WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO…

With my boys being on summer break, its hard for me to balance my 3 blogs, but I have been working!  Here are a few pieces that I’m working on

This little French table was love at first sight!  This style is probably my favorite style furniture EVER! 

I decided to use one of my “oops” paint colors on her…

Meet “Belle”

She’s painted a beautiful coral! The pull will be painted white.  By the way, do you see my business card?

Swoon Worthy Boutique Business Cards

OMG, I can not say how much I love them!!! The colors, the size (my cards are euro size) and the weight is great! I’ll say it again, I LOVE THEM! Thanks Abby!

 

Another piece that I started on is this little vintage desk I found a few weeks ago

It was pretty beat up.  I thought it would be nice painted in chalkboard paint since it’s a desk.  Again, I pulled out my “oops” paint in which I had a can of chalkboard paint that was mixed but then the person didn’t purchase it…SCORE! This chalkboard paint is a beautiful shade of teal

Meet “Jaime”

I decided to distress her.  It just seemed to fit her better.  What I realized with painting furniture is that the piece itself will speak to you.  I never in a million years thought that I would distress a piece for my business…

I still need to finish the “feet” of the desk, but she’s pretty much done!

And with these side tables

I painted one a pretty turquoise

But the more I look at them, I feel they need to be another color… And perhaps I need to use that famous Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! We’ll seeSmile

 

 

*Side Note* You may notice that I have named each piece.  I am a HUGE fan of Barb and her furniture from Knack Studios.  I told myself that once I got up the nerves to start my own business, I would name my pieces too! So, am I a copy cat?  Yeah, but I like the words “inspired by” betterWinking smile

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
