<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I want to share with you a makeover that I made couple of months ago. I was re-decorating my daughter's room and I used a little desk that I had and renew it for her room. Obviously my scheme color is totally different to her, LOL, so I grab my paints, the desk and a Ethan Allen chair and started this project. Both pieces are Goodwill finds which means less than $25, not bad for a complete set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First, I sanded down both pieces and the wood was in perfect condition. Cleaned well to remove any particle, painted and sanded again to give a distressed look. Then stained using Minwax</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, one of my favorites. These are the pictures of both pieces, before and after.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After pictures,</span></div>

One piece at a Time<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #625a3d; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #625a3d; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">This is my first blog post for Wood and Paint Go Together. My main purpose is Recycle, Renew ... One piece at a time. I'm pretty excited about this new blog. Few years ago I started " Blogging" and I have other blogs I maintain that even open but decide to create a new one for my love of wooden pieces, painting and makeovers.</span><span style="color: #625a3d; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="color: #625a3d; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">I have been so inspired by other bloggers like me which love painting furniture, or give new life to an old or abused piece. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #625a3d; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have learned so much in the "blog land", and I just want to be one of the girls that help others to make new things, change furniture and give new looks to a piece without spend much money or finding the correct piece in a Thrift store, with a friend, at the dump or maybe one that you already have and change it without breaking your budget.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #625a3d; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">So here I am, in a new adventure, hoping that in a future, someone can gain a little " knowledge or ideas" from me as much I have gained through the generosity of so many girls during the past years. Thank you for visit my new blog. I will be sharing the furniture tutorials that I made in my other blog soon, so you can enjoy them too, like other girls enjoyed them in the past.</span></span></div>
