Remember this?

Remember this??

I asked you to guess what you thought it was going to become... I found it at My Favorite Place.  Yes, although it is one of my favorite places, the name of it really is My Favorite Place.  Its a furniture/knick knack store in Chamblee Ga.  Some people call it a Junk Store, but we know better, right?

Tonight, the lamp found its way to my husband's shop.  He's been gone all week, and don't you just know he was itching to do some projects for me :)  I could have done it myself, but I love it when he gets involved.

Now do you know where this is headed?  Doug says this was a moonshine jug.  Fun story, but I'm not so sure.  Any thoughts?  All I know is, it is now my most-favorite-piece!  You'll find it living on the free-to-me piece (thanks, W & J!) that I made over a few months ago, in our front hall.

There are some initials on it.  See?  Hard to read through all the rust!  I took the original can, cleaned it up, gave it a good sand, and then painted it this turquoise color.  Sanded some more, added some RL tobacco glaze, and presto chango!

I am so tickled with it.  I keep walking by, and turning the light on to stare (and then my husband, our energy conscious half, comes behind me & turns it off!)

Thanks for visiting!  Don't forget to become a follower (left sidebar).  I'm having a giveaway next week (all you have to do to enter is become a follower of this blog)  and it might or might not involve a huge piece from my previous post :)
