I Should Wait to Show You!

I should wait to show you the projects I'm working on but I can't!  It's two weeks until I need to have everything finished that I intend to sell at our Farmgirls Country Sale!  I do love this part!

I love Gerbera daisies!
I've been working on a vanity that needed some TLC.  Many times these treasures from the 1940's are veneer and many things are enemies of this thin, thin wood that is glued onto the base of the dresser.  So instead of gluing and clamping - I removed it because underneath is nice wood.  I can do this because I'm painting this vanity!

This vanity is so cool - but missing a handle!
Now we're getting somewhere!
My Hubby is working on another dresser.  We found the dresser and mirror at the same sale and soon they will be married...attached but not originally part of each other!  The dresser was stripped and the lovely round mirror just needed its veneer removed - too much was missing.  The mirror will remain circled with lovely decorative wood and the dresser will be black with wood handles.

Lot's of elbow grease!
An orphan mirror soon to be adopted!
See why I can't wait!  Both pieces will be done this weekend and then I will post the after pictures.  Woo hoo!  The pressure is on!

Do you have a fun hobby like this?
