SEEING RED

 I love finding furniture at the flea market. It's always like a treasure hunt that went extremely well.

This little guy was bought at a steal, but it was pretty icky, as most flea market furniture is. But despite that, I saw major potential in this potentially very country hutch.

Someone had added some funky brown streaky paint over the yellow to make it look rustic I suppose. At any rate, rustic doesn't mean it has to be dirty!

A little rough around the edges, but nothing a little paint can't fix.

I was lucky to find a dark red paint in the oops paint section. 

It was ok, but a little bright for my taste. So I had to improvise.

I've just recently began using wax on furniture, but I wanted to have dark wax. So, I decided to mix some dark walnut stain into a bunch of wax. 

Since I took some decent before pictures, my after pictures had to be awful right! Well, atleast you get to see it in its natural habitat.

I think it turned out pretty lovely. Kinda the perfect red. The dark wax is subtle, but just what it needed.

Ta-da! I hope someone likes it and gives it a new home!
