How to use dowels as drawer slides. Surprisingly easy to do!
My good friend Kristina has been busy planning her oldest daughter, Annikka's wedding. We started talking about decorations and that led to me acquiring this dresser. The plan was to fancy her up a bit, use it for decoration for the reception and then give it to Annikka for her new apartment. This is my version of a wedding gift. Notice the cobwebs underneath? Yeah, she'd been stored on a back patio for quite a while. So, cutting to the chase. I primed, brushed 2 coats of homemade chalk paint, added some off-white accents and here she is. Since she had some pretty significant wear, I decided we should rock the shabby look, made possible with some 100 grit sandpaper and a whole lot of elbow grease. When it came time to seal it, I chose not to go with my typical PAS. I knew I wanted some sort of glaze or dark wax to bring out the details and since I used chalk paint, if I used polyacrylic that would mean brushing on at least one coat to seal the porous paint, glazing, and then brushing on 2-3 more coats. That didn't sound too fun. I decided to bring out the detail with some dark antiquing wax. Since I made my own chalk paint, why not make my own dark wax too? I started with some Johnson Paste Wax. Why? Because I had it on hand. Why did I have it on hand? Because it's half the price of most soft waxes and I'm cheap. I've used both Annie Sloan and CeCe Caldwell wax before. I like them both (CeCe Caldwell's better), but I've had really good results with SC Johnson's paste wax too. To get ready to tint the wax, make sure the wax is very soft, almost melted consistancy. To do this, you could set the tub in a bowl of hot water, not reaching the top of the tub and let it sit for a few minutes and then stir well. Or, you could do what I did and leave the tub of wax sitting on a shelf in the garage and live in a place that reaches 115 degrees almost daily. That technique worked great! All I had to do was scoop some out into a plastic container. Because wax is oil-based, you will need to tint it with an oil-based product. I started by pouring a bit of Kona wood stain into the wax and stirring well. It looked perfect! But when I tried some on a sample board, it was a bit weak. It didn't really leave any color after it was buffed off. So, to step it up a notch, I added around a teaspoon of Raw Umber universal tint. I know I've mentioned this product a million times before, but it's really that useful! You can use it to tint virtually anything (water-based, oil-based, shellac, etc)! I talked about using universal tint to mix custom glaze in this post. Also, a bottle only costs around $10 at Home Depot and lasts forever. I bought this bottle over a year ago, use it several times a month, and it's more than half-full still! After adding the tint, I stirred the wax very well, making sure to blend any lumps. It was pretty runny. Too thin to try to wax something with. I simply covered the container, and popped it into my fridge for about half an hour. Once it set up, it was perfect! Nice, smooth, dark wax with just the right amount of pigment. Back to the dresser/wedding gift. Using a clean rag, I rubbed on one coat of dark wax, let dry and buffed. After about 3 hrs, I applied an additional coat of clear wax, for added protection. The dark wax toned down the white a bit, without making it look dirty. And I love the way it emphasized the details in the wood. Once more, let's see the before And after. I'm happy with the way my blue and white painted dresser came out and I'll definitely make my own DIY dark wax again! Let's be friends!

Where the hell did that weekend get to!!! Saturday was so lovely that I ended up going with Sue W to watch her son play rugby. TOF and my Jak came later on and my Max turned up as well. We off course where there en mass to give our support and have the odd snigger as at times all we could see were Michael s bright yellow footy boots at the bottom of a ruck, well I think that's what its called, to me its just a pile of big sweaty blokes on the ground. Jak, TOF Max and Me in full support mode!! Yep backs turned to the field paying no attention what so ever to the game. So that group of blokes above is one thing I love. But some other things I love are as follows. I have a bad habit of saving pics of things I love. Kind of like a wish list. Even when I was younger I would have a scrap book full of things I had cut out and pasted into it of things I LOVED!! Found the scrap books in my mothers attic a couple of years ago. Talk about laugh!! Should have seen the fashion, and the so called what I thought was HOT guys back then. Oh to be a teenager again. Anyway, some of my things I LOVE now. Gorgeous Bali jacket with embroidery and big 3D flowers on it. The best wing back chair ever!!! Totally loving the colour!! Colourful Chandelier, have found some baby ones in a very cool shop out at Raglan. Not sure if TOF would let me hang that in our bedroom tho'. The coolest set of drawers I have ever seen, just wish my dad was still alive because he would have found a way to make these for me. Miss you dad!! I love all of these so much that I have this one here. But the others are so gorgeous also. What a talented knitter this person is and these just sell like hotcakes!!! The very latest Tui gnome!!! Well that's some of my things I love. Hope you all had all great weekend and are all ready for another enthralling week at work or whatever it is that you have to do for the next 5 days. ♥

You know the piece. The one that you find in an antique store. It looks amazing... on the outside. You go to pull a drawer only to find that it doesn't budge. Hmm... you wiggle a bit, finally get one of the drawers to come out and find that the bottom of the drawer is duct taped in place. So it needs a little more work than you had hoped, but you buy it anyway, because you can see it's going to be worth it. That's the story with this piece, so I thought it was a good opportunity to continue our series on furniture repair. This time it's all about drawer repair. Furniture Repair: How to Replace a Drawer Bottom Step 1. Remove the existing drawer bottom (if there is one). Remove any extra nails, staples, splinters of wood etc. You should be left with a nice groove where the new bottom will fit.
