Before and Afters...

I just wanted to share some thrift store items I redid over the last few months...I think you'll agree that the "Befores" are a little scary!

Letter Sorter: BEFORE


I knew this metal letter sorter had potential~ but man, was it rough!

AFTER:
I sanded and painted and distressed this thing until I could no more!


Now I love it! (And it's for sale...)

The next specimens are these adorable owls. Ok, so they're stuck in the 70's, but not for long!
BEFORE:


(Still BEFORE!)

AFTER: Whooooo you calling stuck in the 70's?

I just love how these all turned out!
I was tempted to keep them & add them to my daughter's woodland/owl themed room...but I put them in the local shop where I consign some stuff & they're for sale! (A few of them in these photos are sold.)




That's all for now! I had fun turning trash into treasure.
