Orange You Glad It's Friday

"ORANGE YOU GLAD IT'S FRIDAY"
 
One summer, a couple of
years ago, we loaded a
 trailer full of furniture
re-do's and headed to
the Kane County Flea Market
in St. Charles, Illinois. 
 
Where we spotted this beauty!
 

 
Or should I say
 this beautiful pile
of wood! 
 


$10.00 later we had
 ourselves a
new challenge!
 
 It had looked like
they had tried to
burn it at one point.
 
 
 
The drawers had a
 mahogany laminate that
 was beyond repair.
  

Which needed to
be removed.
 
So we had to remove
the wood onlays


After removing the
laminate and sanding
the drawers we placed
the onlays back
into place. .
 
 
My man has Crazy Mad Talent!


We primed the drawers.


 
 
We sanded, glued & screwed
it all back together.
 

 
 
With a little orange paint
 
(or a lot of orange!)
 
 
 
and a little gold paint.
 
We have ourselves a winner!
 
 
 
 
Steve and Jennifer
hand painted
the gold onlays. 
 








 
We love it!
 
 It will be perfect once
we get the room painted.
Of course after we get
our million other
projects complete.
 
First on the list is
type up the list :)
 
 
HAPPY FRIDAY!
