Vintage Aqua Dresser

I can' believe it's the start to another week! This month is flying by and I've been super busy with all kinds of custom painting orders.
 
 
Remember that cottage, yellow dresser that I shared last week, here? Well, I got a second dresser the same day and it sold immediately to the next person that had been on my waiting list.

Vintage Kitchen Cupboard

So, I'm pretty sure that I have one of the slowest kitchen updates on record. Seriously, it was like a year in a half ago that we updated the light, by removing the old (and ugly) stained glass chandelier and replacing it with a drum shade. We also stored away our kitchen table (it wasn't really necessary since our dining room is just steps away) in lieu of a stainless steel kitchen island to have more prep space.

[Project Notebook] Inspired Furniture

I just love painted furniture (obviously)! The possibilities are truly endless when you are reinventing an old piece. One of my favorite things is to do is to add a bit of a bold or unexpected touch to vintage furniture.
 
Here are some pieces that I find particularly inspiring (and that I would like to try)!

Updated Vintage Desk

This was one of those projects that seemed to drag on forever.  I totally have no idea why, it was just like I would do a step and then put it away for a couple of weeks. Has this ever happened to you?

Cottage Yellow Dresser

Happy Mother's Day!
 
I have the sweetest and prettiest dresser makeover to share with you all today.
 
This was a vintage dresser that I found, but custom painted for a customer and I think her idea was just perfect for the piece!

Things I'm Loving This Week...

TGIF! This week has flown by for me! I have another busy day today, but hope to just crash and catch up on all sorts of relaxing things this weekend...wine, magazine reading...
 
Here are my favorite things this week. Which do you love best? (Mine is the first!)

[Project Notebook] Potting Benches

I've been so busy with painting furniture lately that I haven't even had a chance to begin decorating my back porch. (Which, is probably for the best since the pollen counts have been off the chart and I wouldn't last two minutes out there anyway!)
 
 
I have tons of ideas floating around in my head and one is to add in a small potting bench. I've been hunting for a table to fit that spot, but so far, not a lot of luck. (There is one that I like and have been considering...maybe I should just get it so I can stop thinking about it!) In the meantime, I have found lots of ideas that completely inspire me.

Have a great day!
