Jeffey The Store Kitty King of Vintage Chic Furniture



OMG!! This is the GREATEST cat ever !!! He actually let us put a crown on his head while he posed for us. He is the best and coolest cat I've ever had!! My friend Thea Couglin fabulous baby photographer http://www.theacoughlin.com/ , does some wonderful newborn photos. She has used many of my furniture pieces for her shoots. After the last newborn shoot at my store, we placed Jeffrey on the set , put a crown on his head, and he happily posed for us. Can you believe a CAT ??sat there and posed??? AND let us put a crown on his head ??? while he sat there ??? As far as cats go, that's almost unheard of !!! He is just the most awesome kitty EVER!! Also, in my older posts, you will see that he was on the front cover of April 2010 Life At Home Magazine. He is a local celebrity. He could be a professional Kitty Model :-)

new wonderful french gray pieces









With the start of the new year I decided to do some new and different styles with my furniture painting, and voila I introduce to you my french grey or gray and white distressed pieces. i have done a special technique with an older paint finish / style that makes them look like an old world super shabby chic finish that you would find on real antique painted pieces from France with a really old finish that has aged as gracefully as the piece of furniture itself. I have sold my of these rather quickly and one of the best things is that grey or gray and white matches everything!! they are both neutral colors. here are some of my creations- i hope you love them as much as I do!! Here they are , I hope you love them as much as I do.... see more at http://www.vintagechicfurniture.etsy.com/ big hugs to all my followers.... :-)

OMG! Antique Sofa Chenille Bedspread Slipcover Shabby Chic Wonderful







WOW! I am amazed every time I make a new slip covered sofa with lovely vintage chenille bedspreads and wonderful rose fabrics. Each one is just so pretty and unique. I go a little crazy with mixing different patterns of fabrics, each with a different lovely sprays of roses, swags and scrolls. I find I am most loving the white pink and aqua combos. I love to use a bunch of different vintage trims; bedspread fringe, pom pom, and brush fringes.



One of the things that makes them so wonderful is you don't have to live with just one fabric that you love. You can always change around the cushions and pillows to get a whole different look. It keeps us interested and we don't get bored with something we really love.



I am so excited about these and can't wait to make more. I have been on the hunt for more good vintage and antique sofas, love seats and chairs that i can transform. With that, I am also hunting out fabulous chenille bedspreads to use. Keep an eye out for more of My chenille slipcovered creations in my Etsy store http://www.vintagechicfurniture.etsy.com/ . Custom orders also happily created just for you :-)
