So do you want to see????

I got the piece of furniture finished for the give away.  Can I just tell you how excited I was to keep it give it away.  I think out of all the pieces I have done this one just might have been my favorite so far.   Before I show you the pictures I just want to tell you a little about Petra.  She is super thrifty she even has a blog about being thrifty Frugalityville  Petra was born in England, like one of the oldest countries in the world.  When she was young her parents and family moved to the states.  They moved to Maryland.  On of the oldest states there is.  She has such a rich heritage, I wanted this piece to reflect her history.  I know I am a little silly but that is the kinda things I think about when I am doing a piece of jewelry or whatever for a specific person.
So without further ado, here it is.  Please don't mind my poor point and shoot camera skills......
 Before
Mike this one is for you.






After
 





Oh and check out the little mirror I found at the DI for 1.50.  I have been lusting over the Krylon Celadon Green.  I have been waiting for just the right piece to do, which is funny because I have that color green in 4 areas of the house.











Before, don't you just love the detail
