some befores and afters...

Some before and afters...

This was a cool little old suitcase,

 but the color was not the best for me.

So, I painted it white and

brushed a stain on it,

that I wiped off immediately.
I had a hard time deciding if I should paint the
handle and the hardware,
but I decided to leave it and I am glad I did.

Now it works for my growing stack....

Here is the before of some gold frames...

And here are the afters...

I used the same white paint

and stain as I did on the suitcase...

assembly line style!

I love my afters!

Big project this weekend,

come see what it is on Monday!
