A Pie Safe Transformed!

Remember the pie safe I picked up 2 months ago for $25.00 at a yard sale? I love the piece, but with the 80's blue, the heart cut out and the missing glass it needed a little TLC.

First step... take it all apart and sand. I opted to remove the heart cut out piece on the top and just leave it plain.Sometimes, when doing a project, you need a new tool or two. I thought this piece would give me the perfect excuse to buy the paint sprayer I've been wanting.A big thank you to my father in law for loaning me his heavy duty air compressor.I had a little trouble figuring out exactly how much air vs. how much paint for the first little while on my new toy ( I hate reading directions) but by the time I painted the last piece I felt like I had the hang of it. Here she is all dressed up...A closer look...I'm not sure if the camera is showing off the new glass or not. We have a friend in the area that specializes in decorative glass. He brought us a ton of samples and we chose the "New German Antique" glass. I thought $100 was a great price for custom cut, decorative glass. It has just a subtle wave to it, so it doesn't completely distort what's being displayed inside. Here's another look...

Even closer...The knobs are from Hobby Lobby of course.

I'm sure I'll be changing up the display from time to time, but this is what I'm starting with...

So, we went from this...

To this...

Amazing what a little paint can do. Love, Kelly.
