Primitive Wash Stand - Painted, Finished

This is the painted finish for my Primitive Wash Stand  project. I picked up a litre of oops Turquoise latex Saturday morning. Pretty good deal - $1.50 plus tax.

Mixed up some homemade chalk paint using the oops paint.
The recipe I use is 1/1/6 (1 plaster of paris, 1 warm water, 6 parts latex paint, mix very well).

Side view, door repaired, painted. 
Needed 'something more' so I added Taupe Latex paint accents.

Finished - trimmed with taupe over turquoise.

Dad checking it out.  My Hero !

Love the handles.


Hope you enjoyed seeing this project to completion (see here and here).

Primitive Wash Stand - Repairing

Had a good weekend got a lot done and caught up on sleep.

The wash stand needed glue, clamps, planing, nails, screws, sanding

... some serious reconstruction. 

Since I love carpentry this was a pleasure to work on.

 I brought my tools with me from my weekend trip home, 

used my Dad's clamps and worked in his garage, used his workbench.

 Had a good time. Rebuilt where necessary.

Glued, clamped

rebuilt the door

great view of the underside - looking around for some old dresser wheels 

Great boards from the back view.

Original door knob and wooden closure.

Next up - painting.

Here are a few of shots of my project for the weekend. .  It should be nice and relaxing and not take too much time, I have been pretty busy lately. I will need to do some glueing and clamping, sanding and minor repairs.

This is a piece from Mooseport Sask. I would say it is home made and a Primitive all wood beauty!
