Black Friday/Black Beauty

Good Monday. Well some days I wish I lived South of the border, the sales are sooo much better down there. So instead of waiting outside a store for hours, I started working on this hutch. Which has been sitting in my front room for 5 weeks.{thanks for loving my furniture,hubby}
Pretty good looking to start with, some would have kept it the same. {SOME} But not those that have caught the painting bug.....by the way if anyone comes across a vaccination for the furniture painting bug, please let me know. I thought in the mood of Black Friday-why not black? I sanded down the shine and went to work.
She sure is a beauty. Check out those delicate feet and prissy details. I was going to spray the fixtures, but loved the gold look. What do you think?
Here's a good pic of the slight distressing, I tried to not over do it. Finding that balance of the perfect wear can be tough at times.

On another note, remember this decor?

I forgot to take a before, but you get the picture. I bought them for 50 cents.

Love these! Totally new life for the wall decor, they could see another 20 years.

Please remember to check out my previous post. The draw for the Home Depot Gift Card is coming soon, I'd love to have more ideas. Take care.

Welcome

Welcome to Chic By Tab. I'm Tabatha (Tab), a Canadian with a passion for everything shabby chic.


Family picture-October 2,2012

Here is a picture of my family, they put up with my junk hunting and hoarding. Our garage is holding some of my recent finds......not going over too well, as he is a garage man.



I totally forgot to take a picture before. So I went online and found the table on Kijiji, this is the exact one. I sprayed a coat of Kilz and sanded it a little with a fine grit. Next was the beautiful paint, I LOVE THIS COLOR!
Voila!

Turned out perfect! Distressed just enough. I adore the red peeking through the blue.
