Updated Jewelry Box

When Jamie came to pick up the grey dresser and nightstand,

she brought me this big jewelry box stand.

 

 

She said her husband had given it to her when she was 17,

so she was quite attached to it...

Just not crazy about the color of the wood anymore...

Ed ora, ecco, ASCP.... :)

 

 

  Again, I used my favorite, Pure White with clear and dark wax.

 



 

I spray painted the pulls with oil-rubbed bronze.

 

 

And I must say, I love it. I'm on the hunt now to find one for myself...

Although, I'm sure mine would eventually be filled with crayons and legos...

random game pieces and matchbox cars...

etc, etc, etc.... :)

 

Hope you have some fun today!





For Jasmine Laing

I'm putting this child size table and chair set up for bid on the

"Charitable Givers of Eastern Idaho" Facebook page.

 Proceeds for this auction go to the Laing family who just lost their daughter Jasmine.

There are many wonderful items up for bid.

Please take a gander and see if anything strikes your fancy.

It's for a wonderful cause!



 

 

 

Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

 

The Legless Buffet

When I came across this buffet my heart skipped a beat.

It was the only piece in a local antique mall that I could begin to afford...

and it was priced WAY too high for it's condition.

I tried walking away a few times,

but I just couldn't leave it there.

I really wanted to see this thing transformed!

You can see the veneer was in very poor condition...

The doors were missing, and the legs at some point had been cut off.

But still...

Can't you see the possibilities?

So Mark took his monster 12" planer to it and the veneer was a goner.

I painted it with ASCP in "pure white" and used clear and dark wax.

Stained the top, and drawer embellishments, added a wood embellishment of my own,

and some new pulls....

And the transformation is complete!

I think this one is a keeper!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Make it a wonderful day!

Modern Vintage Makeover

I bought this dresser set a while back, and could NOT decide what to do with it. It was in incredible shape, absolutely nothing wrong with it, dove tailed connections and everything... It had SO many possibilities! And there it sat. :)

Until Jamie called me... she wanted it for her sons room and she wanted it GREY.

Brilliant. Of course! GREY!

She only wanted the tall dresser and the nightstand.

Her plan is to add some orange pulls and put it in her sons room.

I think it's going to look so stinking cool!

So I departed the text a bit with the remaining dresser... I liked the GREY theory,

but I wanted to bring in a little WOOD as well.

(My two favorite colors! )

I'm loving how it turned out. Very striking.

Very vintage... and  modern...

Don't know if Mark will let me sell this one... He digs it.

Have a great day!!

Mom's Side Tables...

Who's ready for a quick "before and after?"

Here's a photo of the one side table I bought at a garage sale many years ago, and it's twin I found last weekend...

My mom wanted them painted in "Emperor's Silk," for her guest bedroom... what a great choice!

Have a wonderful day!





Hutch in "French Linen"

This old hutch was really in perfect condition when I found it.

The finish was dull in spots, and just needed a little update...

"BEFORE"

Aaaaand........"AFTER"

Painted in Annie Sloan's "French Linen"

with clear and dark soft wax finish,

with oil rubbed bronze cup pulls and knobs.

French Linen is one of my all time favorite colors, I just love it!

(I had to redo the drawers twice, because I didn't realize the wood filler didn't quite take the first time....)

And who knew my dad had such awesome old books at his house?

Score!

Have a wonderful day!
