The Cart - Custom Refinish Before & After

So what can you do with an old cart such as this one? Our client Allison had a vision of removing the side towel rack and pulling out the diamond glass and replacing it with bubble glass. We removed the plastic wheels and painted it in a grey. I think the pictures make it look bluer than it really is but nonetheless it turned out beautiful. Allison had a great vision. As usual.
I love grey. Thanks to Sharon over at Elizabeth and Co who gave us the inspiration to paint a coffee table in a grey. We accidently picked a table up for $20 and recently refinished it and we are thinking that it will work nicely in our new living room because WE HAVE FINALLY SOLD OUR HOME!

We initially tried selling it on our own and then took a break for about a year or so. Then we tried on our own again and finally decided after running into an old friend who happens to be a real estate agent to give that a try. Like everywhere else the market has been so bad and we struggled for the past year trying to sell. Once spring hit we started getting more traffic but still no one was very interested. Our contract with our agent expired on May 1 so we decided that once that happened we needed to take another break. Between my new job and The Frosted Gardner business and juggling family we decided we were going to pull it off the market. We just needed to simplify life for a bit. We had one final showing on April 26 and reluctantly straightened the house up for the last time.

However, this time would be different because they came back later that day for another visit and within two days we had an offer! We counter offered the next day and they accepted within a few hours and we just couldn't believe it.

We couldn't be more pleased and know that where we are going will be a wonderful place for our family. I have not dared talk about it much because I am afraid to jinx our great fortune but at this point everything looks solid and we are starting to pack up the house.

We will continue painting furniture just like we always have and nothing will change in that regard. We feel very blessed and cannot wait to make our new house a home.
