Mid Century Modern Dresser in Coral Red

I've always been in search of really cool textiles.  My all time favorite designer is Amy Butler. Her design aesthetic is absolutely what I would choose if I had her talent. 
Sometimes, I paint pieces purely by how they make me feel. Such as, this piece I just finished.  I mixed 3 different Benjamin Moore colors to get just the shade of coral red I had in mind.


 I applied this fun graphic paper to just two of the drawers.

Hope you enjoy this pop of color!  Heeeelloooo, Spring!  Bring it on;)

Vintage Set of Two Mint Green Tables

Love, love, love when I find a "set" of furniture!
Pair these with this color and I'm completely smitten. 
I painted these and lightly distressed, now they're ready for to add charm and color to some little one's room. 
Check out the "after" photos.

Make it a good one, friends;)

My New Favorite Staging Pieces

After I received the Anthropologie vase with the red flower on it for my birthday, I went back to the store and bought the gray one with the pansy on it.  
These are so gorgeous, I just wanted to share.

You will get tired of seeing these staged with my furniture pieces...I'm sure of it:)

Happy Easter, my friends!

Mint Vintage Dresser

Mint is such a hot color this season, I had to get into it with my paint, also! I am seeing it in fashion, home decor and jewelry. This piece would be a show stopper in any room but I would especially LOVE to see it in a nursery paired with navy and white. Or, better yet, it would be gorgeous in a master bedroom with tons of white textured linens!





This new piece is listed on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris.

Indigo Blue Dresser with Wooden Owl Knobs

As soon as I saw this piece, I knew I needed to paint one geared towards little fellas. I love the clean straight lines of this solid mid-century dresser. The drawers were perfect for this faux bois paper I've been dying to use. Then, I found these adorable wooden owl knobs...a little indigo paint and it's finished and ready for a rowdy little boy!

Here's a close up of this chest "before" the transformation.

Is it Teal? Or Emerald?

This was such a fun piece to re-finish!
I could not decide if I wanted it teal, turquoise, or emerald...so, I mixed it all in one can to get this deep jewel toned shade. 
The coral accents are like sweet little kisses to it;) and the peacock paper I added to the drawer fronts just makes my heart smile!


 I was inspired by some of my favorite jewelry pieces for this color combination.
