Change from Chaos Quote

Today, I am loving this quote from Barb Blair,   http://knackstudios.com/quotage-46/

Very true...

Bali Hai Desk and Chair in White and Chevron

I found this set the last week and did some research on the collection and found out it was very popular and sought out after.  So, I am even more happy to have the opportunity to bring it to a new life!  See the transformation below...

Was nice one day...really long ago;)

Ahh...there we go...clean, bright and modern.  This desk and chair set can be purchased here on my Etsy Shop!

Have a bright and sunny day, 

wherever you are!

"Be Still My Heart" Turquoise and Ikat

This rich glossy shade of turquoise screams, 

"Take me to the blue sea"! 

Well, that could just be me screaming... Anyway, 

I have primed and painted this cabinet, then replaced the pulls with silver, more modern ones.

This piece will blend in to your modern styled home! 

Use in your entry, living or loft area. 

It's the perfect size for a 27" flat screen tv and 2 shelved inside to house small components.

 I could also see this in a child's room stuffed full of little toys, 

books or lovies. 

This furniture piece can be purchased 

Here on my Etsy Shop!

It's Been A Fun Week!

Here are a few new furniture pieces I have been working on this week!  I am enjoying the mild temperature!

Beauty is not always in the eye of the beholder...not with this table. Show me someone who can say that this color isn't dreamy? 
I have primed and painted in the glossy blue color and replaced the original knobs with these crystal like ones. D-I-V-I-N-E.
Use next to your sofa, chaise or bed. Top is the perfect size for your bedside bedside lamp and the small drawer can house your remotes or hide your yummy dark chocolates;) The lower shelf is perfect for your latest issue of House Beautiful!

Available Here On My Etsy Shop.

 This is such a beautiful design for a shelving unit! I have nothing to this other than clean and photograph it. The wood has aged so naturally, the grain and textures shows so well at any angle. This piece is heavy, solid and strong...beautiful construction!

Use just about anywhere in your home! Perfect for extra dining room storage, living or bedroom or if you have a large bathroom, house your towels and soaps in apothecary jars here. Three adjustable shelves.

Available Here on My Etsy Shop.

Sold;)

I am looking forward to working on what's waiting for me in the garage...

Kelly Green anyone?

Whimsical!!!

I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colors. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.

Here's a little "non-browns" for your pleasure today! 

Just finished these adorable little tables!

Green Goodness

This chest has to be the oldest piece of furniture I have EVER 

painted.  No kidding, but I really love it so much!

I have been just staring it it going over different ideas 

and color ways to bring it to 2012 and away from the 1930's.

 Awesome delicate handles...thank you!

 Then, I saw this photo of this incredibly cool room!

Love it love it love it love it love it.

And here is what I came up with, simple and 
rustic with fresh modern colors. I did not use the 
colors from above...I found my own;)

Use this dresser in your little one's nursery or add extra storage in you mudroom or playroom!
I have sanded, painted and topped it off with a light coat of stain to give it extra texture and depth. The hardware is original but I added some gold paint to them.


This dresser is for sale ON MY ETSY SHOP, 
The Turquoise Iris!


Hope you have a delightful day!

Teal Gets My Vote...as Usual!

So, after I narrowed it down to teal or kelly green or sapphire, I chose the teal!  I just couldn't stand it, had to. Again, here is the before and the after, to follow.

How wonderful would this be in ANY ROOM of your home? The style coordinates with modern or traditional and anywhere in between. The color compliments colors from shades of yellow, reds or bright white. 

I have sanded, primed and painted this piece in a satin teal finish. The top has a clear coat of poly for added protection. I painted a sheer coat of gold paint on the hardware and the top 4 knobs have been replaced with these gold and bronze beaded ones.

Use this dresser in your bedroom, in your living room with a television on top, in your entry for a bold statement or how beautiful would this be in a little baby's nursery? Three large drawers would hold many tiny pajamas.

As usual, this piece can be purchased 

here on my ETSY SHOP!

Thanks to all for their vote!
