Ombre' Buffet Makeover in All of My Favorites

So, I forgot to things this week! Both of which, made me so mad:-/

First, I realized two days after my weekly grocery shopping trip that I left the 24 pack of bottled water in the bottom of the cart.  Yep, I guess I left it for someone else to use...grrrr!

Second, I forgot to take a before photo of this buffet. This is not the first time this has happened and will not be the last.  It better be the last time I forget about the water bottles, though! 

I was too excited to start painting this piece that I had it finished before I remembered.

These gorgeous knobs are Jadeite and gold and super gorgeous!

I love how this photo shows the colors fading so well. Three of the four are on walls in my own house!

Oklahoma suffered an ice storm 2 weeks ago and my brother in law grabbed me some fallen curly willow branches.  I love using them in photos and in our own home.

This piece is for sale on my Etsy shop, Here.

You guys have yourself a great week!  For now, I'm enjoying this 65 degree weather we are having this week! Woot!

The Royal Blue Peacock Buffet

I present to you, Her Royal Peacock.  

This piece turned out very dramatic.  The blue, with the gold, combined with the peacock makes for quite an appearance! 

I think she is just. so. lovely.

This is a poster applied to the doors, not paint.  I sold this piece before I could even post this but I still wanted to share it.  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Teal Vintage Dresser / Buffet

I custom painted this piece for Erin of NJ.  She bought a yellow piece from me recently and wanted some color for her dining area as well. Hope she loves this!! 

I also added these 2 cracked glass knobs from Anthroplolgie...in case this piece isn't dramatic enough...wink, wink;)

I found these lamps at a thrift shop for $6.98 for both and painted them this happy sunny yellow gloss.  I thought I'd just use them for staging, bit I think I really like them with my peacock shades.

This piece was already pretty great before...

take a look!

Linking up to Miss Mustard Seed's  Furniture Feature Friday!

Celebrating Being Featured with Lindsey from Better After!!!

I get so giddy when this happens, I don't know why for sure??? Maybe it's that someone who makes a living scouring through images of "before & afters" has chosen to feature one of mine?  Yes, that's why...for sure.  This is so cool for me and I cannot tell you guys how much I appreciate this.  

Thank you, Lindsey!

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.

Emerald Green Credenza...Is That a Peacock?

Oh my green great goodness...it is a peacock!

This is a massive piece of vintage furniture I found last week while out searching for dressers.  Not a dresser, but I love it anyway!  

This could be used for so many things...media console, office desk/credenza, buffet, or a tv console.

I replaced the knobs with these rustic gold ceramic 

ones but left the original pulls. 

And the before pic....just for giggles;)

Solid wood and oh soooo heavy, my friends.

For sale!!
