I mean it took me a week off and on to get it all sorted and at times when I was striping the green paint off really depressingly slow, but the end results were worth it. It I can take something that would otherwise be cast aside or thrown out and I can help it get back to it's (somewhat) former glory that's grand by me!<br /><br />You're fine on the boat yet, like I said it took me a year to start working on the hamper. Plus i'm sure the fall weather might be more welcoming for working in in Florida than the summer heat! <br /><br />The bathroom in our house came with a vintage little wooden cabinet under the sink that's next on the to do list, just got a garden to tame first haha!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128754833604987577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096314476893239291.post-92193748173636222492014-08-07T08:23:08.372-04:002014-08-07T08:23:08.372-04:00You did a great job!

I also couldn't live in a house that's decor was ALL white, that would drive me nuts. Plus it wouldn't stay white for very long, i'm very messy. That's why I could never understand why our old apartment had white carpets, like seriously?!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128754833604987577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096314476893239291.post-74588040157734433142014-08-06T17:49:30.305-04:002014-08-06T17:49:30.305-04:00Thank you - turned out a lot better then I hoped t...Thank you - turned out a lot better then I hoped too which is always a bonus!

I always get the need to try and change something every now and again!<br /><br />I love how it came out, i'm sure my painting skills wouldn't of brought it out as well as finding that protective coating that's for sure. I'm glad it has a new home and is being used too that's always one of my musts when it comes to vintage - practical and usable!
