Pretty White Secretary..

So this is the secretary that I picked up for free from the curb. The best kind of stuff. Well it has sat on my porch for about a year now. Well now it's all done and here it is. I painted it white and sanded it down. I glazed the drawer fronts with a turquoise glaze and absolutely did not like it. I mixed up some white glaze and put that on over it.  I waited for it to dry and resanded it than I waxed the whole thing. The inside part proved to be a huge pain in the butt. I was so ready to get it done. I put some small legs on it that I had and some paper stock on the back for some color. The best part is that I didn't pay one cent for this project. Everything that I used I already had around my house. Not bad right..

  2. Thank you and yes it is. I just love getting free stuff. It's funny what people throw out as garbage. I guess that saying is true.
