I love how fun and cheerful this turned.
I snapped this before picture after I had removed the doors and the carpet covered cardboard side panels. Say that fast...
I almost passed up this piece. It was one of the only things left at an estate sale. The house was almost empty and it was tucked inside a closet. It had a bunch of junk that no wanted on top of it. I walked by it several times before I really noticed it.

I replaced them with solid wood. You can't see in this picture, but the legs had been eaten up by some little critter. I sanded ALOT, and then reshaped with some wood filler. I then painted the entire piece with my homemade white chalk paint, like I did HERE.
I had intended on painting the entire piece pink, but thought it looked so great white I changed plans. I decided to just paint the legs pink and my two little birds in pink. I used my overhead projector to put on my design. I combined two different images I found on the web for my birds.
I distressed and then used a little dark wax.
I then did two coats of Annie Sloan clear wax.
It didn't last long at Absolute Vintage Boutique.
Its already sold.
