white show stuff...

Happy February!
Even with the extra day, February is a short month.
I am trying to make the most of each day making sure I work on a project (or two) for the At Home With White Show at the shop.
April will be here before you know it!

So far so good!

I picked up an old furniture top a few weeks ago.
Here is the before...


Here is the after...


Looks much better, don't you think?

Hope you are having a great day!

I am joining in on White Wednesday over at Faded Charm where I fell in love with all the old house details Kathleen shared!

    Isn't it amazing what a few coats of clean fresh white can do! This piece had great lines to begin with and the paint tied them all together.
