So as everyone that knows me knows that I am not at all crafty or creative, I had never ever painted a piece of furniture until this last week. Ray's mom (aka: grandma funny) came to visit us from Texas this past weekend. She is so talented and I think can do just about anything.
We have had these old pieces of furniture for several years, they belonged to Ray's great aunt. They are great pieces of furniture but the color was horrible. I guess 40 or 50 years ago yellow was a good color to paint furniture, not just any yellow but a dingy yellow. So grandma funny came to "help" us refinish the furniture. She came up with this great idea of painting it this beautiful blue that matched the chair I had bought and then put a glaze over the top. The best part about this is that the paint we used with the glaze we got at Home Depot for only $1. It was in the "oops" bin, and we fell in love with it.
Here is the finished product it is hard to tell the colors my camera didn't do it justice. The next piece she got all crazy with and I just love it. Thanks grandma funny we love you.

Oh my gosh, I have to sit down, you actually posted again!! Are you okay? Maybe you had better sit down.
Just kidding! I love the new "look" of your furniture!! The chair is super cute too. I'm glad you and Grandma Funny had a good time, its to bad she can't live here and you could craft all the time. I can't wait to come see it.
I am always so excited to see when people do these kinds of things to old furniture and make them look neat. I am so impressed they look great. It makes me feel like I might be able to do something like this also, well maybe, I am so not very crafty.
