Our First BIG Makeover

Hi prim girls,
During the weekend we had  a snowstorm. I love to see the snow falling down to ground, but I hate when we had plans that we need to change. That was occured with us!  We are completely bored  and we decided to started a makeover, our BIG one. After our moving to this house, we founded that the last homeowner left a baby's chest. We never used it but we didn't discard it due to the piece was wood and had good bones. Perfect for a makeover! Here is the piece before.....
We removed the drawers and reinforced the piece, painted yellow ochre over black, sanded and stained.
 
 
Look how that piece looks now and for what we will used it,
 
I think it looks better now! I love how it turns out and we had a new prim TV cabinet for free. We only spend a few dollars in a wood board for the doors and wooden knobs for the piece. What do you think?

***************
Today is Watcha Working on Wednesdays in Leslie's Blog - My country home. Leslie, I'm so sorry ..I am completely late this year, I missed a month of projects. Last night we received more snow, result ...NO classes today, two kids running, eating  and screaming for everything, OMG , peace..... Well, God gave me a break (LOL). They decide to play Wii and I started some bunnies and dolls for my selling blog and baked two cakes using a new recipe ( mmmm, so yummy can't wait eat them) .   Here are the pictures....
Bye, bye and see you soon......Evelyn

  32. Awesome, Evelyn! What a complete makeover! It looks like a totally new piece of furniture! I love how you are using it now. I really like how you added the shelf on the bottom. Your crocks lined up on that shelf look great!

    Oh, those bunnies are going to be adorable when you are done. Can't wait to see them finished!

    Thanks for sharing your projects, I really enjoyed looking at them. Have a wonderful week~

  33. Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing
    to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked
    while people consider worries that they just do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects
    , people could take a signal. Will probably be back
    to get more. Thanks
