Sorry for the delay in posting! Spring is such a busy time!
I thought I would share a project I just finished up for a client who connected with me through a yard sale website on facebook (side bar: do you all do the yard sale websites on facebook? They are THE BEST!)
Bamboo furniture is trendy right now. I have two pieces and I get tons of compliments on them. Rebecca's piece had amazing details, but was definitely stuck in the 70's with its beige and black speckled finish.

| Love the bamboo details-- not so much the beige! |
Rebecca had an awesome inspiration photo, which let us work from a common shared vision:

| Love this style! |
So, after we aligned on what Rebecca wanted, I picked up the piece from her house. I did a standard painting procedure-- sanded down the whole piece, primed, sanded again, painted with Design Master's Raspberry paint and applied a shiny coat of poly to seal it off. I used this method from one of my favorite bloggers to strip the hardware-- the handles were painted with the same paint as the piece. I put the hardware in a crockpot over night and the paint just fell off, revealing the original, amazing bronze. We decided to finish them off with a gold spray paint to give them that extra shine.

It was a blast to work with Rebecca and help her achieve her vision for the piece. I can't wait to see it styled up at her house!
