painting fool...

So I have been painting every day.  And every night.
I have completed about a dozen pieces.  I am loving painting. 
I even get up before I leave for work every day and put a coat of poly on something, somewhere!
My house and barn are a wreck.  Newspaper, cans of paint, poly, brushes everywhere....

These are a few of my latest before and after pictures. 
Here is  what the piece looked like before - an ugly pine hutch that we found on craigslist. 

I painted it a pretty taupey grey color, distressed it, glazed it and gave it a couple coats of poly. I changed a couple of the knobs (yes, hobby lobby), but actually thought the old ones looked better on it after, than they did before.

I think she is beautiful now.  
I like her so much, I am not sure I can sell her.  
But our house has no wall space.  Too many windows. I have no where to put her :(

Here are a couple others I just finished !
This new adventure is a lot of work.
Degloss,  paint,  paint again,  sand,  glaze,  poly,  sand,  poly...
It takes about a week to complete a piece. But I love the results!
