Painting Projects

My friend introduced me to milk paint and I have been going crazy with the painting projects!

Before..

My first project was to update this beautiful piece from my mom.  She had this cabinet made to fit these special doors.

After..

I painted it Old Antique White and stained the top to keep its original wood look. I love how it stands out and looks brand new again.

 I loved how the cabinet turned out so I tackled the dinning room chairs..

Yikes what was I thinking! 

The picture above is what the finished product is...Cream with a brown glaze and and few coats of poly to seal them up.

This project was really intense and time consuming, but well worth it.

 These are the chairs in their various stages.  The one on the right is the before, the middle chair is right before the brown glaze and on the left is the finished look.

 And then it was on to the table.  I painted the base the same as the chairs and then darkened the top to match the seats of the chairs.

Here it is all finished. 

 I love how it has lightened up inside our house with all this cream color. 

Now, I am on to painting our kitchen island cabinets.  Wish me luck..this is going to be a long project to paint all the kitchen cabinets. I am up for the challenge!
