Plain Jane Gets a Makeover

There's something so bloomin' fun about taking a piece of furniture

that was just plain boring and breathing some life into it!

Such was the case with my latest project.

It was so non-descript and boring when I first got it,

but its shape is very sweet, so it had lots of potential.

I painted it with Olympic Smokey Slate

(which sounds greyish but is actually a pretty blue),

then added the bird silhouette to the corner.

I distressed it, then used Minwax clear wax to protect it.

Here are some of the details...

It's singing a new song now!
