Rubbish to Resplendent

 Aug 3, 2011

Stephanie is from Australia where they call things like this big, busted up and brown piece of furniture "rubbish" instead of "a hunk-o-junk," like us Americans.  Or maybe that's just me.  Still, Americans typically don't say the word "rubbish," which is a shame. It's a fun word.  I'm going to start worming it in to my daily conversations:  "Hi sis, what's new today?  Oh, the baby is sick?  What a fat load of rubbish!"  I might have to work on it. 

See the fabulous transformation up close on Stephanie's blog Stephlee Photography.

Perfectly perfect! Wow - what a gorgeous piece! I have a sideboard that needs this exact treatment so I know I will be referring back to this project for inspiration. Just beautiful!
