Flea Market Finds

I promised I'd share the treasures I found at the 

Springfield Flea Market last Friday, so here they are, all

decked out in fall attire and ready to go

to Market Day on Saturday.

 

This credenza came already painted black and was lightly distressed.  Unfortunately, the paint job was not the best quality, with lots of 

brush marks and a bumpy finish.  I sanded it when I

got it home, but much to my dismay, my sanding did not

remove the brush marks, but did remove more

paint, so now it is heavily distressed.  I actually like it better now.  

It seems to have more character, even if it has the unsightly brush marks.

  I really love this piece, so if it doesn't sell at Market Day, it's

going to get a thorough sanding job and will be

painted a cream color and find a new home upstairs

in my guest room that I'm redecorating.

The other piece I found is a small desk or maybe it could be a phone desk.

  It came with a small chair and both were the color you see in the picture.

 

I will probably try to sell them as a set, but I would also separate 

them if someone only wanted one piece.  I think the chair would look 

nice with a teddy bear sitting on it, especially at Christmas time.

Here is a picture of my credenza that I altered by fooling around

with the image filter in Photoshop.  I didn't get quite

the abstract look I was going for and maybe it's not even that 

noticeable, but it was still fun.

This is the colored pencil filter.  Weird colors, but still kind 

of pretty.

And another filter.
