Tuesday, March 16, 2010 Its about time I finished my Coffee Table. It has only been waiting to be finished for over a Year and a Half! I just love how it turned out. So excited, I finally was able to use one of my special knobs.
Did I mention I bought new shoes too? :)

Last month, I had the privilege of going to the Martinez Peddlers Fair loaded with amazing flea market finds! I found these 2 vintage drawers that belonged to a sewing machine cabinet.
Not fond of the color, I decided these would be the perfect candidate for my can of spray paint. Not sure what I was going to use them for, I snapped them up!
Also notice in the second photo my wonderful aqua hemingray railroad insulators I found for a buck! I am going to make these beauties into a hanging candle holder.
Finally deciding how I was going to fix them up, I grabbed my can of spray paint, sand paper, and screw driver.
First, I removed all the hardware. I just love the drawer handles by the way!
Second, I sanded down both drawers then sprayed a few coats of spray paint.
Third, I took sandpaper and distressed all the edges of the drawer I could find. As you can tell in the picture above, I was in distressing heaven!
When finished distressing, I wiped the drawer clean and added the hardware. Still, not knowing what I was going to do with these beauties, I set them aside. A few days later, I found the perfect use for one of the drawers! In desperate need of having a holder for my ironing board supplies, I had an idea. I found that one drawer was the perfect size to set on the end of my board loaded full of my supplies. It has worked out great!
Any ideas on how to use the second drawer? :)

I am IN-Love with these Bobbins! Inspired by Heather Bailey! I had a great time out at my Local craft store picking out all the supplies! I bought .99 cent paint, a dowel rod, satin varnish, wood glue, a paint brush, and wooden finials! I even had to go to Ace to get a cheap saw to cut my dowel rod up! I spend a whole evening on this fun project and cant wait to make more!
This was very easy! I cut my dowel rod up into 4 inch segments. Stuck the wooden finials onto the dowel rod with a little glue, painted them, distressed them, varnished them, and then wound them up! :)
I even found yummy Heather Bailey Fabric for my picture background! What could be more fun than that! I really had a BLAST! Hope you enjoy the pictures! :)
