Fun Furniture

This is my first furniture project in a very long time. As some of you may know, I've been cleaning out my mom's house and took some very old, basic wood pieces of furniture home with me. Most of the furniture is as old as I am (old!) and very well made, of maple. This is one of the smaller pieces I have and thought it was a good one to start with. I painted it with Gliddens Primer/Paint mix and wasn't very happy with the way it went on. It was like painting with liquid rubber. I knew I was going to sand it and distress it so I didn't mind using it, however I will not use it again, especially on a larger piece. After sanding, I then collaged it with an assortment of scrapbook papers, mostly Prima of course! A screwed in a glass knob, lined the drawer with more paper and called it a day. I love it! It turned out to be an adorable addition to my craft space. It was originally in our Lake Tahoe cabin we had growing up and it is a small reminder of many years of wonderful vacation times with family and friends.
