Okay here you go ladies...
first let's have another look at the before...
the wonderful 70's shade of orange
now bring in the big guns... Briwax - dark walnut...
if you like to dirty or age pieces this is a must... it is the nicest wax to work with...
I sanded a bit to rough it up... I then applied the Briwax with a brush... meet my new buffer...lol... those miracle cloths are great for buffing ... I stuck it to my sander and let it do all the hard work...
I am loving it...
it is actually a little darker than it is showing...
all dressed up...
I passed up an ironstone pitcher, now I will have to go back and get it... shhh
the reason it is in my washroom is because I have absolutely no room left in my house... the first question I always get from Mr. D. is where are you going to put that... I had to think of an answer quickly, so here it is and I love it... plus it gives me storage to hide all my extra dough...hahaha... don't waste your time looking... unless you are needing a roll of white stuff.
So what do you think... still think I should have painted?
and last but not least... our sweet little Mya... snuggling with Mommy.
Hope your day has been a good one...
Hugs, Deb

OMG Deb, that is so awesome that you got that done already!! Wish I had your energy...lol. Anyway, I absolutely love it and I think it looks fantastic. I even think that it "fits" in your bathroom!! Wonderful job Deb! Mya is getting so cute and big!

Oh yes! That is beautiful! I love the look of dark wood and am glad you didn't paint it - it's just gorgeous. Well, almost as beautiful as Mya : ) Thanks for the fix!
I love the dark finish, it looks so much better. I always think Paint, but what a great idea to stain darker.
Hugs,
Jo
Oh Deb, you find the best pieces. That is awesome! I love it and want one:) It does look better too, and don't paint it:)

Oh yes, it's much better than the orange look.
Thanks for the picture of the little angel. She looks so comfy snuggling up to her mommy. :)
It looks more elegant with the darker stain. Pretty! And thanks for the Mya fix :)
Lovely! That looks much better! hehe
Hey girl,
Thanks for stopping by my site AND YES the clocks from England are for sale. I am not sure about shipping something that big...it would depend on if I can find a box big enough and if you are willing to pay for shipping.
But thanks for the kind words,
Lori
I remember reading this, but I guess I didn't get around to commenting. I've been a bad blog friend and am spending my day just catching up with all my buds and visiting.
This makeover looks great, I need to get me some of that briwax stuff. I'm kicking myself for not buying it that day we were shopping together.
I just found your blog and am loving looking at your pictures. I do think you made a good choice going with the darker stain. I wonder if that would work on my kitchen cabinets that are way too yellow for my taste (gotta love the 80s!).
