What a month, a week long migraine, followed by the flu and for added discomfort my pelvis separated again. Praising God though as I have recovered from the first two and daily I become more mobile with the help of my Chiropractor from the third.
I picked this phonograph cabinet up quite awhile ago. It had been stored outside in the elements so it had a fair bit of damage to it. Which , of course, makes it perfect! The top was crazed badly and sanding only damaged the veneer more. It required some gluing to the body, but all in all it was all repairable.
The inside was in great shape.
The base had great lines
My first colour choice was too washed out
The second was too ..........
After distressing, still too...not right.
While I was painting Two Shades of Gray I knew the colour combination would work well for this piece as well.
Distressed just enough to show the first two colour attempts because, after all, it is part of the cabinets history now.
I love all the "oops" colors showing through, Looks great now and new follower :)

ReplyDeleteI'M PINNED!!!!
DeleteI love it! Sometimes we just have to take the long way around to get where we want to be.
ReplyDeleteWhen I can't get a piece right, it sits for awhile. I know inspiration will hit...eventually.
DeleteOh, Wow! It is just fantastic! You did an amazing job on this. Thank you for sharing. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House which goes live at 8am CST on Monday. Hope to see you at the bash! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
ReplyDeleteThank you. I did pop over and share this on your link party.
DeleteWhat a fabulous piece. I love the color combo and it is such a neat shape and size. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis piece now sits on the back of my truck,it has been sold.
DeleteStopping over from Debbiedoo's party. Love the color choice! I think sometimes mistakes are for the best when painting! I know every time I mess up, it ends up working out in the end, and sometimes better than I imagined! Love it! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I do love the colour combo as well. I need to refrain from using it for awhile though.
DeleteLovely transformation.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteJust beautiful - you can NEVER grow wrong with gray -!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sure can't. These two shades have become a standard colour for me. I will probably always have these on hand.
DeleteI know the feeling but none of that matters when we find satisfaction in the end, right? Congrats for sticking with it. Nice job.
