Next project....

Paint the boy friends hall console for Christmas.

I bought this hall stand a while back at a second hand store, had it outside for a while then decided I didn't want it any more.

For xmas I am giving my man an "Entry Make-Over" for his new house. I have bought a few things that will remind him of his trip to Paris last year, they will all center around this console as you walk in his front door.

First step....paint this gloss white. 

And here it is....French Provincial. 

Had a lovely time ripping the top off this with my sander to give it a "used" look.
Then I just oiled it with a good furniture oil. 

Next time you see this console it will be after xmas in his entry after my make over....
