Cradle Revisited

Remember this vintage baby cradle?I've had several people come look at it in the hopes of buying it for dolls. When they get here, they're always shocked at how large the cradle actually is. I decided that I'd better take some more pictures of it, but this time show it a little more to scale. What better way than a shower for a baby girl.
My table is 60" x 60", and the cradle filled it quite well.

And for your viewing pleasure, here's what I did with those doors:

Before and After: Vintage Baby Cradle

As promised, here she is:

(Yes, that's our trampoline. And yes, that's where I do most of my painting. Who wants a boring, plain, old trampoline? The paint gives it character, I say... ;) ) I bought this charming vintage baby cradle at a nearby antique store months ago. My motivation has been lacking, though, until recently, so it's been patiently waiting in the attic.

As you can tell in the above picture, after wiping it down, I sprayed it with a thin layer of black paint. Then, I broke out my trusty Heirloom White from Home Depot (Are you noticing a trend in my most recent paint color obsession?) and went to town. After letting it dry for a day, I got out my hand sander and went to town. Here's the end result:

This is just the kind of piece I love to work on. I just can't get enough of the distressed look. Next up? A chunky, rustic hutch...
