A Day in the Barn

Today is the day------a BIG project needs completion.

My client has waited TOO long for this piece.

I rarely have felt any major twinging when painting an

old piece--even when it is a "fine" antique. 

I believe nothing is of much value if it doesn't work

for your lifestyle.

But this filing cabinet has been an exception for me.

The finish on it was beautiful, the color and wood were lovely.

I had angst as I started the sanding process, but a PAINTED

chest is what my client desires.

This is the cabinet before:  (I obviously started pulling drawers

out before I remembered to take a pic.)

Please note the ginormous heater in background.  It's the only way

to get any work done in the winter.

That's 15 drawers with 2 handles each, with one metal label each,

with 2 screws on each and everyone of those. 

It took an hour to just remove screws.

Ready for the final product???

not yet...

Hope you find some fun in your day!
