I was thinking the Rub & Buff would help too. But now Im worried that wont work bc of your comment about the shininess.

But, my pieces are still just as lovely as when I did them. :) Although, my toddler has just taken a crayon to the nightstand so now I have to devise a plan to wipe it off without damaging my work.

They offered to redo it, but... ah, no. I accepted a healthy compensation considering I got it in an auction years ago for $125. But that's not the point. It's going to be GREAT, if it's half as nice as your pieces are!

I plan to make a wingback tufted headboard for my master bedroom. I got my feet wet with creating a diamond tufted headboard. Now I know exactly what to do to create what I want. I made the first step in purchasing several yards of fabric. Next step is starting making my buttons.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370232611114874828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949203516908738476.post-68807523984673382582013-09-16T17:40:59.626-05:002013-09-16T17:40:59.626-05:00Fantastic!

Oh and the liner paper...I actually did that. I found some on clearance at JoAnns (for only $1.97 a roll) and thought I could use it for the drawers. I found a purple bold print and a green geometric print and used both alternating drawers. I love how it looks. I would love to know how your headboards turn out if you decide to do the project!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370232611114874828noreply@blogger.com
