Ever had too much furniture?

Because of the recent rain we've had I had no choice but to jump in the van, truck or truck & trailer and buy, buy buy! I've even gone back to good ole Craig's list - not to mention we have great estate sales and garage sales in out area! I now have a garage, 3 tents and basement full of furniture to work on.

 This was made from an old saw horse and a section of an old dropleaf table. I used 2 leaves and have one left!

I found this awesome bookcase at an estate sale.

I managed to get these done in between rains.

Here's what I've been up to! (beside getting rained on!!!)

Last week I went to buy a nice sofa table from Craig's list. Well the couple selling it were moving to Florida so they had several things to get rid of. Needless to say I got some great bargains! I have to say that I have met the coolest people on CL! We ended up with this awesome antique French bedroom set.  It has an huge armoire, dresser with mirror, 2 nightstands and full size bed. We're not sure how to sell it, leave it as is or paint it. These pictures were taken in my seller's home which was awesome too!

Still hard at work ~ A few finished pieces!

I love how this cottage style dresser turned out! It was painted black but a terrible paint job. I sanded and re-painted it with some behr paint & primer in a dark brown then dry brushed the dark teal color over it. I then "roughed it up" real good and viola!

 We now have some room in the garage for finished pieces! The plan is to have some back up stock!

We call this piece "big red". I have had it for almost 3 years in the garage. It need some work and to be sanded and painted. Of course someone had painted it an awful red color- again a horrible paint job! Now it looks pretty good, its made by Drexel and has a beautiful curved glass door and 2 shelves inside.

I got this table at a friends yard sale for $50! Its solid oak and very heavy! I decided to leave the top unpainted since it was in such good shape. I love the look!

Projects that I'll be working on

I have so many things to work on and keep finding new things. I didn't have time to take pictures of the stuff we just picked up at some estate sales this weekend but I will as asap. I'm planning a big vintage tag sale hopefull in a couple of weeks to get rid of some of the things I'll never get around to.

Yes that's my garage back there full as ever! Thats why we want to have a sale!
