Newbies

I've got two new tables that are almost done. I can't wait to post them. Here's the before shots, and a hint to after - is that I have a recent love affair with grey. Or is it spelled "gray"?

 My mom came across this one, and it has really pretty diagonal wood grain on the top. I do love painting furniture, but in this case, I kept some wood grain. I won't spoil the surprise.

OK - now this one... I love! I am a total sucker for drop leaves. The idea of super easy expandability just tickles me pink, or whatever that expression is.  I almost kept this one... I just finished up with it today. Pictures soon!

Sakura visits Better After

Yesterday I was honored to be featured on one of my favorite blogs, Better After! She posted the before and after of the Sakura table, check it out here.

If you haven't seen Better After before, head over and check it out. It's really entertaining and inspiring to see all these different pieces change into awesome works of art. Lindsey is a really funny blogger too, so it's fun to read!  Click the picture to head on over.

Emerald Chair

The Emerald Chair is done! And lovingly named Dorothy, of course. This was a great find, and I'm really happy with how the glaze job came out. Completely new foam and fabric, very comfortable chair!

Alexandra

Here is a chair I finished up recently. Been trying to finish it for a long time! The main issue was finding new padding, and I finally found a store that carries the thickness I was looking for.  My friend Aaron named her "Alexandra" and I thought it was cute, so it stayed.  Here she is:

 I don't have a before picture, but this is the original paint. I cleaned it up, then I distressed all the edges. I also gave it a high gloss seal, and I really like how it came out. The seat was torn before, so this is brand new - 2" foam, and all new fabric. I love love love this fabric.

New Home for the Twins

The nasturtium twins made it to their new home this week, and the new owner was nice enough to send me a picture! Check out the adorable room, too! I love the colors :)

 I LOVE that bedspread, and the three dandelions on the walls! So, there's the nightstand. Made it safe and sound, I'm so happy with the newfound shipping option.  It costs slightly more, but in the long run - building a custom box and using UPS has proven to be a success.  Have a wonderful weekend! Special thanks to Dana for letting me use this photo.
