Barn Happy is having a HOLIDAY BARN SALE this coming weekend! These are a couple of things that I just completed and will add them to my space. I'd better get over there soon to FLUFF up my area!!
BEFORE
Plain-Jane solid wood cabinet with water stained top I got at a garage sale. Ho-hum!
The wood on the back was 1" thick with four holes chiseled through- for whatever reason!
I removed the back and sanded the heck out of the top so it could be re-stained. The inside shelves were in pretty good shape and all I did was re-stain them. Then I painted the sides black, did a little distressing, and applied a clear finishing wax to the whole cabinet. I had a couple of old hymnal holders left in my stash, painted them black and attached them to each side. To top it off, I added 4 new casters to the bottom to make it easier to move around. It would make a great serving cart or movable island in the kitchen, don't you think!
AFTER
Old hymnal holders attached to each side.
Perfect for a portable bar or kitchen island!

The other piece I've completed is a dainty little lamp table that I found at a recent garage sale. It needed some updating and a new shade to make it shine!
GUESS WHAT? NO BEFORE PHOTO!!
Okay, so imagine a plain light oak-stained wood lamp/table combination with bright brass lamp post and '70's looking bright brass decorative trim, that looked like handles, attached to the table. Can't you just imagine it? Totally in need of an update!
Here's the AFTER photo!
I removed the gaudy shiney brass trim, painted the entire thing white, and distressed the wood.
I used a vintage lampshade that I had. Removed the old fabric and replaced it with torn strips of a white cotton sheet to give it a bit of whimsy!
Lit up!
I like the way the light shines through the openings. It gives it a softer glow!
Don't forget about the HOLIDAY BARN SALE! November 3rd! See you there!!
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXOXO
