Red and Turquoise Antique Hutch

There are several things about this piece that I love.  First, the two colors together are simply complimentary.  A tomato red works off any intensity of turquoise.  This is why we always see coral red and turquoise jewelry.  They are stunning together!!
 



Secondly, I am loving the detail on this piece.  It's not over done, just the right amount of design which I decided at the last minute to highlight with gold.



 
And lastly, the size of this piece is perfect.  It's not so large that 2 people can easily move it around and it will fit into just about any space.  I can see it just about any room of the house... office, entry, hallway, bath, dining / kitchen or even a nursery.


This piece is available for sale on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris!
I hope you all have a fun sunny day!!

Teal and Gold Vanity

This is a vanity I painted for my sweet neighbor, Charis.  Her parents asked me to paint it for her 8th birthday. I love how it turned out...hope she does too!!
 

 



Happy Monday!!

Navy Blue, Gold & White Vintage Dresser

BOOM-SHAK-A-LAKA!!!
 
I really don't want to give this back.  It would be so very perfect in our bedroom. It matches the ikat bedding so well.  This makeover may have moved right on up to my top 5!
 




 
 
There is also a night stand and mirror I've painted to match.  My clients are picking them up today.  This guest bedroom of theirs will be stunning when paired with their white velvet curtains and white bedding. Don't you think?

Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Blue Ikat with White and Gold

Give me ikat, give me blue and white, and give me gold? You have me forever! I love this designer combination. This finished piece reminds me of a coastal beach house right out of Serena & Lily catalog.



I've painted the base a creamy white and highlighted the feet by adding a shimmering gold. Hardware has been painted the same gold. I added the designer ikat paper to the drawer fronts for a unique one of a kind look! 




This piece is looking for a home!  You can check it out HERE. I hope some sunshine finds it way to you today! Happy weekend:-)
