Shabby Chic Side Table

I forgot to take a before picture but it was just a beaten up flat white table. It had a lot of scratches and whatnot so I decided to try to work with it instead of against it.

This was only my 2nd time ever trying to use glaze so it was a little scary. First, I painted it white, then used heavy blue glaze, then some light distressing, and finally used some clear satin poly to seal it all.

Pink Mirror

I forgot to take a before picture of this but it was just plain boring wood. I decided to try painting it a light pink with black glaze. This was the first time I've ever used glaze before. I thought for sure I was going to ruin the whole thing but everything ended up working out.

resin pendants

I finally got around to pouring the 2nd layer of resin for these pendants! They've been sitting around in my room for ever now. There's actually more that I didn't get to.. Who knows how long those will take. I love the way resin turns out but for some reason I just don't do it that often. All the images are cut from vintage books.
