Lamp Revival

Okay, I was going crazy with all the packing and cleaning, so I decided to do a small project.  I found this ugly lamp and shade at the local thrift store on half off day.   My 8 year old daughter will finally have her own room when we move and I have been told that this just HAS to go in her room:)

Before


After



Lamp # 2.  My other daughters needed one too, of course.  Good thing I got two at the thrift store.  This one is not quite as fun, but it is still cute.
This is my "oops I forgot to take a 'before' photo again".


After



Here's a few things I will be posting for sell once we get settled in.
Long white planter box.
Primitive wall cabinet.
Long stained planter box.
If you can't tell I am excited for spring.  The long stained box may already be sold, the white dresser will NOT be fore sale.

Signs $12.00 (still available)

 I tried to duplicte the "Farm" sign that I decided to keep.  I have a few other boards that I haven't written on yet so we can do other words.
I can drill holes in the top if you want to hang them, as of right now there are not any hanging devices on them.

Farmhouse Bench $90.00 (SOLD)

This bench is very strong and sturdy.  I can add a board to the bottom for a shelf if desired. 
Great for an entry way, mudroom, or under a window.
63" long, 19" tall, and 11.5" wide.

Bench/Coffee Table $75.00(Sold)



This top opens but it does not have a bottom in it.  It is not pretty on the inside.  It's not really functional, mostly just for looks.  I was going to keep it but it won't fit at the end of my bed in our new place.












I cut this pallet in half and used one half for the back and one half for the front of the bench.

Coffee Table $69.00 (sold)

The end table in the photo is no longer available.

Dresser/? $89.00 (SOLD)

I had someone ordered this as a vanity for a bathroom sink and then buyer no longer responded after finishing it.  So this is being sold at a good price to sell quick.  I did not concentrate on fixing up the top because I knew they would be putting a marble top on it.  So there is a large gouge you can see in a photo below.  This could also easily be converted to a tv console,  the drawer fronts are only glued in and there is already a bottom board that you could set dvd machines on.  It would make a great entry piece too.  The cabinet doors open, there are no shelves, it is just open. 
This is 42" wide  35" tall and 21" deep
The base color is cinnamon with dark nutmeg as a final coat, distressed.
