Coral French Provincial Dresser & Mirror

I realize I painted this, but I'm still swooning over the combination of the dresser and color. Together they are so striking, right? This is a custom piece I painted for little Miss Marley.  She will not arrive for a few more weeks, but once she does, her nursery will be perfect for her! I am definitely excited to see the completely decorated room!




Thanks for all of your continued support!  
I hope you have a warm sunny weekend.

Vintage Yellow Dresser Distressed & Accented with Teal

I've been craving yellow, although I think it's actual sunshine I've been after, this color makes me just as happy.  This dresser was pretty boring but in mint condition so I gave it a make over in yellow with teal accents.  
Whatcha think?


 This combination of rustic and glitz reminds me of denim and cashmere...sophisticated comfort.

This piece is for sale on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris.


And, here is a before picture.
Just sitting there calling my name, wink...wink!

Teal Vintage Dresser / Buffet

I custom painted this piece for Erin of NJ.  She bought a yellow piece from me recently and wanted some color for her dining area as well. Hope she loves this!! 



I also added these 2 cracked glass knobs from Anthroplolgie...in case this piece isn't dramatic enough...wink, wink;)




I found these lamps at a thrift shop for $6.98 for both and painted them this happy sunny yellow gloss.  I thought I'd just use them for staging, bit I think I really like them with my peacock shades.


This piece was already pretty great before...
take a look!

Mint Green Distressed Dresser

I simply cannot get enough of this mint color! It is so warm yet bold as well.




This is paper, not paint...although maybe some day I will have the skill to paint something like this!

Have a beautiful day!!

Hounds tooth Dresser in Robin's Egg Blue

Oh my goodness...this dresser turned out really better than I expected! I can't seem to capture the details of this dresser by camera. The pictures just do not give it the justice it deserves. Have a look!

This is paper...not paint:) 





Here's a look at the before shot...

Mid Century Modern Dresser, Color Blocked and Cool

MCM style dressers are super hard to come by these days! So, when I come across one, I jump at the chance to either paint or re-finish it. I chose to paint this one a gorgeous shade of blue and added the silver for a fun, mod, color block look. Oh my goodness...this one will be hard to let go of...I LOVE it! 




I don't have a particular style or furniture design that I love the most.  I tend to fall for pieces that are just pretty...I like pretty.  That's why my home is such an eclectic  mix of old and new, shiny and dull.  I just like pretty:)

 ***BEFORE PHOTO***

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! The sun has just shown it's cheery face, so I'm headed out!
