Lobby has the greatest knobs at the best prices especially with a coupon 
or when they are 50% off which is like at least once a month.
If you don't have Hobby Lobby in your town. 
You can order through their website.
Chairs are awaiting their fabric. It will be here Monday.
So you know I'm getting ready for this -
My house will be shown on Thursday, April 7th.

Considering that it took me 4 weeks to paint all this furniture.
(which does not include all the prep that went in to this back in the fall - lots and lots of sanding and repairs)
I must be crazy in that I'm going to repaint this table this weekend.
It's small but the top folds out so it's bigger than you think.
My friend, Deidra gave me this table quite awhile ago knowing full well I was going to repaint it.
I've been wanting to paint it for quite awhile.
Now I just have to decide what color...either creamy white (of course will look good)
or light periwinkle?
Gotta preference? I'll check back after priming and I will go with whichever gets the most votes -
white or periwinkle.

Don't forget about my awesome giveaway from Shabby Apple!

You get to choose which dress.....
I'll choose a winner on April 15.

Just go to this post to enter.
