Glazing 101 by Brooke

So while you are waiting for the after pictures of my soon to be tv stand...Thought I would share with you my 1st glazing project.  I learned how to do this from Brooke over at All Things Thrifty...you should check her out she has some great projects and ideas!


Not too bad for my first try!

My newest project...

                      My inspiration for my newest project comes from Be Different Act Normal...
                                                              She took an old dresser...

And turened it into this...

LOVE IT!!!

So I went to may favorite thrift store and got this...

Needs lots of work...it has 1 broken drawer (the middle one) but I need to take one out and make it a shelf anyway...this beauty cost me $8.88!!  After pics to come soon.

Leave a light on for me...

Great $3 chandelier...too bad my husband is not electricaly inclined :(

Sold

Have a seat...

I got two of these chairs at a garage sale for $5...

A little black paint and some great fabric later...

Great cow print chairs!!!

Then I wanted to try my hand at real reupholstering...

so I got this chair at goodwill (sorry for the dark picture)

UGLY purple suade type fabric...

A little finesse...and VOILA...

A great zebra seat!!!

All of these chairs sold within 3 days!!!

Where it all started

***Disclaimer***
I have no before pictures of these because at this point I was just having fun.  Sorry I know before and afters are alot more fun.

Ok here goes...

My Terrible Terror...

                          

Just kidding...how can anyone not love that face?

This is my 4 year old Austin who is in LOVE with Lightning Mcqueen.  He wanted a Cars room.  A little history...we live in an old, old house with wood paneling in every room (UGLY)!  So we paint over them...after spackling all the groves...what a looong job. 
Anyhoo...we painted Austin's room red (what else for a Lightning Mcqueen fan?).  Only with the faint wood paneling lines and the red paint...it looked like a barn!!!  So we got somes Cars boarder and I made some cute curtins with tan Cars fabric...which broke it up a little.  Then I thought what else can I do? 

So this is what I did!

                      

and this...

                                                   

Fun or What?  His bed was painted blue and he has a yellow tv stand too...which I have no picture of (again sorry).To do this to his existing furniture only cost me $32!!!  After my friend's little girl saw this she wanted one too.

So for her...Tinkerbell (aka Stinkerbell in my house of 4 boys!)
