This is why I haven't updated...

I happened to go to an estate sale a few weeks ago and saw this. I LOVED it. However, my heart spoke faster then my head. This has been my longest project EVER. I love it though. At first I was so upset when I started it. The thoughts going through my head were..."I am waisting my money, I reined it with BRIGHT orange paint, WHAT AM I THINKING????" Then a thought occurred to me...I need to distress and tone it down. So, I went to the store and bought some stain. I sanded it down and put stain on it and I LOVE IT!!! It is not quit done but here is where it is at.
BEFORE: (I almost forgot to take a shot so it has half primer)

IN BETWEEN: It is not quite finished yet:)
