the dresser got sanded and waxed
the brown frame got waxed and I started another oval one going shabby chic, both got distressed and finished a tray as well in vintage white. And while white was out I painted the 3 black wall sconces but not sure about them in the end
Time to get back to work, I spray painted the hardware for dresser, scrubbed the spray gun, waxed the oval frame adding pewter mica, put brown glaze on the back of the one frame too, everything to avoid dark waxing the dresser and installing mirror.
Finally I sucked it up and got it out, yep it fits, YAY!! I smoothed the back of the panes, cut the hard board backing like a pro and got all measured to staple. Once the bottom half was secured I had check, beauty! finished up the top half and found it needed a bit of nudging to fit the frame, put in all staples and tapped in secure. Flipping it up I noticed a wee ding on the edge but was a few seconds before I saw the top corner had cracked across!!!! NO DARN WAY! I was in shock and laughed for a second then sat down for a wee bit of water works, I was not really sure what to feel at this point but after a call to Sheldon saying I quit, he reassured me that dealing with old things has a certain element of risk and it is not me but them and in the larger scheme, not really a big problem. HMMMM well I do know I am done with this mirror. It will sell as is, I am done with it ;-(
Time to stop.. I did brush on poly on the white tray then came in for a paralyzer and blog update and dang it a few games of cookie jam! Britt got home from work late yet again. I even managed to find her ANOTHER job for a week in January feeding some 4-H steers on her way to and from school, GO B! that mustang is getting closer each day!
