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?

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

“Eden and Ella”

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 see

 

 

*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” better

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

OOPS…

I don’t know about you, but when I go to Lowe’s or Home Depot (or heck, even Wal-mart), I check out their oops paints… For the past few weeks I’ve accumulated quit a collection!

I’m actually surprised at the colors I’ve found! I mean seriously, how often do you stumble upon so many pretty abandoned colors???

One of those colors is going to find its way on this pretty little piece!

Okay, so I’ve really already started paint it

I’ll share pictures soon!

TURQUOISE LOVE…

I wanted to share a sneak peek of the side tables with you! I must admit, these are a pain when it comes to painting. The legs are what killed me. I happy with the outcome, but with my boys being home on summer break, I was only able to finish one.

I decided to try a little distressing. Maybe I’ll try this technique a little more

The big question now is should I keep the original hardware or should I replace them. I personally like original hardware.

Last picture…

The hardest part about starting a business like this one is that I want to keep everything! I think these would look great in my family room!

What do you think?!
