Before and After - Ugly to Beautiful

Last weeks post I featured a charming vintage room designed by Raissa. I mentioned I would be posting before and after photos of the furniture she painted. Well - here are the photos with impressive results! It's amazing what you can do with ugly furniture to make it beautiful!

Raissa: The furniture was purchased as a set on craigslist for $75. It was mahogany beyond repair. I primed it, painted it white, rubbed on the Sherwin Williams Cay (paint color), let that dry, then sanded it, then dry brushed some more of the blue... the pulls were metal which I spray painted white and sanded. To read last weeks post and view more photos of this darling vintage room.
