Welcome!

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a recent graduate who is desperately looking for work. So in the mean time, I buy and make-over used furniture for some spare cash. Here's my journey.

The Chair Started it All

I bought this chair on Craigslist and it sparked a sensation!


But more on that later. So I purchased this chair a little scuffed and stark white. Blinding white. It was very boring to say the least. So, I went to Home Depot and bought Rustoleum Antiquing glaze, and added black paint to the glaze, courtesy of AllThingsThrifty.com. This look gave the chair an amazing distressed look; it makes the nooks and crannies really stand out. You're looking at the final product, which is currently for sale on Craigslist right now.

So someone saw this chair on Craigslist and didn't want this chair per say, but she liked my talent. She asked me to create a custom piece for her, a chair to her liking with a few requirements and a lot of wiggle room for creativity. I'm running wild with the possibilities, I'm so excited! I feel that this is such an honor. Already, people like my work enough to ask for custom items! I hope this works out. This chair needs to pay for my unfortunate parking ticket.
