Raise your hand if you’re ready for a great piece of painted furniture! I have a backlog of pieces to share with you guys–there’s been lots of painting going on to keep the Studio full, but not quite as much time for blogging! A while back I ran out...
I’m always so happy when it’s time to share another furniture makeover with you guys! I get all giddy while editing the photos and writing up the post . . . It’s just so much fun to watch a piece transform. For today’s makeover, we have this...
Sometimes an old piece of furniture doesn’t need any paint at all to bring it back to life. Like this antique oak chest of drawers I found recently at my local ReStore. Beautiful, warm, solid oak. About as sturdy of a piece of furniture as you will ever...
Hi Friends! I’m so excited to share this makeover today. It’s elegant, classy, but bold and bright. It’s totally in my wheelhouse but then a little out of my comfort zone at the same time . . . So it’s just a fun one to share. I got this chest...
I have a great makeover to share with you today!! I’ve been doing a good bit of painting over the past week or so, trying to fill in my empty antique mall booth space. For most of November and December it was full, but then something happened in early January,...
I had the pleasure of working on making over a vintage Thomasville gentleman’s chest recently. Blogger 101 fail . . . I forgot to take a before picture of the chest, so this is the picture my client provided. This chest had belonged to my...
If you’re a furniture makeover fan, today is your lucky day!I have a great one to share with you, featuring another color from the brand new Fusion Mineral Paint Tones for Tots Collection. Last week I shared a makeover using Little Lamb and Little Stork, which...
A while back a friend posted on Facebook that she was giving away a vintage Dixie bedroom set–a full-size bed with headboard and footboard, along with a chest of drawers. I waited for a bit (I think maybe a day) before I commented that I would gladly take it, to...
I will admit it–I am a nerd. I like to watch “educational” tv shows where I learn random tidbits of information. One such show I watched awhile back was called Filthy Riches, on the National Geographic Channel. The show chronicles a few different...
A few weeks ago at one of my favorite local flea markets, I ran into a frequent Fusion Mineral Paint customer of mine. My customer and her husband are actually regular vendors at the market and she was so kind to show me through her booth. I love getting to know my...
The end of the year is approaching, which means it’s time for all those “Best of 2015” posts 🙂 I enjoy looking back at the stats from the year and seeing, overall, what you all enjoyed the most. And I get to relive the makeovers a little bit in the...
I found this little chest of drawers at last month’s flea market. I loved the dual tone of the wood drawer fronts and wish I could have salvaged them, but the piece was pretty beaten up. The problem with these modern-lined pieces is that once you paint...
So I shared with you a few days ago some furniture prep and cleaning tips, and gave you a peek at my new makeover project: I came across this gorgeous french provincial bedroom set this summer while responding to an ad on Craigslist for a cast iron bed. The lady who...
Every once in awhile I stumble upon a really easy furniture piece to makeover. It’s so nice when a piece comes to me sturdy, with no chipped veneer or missing knobs, no broken drawer bottoms . . . just in need of new paint. I don’t buy these easy...
Happy Friday everyone! Today I am so excited to be the featured shop owner at Coastal Charm’s weekly feature “Shop Talk”. When Linda asked me to be the guest for the week, I was honored and thrilled to share a little more about Lost & Found...
I promised you all in my last post some “after” photos of this cute little chest I recently bought. It was a Craigslist find, and in really good shape. I love the 4-drawer size too, it’s just kind of petite and fits well into most any...
I had some good luck this past week with some neat new pieces. I think spring cleaning must be well underway because people are getting rid of some good stuff! Have you ever bought anything from a Facebook sale group? If you are on Facebook, you can find groups to...
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We enjoyed our family time together, although I have to admit I am glad to get back to “normal” today. Christmas day started nice and early in our house, so we were all quite tired. Before the holiday got into...
I finished one of my projects! Yay!! It is such a great feeling to mark something completely off of your list. This week started out a little rough because of a nasty cold we had going around our house. But after a trip to the doctor, some antibiotics, and some...
