Distressing Some Junk

The magazine rack turned file folder holder didn’t look quite dirty and distressed enough, so I added white, black and brown paint and dirtied them up a bit.
Before
 During
After
I added the brown/black staining technique to the little green shelf too.
Before
 After
The big scoop was from Aunt Gin’s stuff. 

 Aren't they such a cute couple!
It was that maple color that was so popular when she bought it.
This is not a before, of course, I forgot to take a before! This is a similar item
  But I’ve been seeing it as dirty black with a waxed finish ever since I got it! 
I hope she would approve of me painting it.
I can see her face all scrunched up saying “She put whaaaat on it?”  
Can’t you?
