Gateleg table

I normally like to paint my furniture

but my hubby insisted I keep the

original look.

 

The top was sanded to remove the old varnish.

 

 



I used several coats of Howard's Restor-A-Finish on the top

along with AS dark wax.

 

The leg area was so dull that I used Howard's Feed-N- Wax.

I love, love this stuff, it contains beeswax and Orange oil....seriously...

the furniture looks great when you use Feed-N-Wax!!

 

 

Less than 2 weeks for Fancy Flea in Lakeland...

I hope some of you can make it.

I am on the corner of Lemon and Kentucky!!

 

 

Have a great week,

Hoosier cabinet

Happy October!!!

 

I was lucky enough to find

a 1920/30's Hoosier cabinet.

 

But as you can see it needs a lot

of TLC....removing the wallpaper...

 

 

removing the material lined shelves

along with the staples...ugh!!

 

 

Don't you love all that storage??

 

The bottom right corner is made out of tin...

pretty nifty!!

 

Cooling racks for those yummy

pies...

The wallpaper was removed but now

I have the wallpaper glue to deal

with....yep!!...it's going to be

a big project.

 

Have a great weekend,

Sylvia

Sunbeam blender~Jadite bowls

Having issues is OK....

 

This Sunbeam blender needs a little

tune-up...

 

The small Jadite bowl has been glued back

together but that's OK too

Because the whole look is

pretty dang cool!!

I can see it up on my cupboard shelf...

 

Have a great week,

Vintage plates and Enamelware

Hello Friends....

Wow...summer is just about

over for us here in FL.

School starts THIS Wednesday,

the 8th of Aug.

I'm ready to get MY schedule

back on track...haha

It's been crazy hot here but I am

still treasure hunting!!

The plates are keepers since I have a

couple more in my collection.

Love...love the enamel baking dishes

they match perfectly with the enamel table

top that I have for sale at The Antique Emporium.

And who can pass up a pretty wooden shabby frame along with

a green rusty metal tool box?

Did I mention the SS candlesticks?

Found treasure for sure!!

Have a great week...

Yo Yo Quilt

Wow...it's been over a month since my last post!!

My Bad...

Did you get a chance to go to the

Rennigers Garden Show in Mt. Dora

last month?

It was pretty exciting!!

Lots of great vendors with lots and lots and lots

of eye candy.

I bought this beautiful vintage yo-yo quilt from

Joannie.

It's so delicate and sure it

does have some wear and tear...



 but it still came home with me.

It's being displayed

ontop of my hutch.

Have a great day,

Sylvia
