The Beast

Man this beast was a bugger! 

I painted it 3 different colors before I ended up with the final product!

And
can I just tell you how ecstatic I was when I got this. I have always turned green with envy when I hear people saying "I found a great piece of furniture in the trash or some random "for free" pile."

NO FAIR!!! 

I mean,
I find good deals.
But trust me when I say I search for those deals I find (explained in this blog post).

So I am sure you can imagine my sheer joy and elation when we were helping some  friends move andwhen we were done, this beast was still sitting there.
  I asked what they were going to do with it and my friend said leaving it!

UMMMM....HELLO!! 

HALLELUJAH CHOIR 

singing in my head!

This bugger was a pain to redo.
It needed lots of sanding, filling, screwing, and pin nailing!

But seriously for $FREE-NINETY-FREE
who cares if ya have to "...put your back into it! "

(Is that song stuck in your head now?tehe)

It went from white to brilliant red, and then to gray.
I had every intention to leave it gray,
but in the process of clear coating and redo the tracks,
I sold the boys set of drawers.
Now I needed in their room, so I changed it to black!

 After seeing the beast in all her colors,
I have realized she was always meant to be black!
It made her look elegant and expensive!

I kept the old hardware.
Something I rarely do. But I was in love with the vintage pulls.
 I spray painted them black, I sanded them down to their original finish to give them a antique feel!

Look at these lines!

And now to display her!

I am in love! 

 On to accessorizing!

Finally!

Keep checking back!
And happy THRIFTING!!
