Its one hot mess, I tell you what. It looks like I was a bad blogger and forgot to take a before picture but this is actually how it showed up at my house. Its not that it doesn't have potential to be lovely but between the burn and water marks and peeling veneers there will be...well blood, sweat etc... but who knows, it could be easier than I anticipated. I thought my little sewing cabinet was going to be a lot harder to strip down than it actually was (notice that I forgot to take a before picture of this one, ha). Yes, right now it looks like a wreck but I can't wait to clean up this little dirty birdie with a sleek paint job and maybe some decoupage. Mmm-mmm.
And in true Crystal fashion since I can't limit myself to one or two projects at a time I'll give you another little preview of what else I'm working on. Its a little plastic jewelry box that I scored at a yard sell for 25 cents. Oh how I love the swirls and show girl legs.
Not to mention the creepy little picture depicted on the lid of what I suppose is a picnic or ritual sacrifice where the main objective is biting the heads off live bats...
Speaking of crazy fun crafting and furniture redos, the husband thinks that I should start my own crafting blog because he loves how excited I get and how passionate I am about giant hunks of garbage. I'm not so sure though. I learned about 60% of what I know from other blogs and the other 40% from trial and error. I found out that if I shower something with enough creative insults it'll usually work after about 3 tries... Anyways, what do you think? Should I give it a go or just stick to this her' blog?
