Curves for Days Here With This Coral Red Chest Furniture Makeover

So, let's finish off this week with a beautiful color combination! 

I used products from General Finishes for this furniture makeover.  Even if you don't love coral, I think you will like how these colors compliment one another.

This piece is #3 of Part III in my 

summer "Doors" Series!

I used Tuscan Red, Coral Crush, Patina Green and Antique White to achieve this layered bohemian look. 

I just LOVE these colors!! 

You can find more of my makeovers inspired by "Doors" from around the world, Here, Here, and Here. 

I'm having so much fun with this series and I hope you all are enjoying them as well!

Blessings for a wonderful weekend,

Hand Painted Mustard Yellow Accent Table Makeover You Don't Want to Miss!

Okay, so it's been awfully dreary and unusually chilly here in Oklahoma lately.  I'm not necessarily complaining but I need some sunshine! Sometimes you have to make it yourself.

"How wonderful yellow is, it stands for the sun".

See, now that's better.  Yellow is energetic and happy.  I added the teal because, well, they compliment one another so well.  I think this antique wash stand can be used just about anywhere in your home, don't you?

Yep, that's a little metallic paint in there, again, energetic and happy! Look at how that paint just highlights that wonderful wood grain.  I created as much texture as I could possibly get in there. 

This piece is available on my Etsy website, The Turquoise Iris. Check out my new shop look, by the way.  

This is the image I have pinned on my Pinterest page. I tried to replicate the colors and also the finish.  My goal is to always create a "one of a kind" piece of furniture.  Being original is often scary and I always feel vulnerable every single time I post my furniture makeovers on social media.  I feel so much gratitude for the lovely comments I have received about this series.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Ultra Chic Striped Dresser with Glass Knobs

I pinned this picture on Pinterest a couple of years ago. It's a candy stripe window in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. I absolutely LOVE the colors and the bold contrast with the white. "A is for Angie" pinned it originally. 

I planned to do the exact colors but decided to change the golden yellow to coral.  The hardware is all silver glass. Frog Tape is so easy to use and helps with clean sleek lines.  I love it!

This dresser is available for $495.00.  I'm linking up to Miss Mustard Seed's Friday Furniture Feature.  Click the link and enjoy all the fabulous makeovers....inspiration for days!!!!

Happy Wednesday!

Gray and Gold French Set

This is a custom order I've been working on this week.  I still have to paint the chest of drawers but here are a few photos of the finished dresser and nightstand.

Before and After...sorry for the poor quality photos.  I didn't even bring these in our house to stage.  I'm delivering today!

Grays are so hard to choose...too blue or too green.  I LOVE this one, though.  Paint color is, After the Rain, by Clark Kensington.

Happy Friday to ALL!!!

Teal, Turquoise & Gold Buffet

This is another one of those pieces I passed by week after week.  It was so dirty and neglected looking.  This color combo was holding strong in my head for awhile though and realized, "hello"?? this is the piece for those colors!  

They are rich, deep and traditional.  I added the pop of dark orange for the photos because the colors compliment so well. 

Honestly, this looks lovely in our own house...hmmmm.

Nobody else wanted this piece but me!  So glad when that happens! What about you, have you ever been in that same situation?

Have a gorgeous day!!

A Bunch of Green Goodness

I wanted to share this makeover I just finished.  This will now become a "big girl bed" for sweet 3 year old Ava. I sure hope she loves this half as much as I do!  Seriously, I would have died and gone to heaven if my 3 year old self was given a bed like this. 

Happy weekend, Everyone!!

Vintage Armoire in Tiffany Blue

I have a new piece available today and I am loving the colors.  I used these gorgeous knobs from Anthropologie for my color inspiration and mixed various paint colors to get two that compliment perfectly.

Looking forward to the days of "green grass". That brown dead stuff doesn't make for very pretty photos! Happy week, Everyone:-)

I know it's bold, I know it's different and I know it's not for everyone.  But, I love it...Absolutely and completely.  And, if it doesn't sale, I get to keep it!!

I found this paper and knew this piece would be getting to know this print very well.  I love the insets with the gold trimmed pieces. It's a "One of a Kind" for sure.

Here is what the buffet looked like before I started the makeover.

 I'll be sharing this before and after with Marion over at Miss Mustard Seed's Friday Furniture Features.
