Cleaning out

I take a ride just about every Wednesday to my favorite junk spot with the hopes of filling my car. I then come home and load it all into my studio and storage space and pull pieces out all week to work on. The problem is that often things keep getting pushed aside and never end up being painted. As often happens in January, I get an attack of needing to clean. So that's what I did ... I cleaned up my studio (it really does look better ) and pulled out all of the forgotten pieces.

This beautiful dining table and five matching chairs needs a new paint job and new seats. I spent yesterday doing minor repairs and priming. I'm not sure what fabric to put on the seats yet but I'll be thinking about it as I paint ...

These frames have been piling up ( I have another pile too ) so I cleaned them up, will get them primed and remirrored and then off to the shop.

This lovely buffet has been hiding under stuff that I had just piled on the top. It's a great piece ...

I found this sweet little stool under the dining table ... I can't wait to give it a new paint job and pretty floral fabric ...

Here are a few more mirrors and frames I found ...

This vanity stool, already painted, has been moved from room to room waiting for a new cushion. I recovered the original seat with new batting and new fabric.

Here's a little hint: when you have a defect and don't feel like using wood fill ... add a pretty trim to hide the holes (see it peeking out from under the vintage trim?). Plus, the trim adds a lovely touch of detail ...

Well, it's Wednesday so I'm off ... my car may have to stay loaded until I move these pieces out but at least there will be room for my new treasures!!
