Refinished chest of drawers for my little jedi

I  absolutely love yardsaling and this was a great buy for $10.  However, when I showed it to my son, he WAS NOT in love with the blue and white splatter paint finish from the Eighties.  I had never refinished wood before. I was surprised at how goopey and messy it really is. This picture was taken right after I had removed the paint.

You get the idea of the color on the drawers.

Here are my refinishing tools. I went through a whole package of these blue gloves.

Here's the stripper.

Kilz was a must!

Next order on the agenda. Paint it red!

I like to store my paint brush in a plastic bag if I can't finish the project in a day. It really keeps from having to clean the paint brush over and over again.

Here's his Star Wars chest of Drawers almost complete. I bought the wrapping paper from Wal Mart for $3. I think it adds so much to the effect.

Last but not least we added a clone trooper and another Star Wars character to the drawer pulls.

The beginning......

     I love, love, love crafting and decorating. I especially love repurposing, refinishing, and repainting objects to decorate our home.  I am thinking a blog is a great way to share my pics and ideas with others and to learn and get inspired from other like-minded individuals.  Above are a few examples of some things I've made over the past year! I have just refinished/ redesigned a chest of drawers. I will share soon. I hope someone actually reads this.
