Gorgeous Vintage Turquoise Chest & a Short Video Clip

This is the second piece of the five I'm painting in cold color inspired by old doors from around the world.  I'm always pinning images to my "doors" board on Pinterest. So, I asked myself why do I love these so much and my answer is the colors, the authentic look of wear and the structural shapes of the doors themselves.  Painting like this and dreaming about my next makeover keeps my brain energized and fulfills my creative nature.  

Have a look!



When I began staging, I looked around everywhere and could not come up with the perfect art piece for the wall.  So, I ran to Hobby Lobby for a canvas and made my own using the colors from the dresser. 




BEFORE & AFTER








Like the first of this series, this dresser sold in just a few minutes of being listed on my Etsy shop!  I have so many great customers!!!

Thank you and have a wonderful day!,

Emerald Green Buffet / Dresser Distressed & a Shot of Cobalt & Feathers

I know I posted too many photos, but I couldn't help myself.  This piece has so many details that couldn't be left out. See what I mean?


 I've been dying to use my peacock chair to stage a piece...they are perfect together!

 In case you're wondering...I used 4 colors on this piece! 

 Love this image...
If you need this piece for your home, you can purchase it HERE, on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris.

Falling Hard for Sapphire Blue

I have just as much fun styling a piece of furniture as I do actually painting it.  So...I have again, styled this accent table 3 different ways.  Let me now which 
one you prefer;) just cause I'm curious.
Matching dresser will be done soon and 
I will style that 3 ways, too!
Below is the booooring "before" picture.

After some more sanding, priming and painting, this Mid Century Modern side table turned out pretty great!

"Vintage Modern"


"Traditional Modern"

"Coastal Modern"

Now it's time to work on the coordinating dresser!
This table is for sale
HERE on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris!!
