Striped Chest.

Posting two days in a row, now that's a change. Ha! It feels good to have two pieces done in less than a week! Thanks to some help from my mother ;)

Here's the other chest piece that I posted a few weeks ago. I wanted the stripes to be as imperfect as possible while still lining up with each other. And the original hardware is just painted and sanded. I love how it turned out. Makes me want to keep her :(

Green it is.

Okay, so here's the reveal of the waterfall dresser that I posted a few weeks ago. She is not perfect but that's okay. The imperfections are good. At least I think so anyway. I decided on a green/white two tone with black knobs. I wanted to do something different. And I'm kind of liking these waterfall pieces I've been finding lately. They are more modern, but still fun and vintage looking.

Owl Book Ends

I had to share these cute little owl book ends I found for under two bucks at a thrift store. I have looked up similar ones at barnesandnoble.com and they are close to $40. That's crazy. I knew they had potential when I saw them - just a little white spray paint and they look modern and oh so cute! So excited for these things - my little boy loves owls and now he has two that will go in his room!

Dresser projects and a good find.

Hey guys!

I know its been a couple weeks since I've posted. I'm sorry. I've had some family stuff to sort out and have been staying with family for the past 2 weeks. I have been itching to show you all some things I've been working on. I will have access to my husband's nice camera tomorrow and will hopefully find time to take some detail shots of some of my projects. Here are some finds that I picked up last week.


Antique Dresser - I've already finished this one and will hopefully have some after pics soon!



Waterfall dresser - still deciding on color


And lastly, this gorgeous antique mirror. I found this thing for $15. Can't really decide if I'm going to paint it or not - I kind of like the gold. What do you guys think? I need some ideas.
