Oh, This Enormous Solid Wood Desk!

This was a beast of a desk, friends.  My sweet friend, Gina, found it a garage sale and asked me to paint it white for her.  She bought a new home and has gone back to school.  This piece gives her a perfect place to spread out and get some work done. I love the finished look!

I called her after I started painting it and asked if I could add a little "Dionne" to it:)  I could not resist painting those little feet a soft shade of turquoise and I added the knobs from Anthropologie. She was happy to let me as long as I didn't get too crazy!

She loves her new desk, too!  This piece will be around for another 60 years for sure.

Have a happy week, Everyone!

Herringbone Crush

 Friends, if you haven't seen the Serena and Lily catalog, you must order one! They have beautiful home accessories and inspiring photography on their pages.  I chose this herringbone pattern after thumbing through the pages. I love textures and the patterns especially on bath towels and rugs. So, I had to give this a shot, my way off creating a fun modern look for this vintage Bassett Mid Century dresser. 

This piece is for sale on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris.

Rustic Charm in Blues

This old dresser has been in the same family for 40 years...made by my friend's grandfather...with love. I painted it this week and enjoyed every single minute of it! Hoping the family can enjoy it another 40 years. I decided to use nature as my back drop this time and again, my inspiration for the finish comes from the glorious pages of Anthrpologie's catalog:)

And the "before"...

Happy Weekend, Friends!
As usual, I'm linking up to Miss Mustard Seed's

Vintage Armoire in Mint & Creme & Gold

I am giddy with delight here, Friends!!I finished painting this piece yesterday.  I had just as much fun styling it as I did painting it. 

 I found this hardware at Anthropologie recently and knew right away I had to use it on this piece and it needed to be mint! This is in excellent condition, solid wood and has plenty of available storage. The original details are outstanding,I just freshened it up, giving it a new life,don't you agree?

Happy, happy, happy weekend, Friends!

As always...thanks for letting me share my work...I have the best job;)
Party with us at Miss Mustard Seed's furniture Friday!

Vintage French Provincial Triple Dresser in Moody Blues

I painted this piece as a custom for Katelyn from Oklahoma. So glad she brought this dresser to me to paint.  She chose the colors of blue, she chose the piece...I just painted it for her.  And, how I love it!!!

Happy Wednesday, Friends!!

I will be partying with 
Miss Mustard Seed
this week!

French Country Bombay Chest in Gray and Linen

I painted this for a friend using her piece of furniture she had sitting in her entry.  She asked me is to use gray and maybe some creme.  I custom mixed both of these colors and also added the metallic pewter to the beaded trim.  The hardware also received an uplift.  I cannot wait to see her face when we deliver it!!  

Happy Friday, Friends!!

Mid Century Dresser in Yellow & White

This is for all of my mid century friends.  I painted this in the perfect shade of yellow for a modern, clean and fresh look.  The chest in is near perfect vintage condition and solid wood.  I think I have a crush...

I simply cannot be pinned down to one design aesthetic.  I am eclectic, love all furniture styles and just love to paint. This chest is available on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris.
