Some More of My Favorite Guys
Slowly, I am pulling together some of the photos I took in haste preparing for last month’s craft fair. Here are some more accessories, I made over to sell.
This guy was in bad shape and needed some love. The veneer was chipped and the finish worn. So I repaired the chipped veneer with wood fill, primed and painted it.
If I am not mistaken, the original use was for magazines or record ablums (remember those?). But I thought it could be used in an office to hold current files just the same. I was planning to stencil it but then I decided to go with a grain sack aesthetic instead.
And I shared you this little guy with you earlier but I never showed you the before. Check out the needlepoint cover.
This foot stool was a little shaky so I took it apart and re-glued the joints.
The finish was a mess too.
So I used some ASCP Old White and the remaining section of a flannel shirt I used to make one of these pillows
to cover the cushion.
What do you think?
