Che Bella Cosa......What a Beautiful Thing

it is

to finally finished an other project that is been taking 4 days and I love the results.

I purchased this file box at Silverado Salvage yard here in Rainbow and is been sitting in the driveway for quite some time. Some projects could be overwhelming and not knowing what to expect in the process of refinishing the piece. I am also one of those that if encounters more then one problem drops everything and moves on.





the tin ceiling is from Silverado too




Love it! It will be really hard to let it go but.......

I also made a sign out of a cabinet door . I am still going with aqua and pink and white. I love spring and summer colors.
Some red is coming too!
you just have to wait a little bit longer.


Have a wonderful weekend!
Buon Fine Settimana
Ciao for now
Rita
