Wooden Chair Makeover

I found a cool weathered and worn wooden chair at a yard sale for $5.

My hubby and I loved it at first sight.

Here's how it looks now.

Here's how it started off.

I liked how worn it looked.

My hubby said to leave it be.

But I had my sander out. . .

and I thought that I would just sand it a little.

Well, I sanded and sanded

until I got this.

Then I thought that the wood looked so dry and well, thirsty.

So I applied one coat of Hemp Oil.

I love how it looks now.

Not only is it pretty, but it's completely sturdy.
(unlike some chairs I've bought secondhand!)

Thanks so much for stopping by and God bless.

And my tongue should speak of Your righteousness 

and of Your praise all the day long.

Psalm 35:28

Giving New Life to an Old Pulley

Have you ever tried Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil Wood Finish?

I happened to get some for Christmas (Thanks Mom!),
and I wanted to see what it could do.

So I got out an old wooden pulley that I had picked up at an antique store.

  

 

(the front)
Here's the pulley now- after only one coat.
 

 

 

(the back)

The oil was so easy to use.

 

 

(the side)
I just wiped it across all the surfaces being sure that I got it in all the nooks and crannies.
Then I let it dry for two hours.

 

Here's what it looked like when I got it-old and faded -although still beautiful.

 

The wood just looked thirsty and dry.
The lady at the shop suggested that I put some wood finish on it.

 

You can go here to see how I came across this gem.

 

 I am not associated with this company.
 

Thanks so much for stopping by and God  bless.

Fear not, for I am with you;

be not dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you,

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10
