A BIG GIRL BED FOR A HAPPY LITTLE GIRL

When a client sent me pictures of her happy little girl Lucy, i knew i had to blog about it and I realized how long it 's been since I had. One of the first sales i made on etsy.com was this bed . When I got these pictures it made me so incredibly happy. This makes what I do SOOO worth it. What a joy to bring a smile and happiness to a child. I will blog again soon because I just really have to show off my new antique loveseat i made. I love it so much that I'm not sure i will be able to art with it- it may just have to come home with me....

GREAT OLD BLUE DRESSER

What a great dresser this is ! It is really old circa 1820-1830. Since opening the store i finally decided it was time to paint something in a color other than white. I love white distressed furniture and every piece in my home is white. People were labeling me as the pink and white store, so i figured lets just shake it up a bit and allow some men to comfortably enter with some colors other thank pink and white. Not to mention I wanted to show the range of my painting abilities. I am very proud of the way this came out. I love the distressed look to it. I hope you enjoyed seeing it today, too!:-)

Happy Easter To All

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day . Enjoy all that life has to offer . Surround yourself with beautiful things that make you happy. The most beautiful being the love of friends and family. May your lives be filled with love, happiness and all things beautiful.

The new favorite corner of my store

I love this area of my store. I rearranged a few big items, as well as taking down some of the inspirational window art i had done using all the magazine clippings of loved rooms that I have saved for years. I felt it was time. At first I desperately needed then to take up some wall space in my store when i first opened in November. Now, I had collected a bunch of terrific mirrors that I wanted to bring down to eye's view. As luck would have it- I found a matching pair of vintage chenille bedspreads that i have fashioned into slipcovers. They have wonderful thick fringe. At first I wanted to take them home, but with a teenage kitten\Dusty-cat I should say, He's bigger than my older cat boo boo bear who is 5 now. The bedspreads have tufted loops so i re-thought that, as my Dusty loves to sink his claws into some things. He's a good kitty, but I could visualize these getting a little tattered looking real quick. They are so wonderful and I really love them. I am currently on the hunt for more chenille spreads. I love each chair I do and cant wait to make another. I hope everyone has a great day :-)

Cute Little Pom Pom Stools

I've had these little stools for many years. I purchased them at a discount design store. In there first life they we're black with furry zebra fabric.I would put them around my coffee table and they we're great for friends to gather and talk. I decided, after painting the metal bases, that I would be bold and cover each one in a different favorite fabric. I collect trims, especially vintage pom pom fringe trims. The hardest ones to find are these really large ones i used here. The turquoise is one of the hardest colors to get, and when i took it out of it's storage bag, i realized i had just enough ,plus 3 inches left over- perfect!! I've also wanted to do the same with my dining chairs. Sometime i fight myself over going to the wild side because it just seems a little too crazy to mix all those different colors and fabrics. When I did my moms couch, I went through the same inner fight, and when i was done, it looked SOOO fantastic!!!! Which means, I should get going on those dining chairs . My biggest dilemma is: all lime green bush fringe , or mix'em up depending on the fabrics I decide to use????? Hot pink, light pink , lime green, yellow , bubble gum pink, and.... um? I would have to think of what other color brush fringes i have..... Oh!! of course-turquoise!! I hope every body had a great day :-)
