I'm planning to revamp much of the furniture in my house, some with old finishes, some unfinished. Hopefully soon I can start on some of it. As for stepping out of my comfort zone, my entire life is outside my comfort zone these days. I just hope soon to have the resources to dive into some of the projects that have been waiting (and waiting) for me to get to. And yes, to go bold, with some of it. :-)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652303932965545516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-79025191932075227872011-09-22T08:18:58.549-04:002011-09-22T08:18:58.549-04:00I love nice bold colors!

Also, did you sand before or after wax?<br /><br />I'm not into distressing normally, but I like what you did with this.

I tend to like the pastels better for my own space but there's definitely room for every color of the rainbow somewhere or other. I don't know how you find all these very cute pieces of furniture. You are becoming such an expert refinisher.
