Thrift Store Orphan to Elegant Beauty
Happy mid-August! Can you believe that summer is already winding down?
This quick post is all about my little thrift store orphan that I found a few weeks ago. I knew immediately that it was the perfect candidate for a paint makeover. The paint color is Dixie Belle’s Sawmill Gravy, and the wax applied was both in clear and dark brown for highlights. Gold gilding wax was added for a little bit of glam and the new hardware from World Market was the perfect addition!
The tutorial video is below!
