Welcome back my Beauties!

I can't even believe summer is coming to an end!
We have been sucking out every last second of it since we were trapped indoors for the loooong looooong winter we had here.

But don't despair, even while I have been enjoying my summer I have also been painting away.

For instance; this beautiful beat up little vintage dresser.

A friend of mine was cleaning out her mother in laws house that had passed and asked me if I wanted this.

Of course I said yes.

It had seen better days, but that also means it had been well loved.

It had done its job for the family and now it was my turn to give her a makeover that would turn heads again.

You can see from the top that it was in ok condition.

I just cleaned that up and the drawers and then got to work on the base.

I decided I wanted to show off her royal elegance so I of course chose a royal color. WESTMINSTER GREEN by General Finishes

I sanded and wiped down all the places I would be painting and got to work.

In between paint drying on the base I cleaned up the hardware and spray painted them to refresh them with some Rustoleum gold spray paint.

Once they were dry I put the whole thing back together again.

Look at how well that top cleaned up along with the drawer fronts.

That gorgeous finish was hiding under all that dirt and dust.

And as for the base;look how that green helped make that wood finish POP! 

I think you will agree that it looks ROYALLY BEAUTIFUL now, don't you? 

I promise I will be back soon with more makeovers.

Things have been selling like crazy so I am only getting a few minutes to photograph before I have bring things in.

So if you want to keep up with what's going on during the INBETWEEN be sure to follow me on---> Instagram stories.

That's where you get all the nitty gritty :)

Until next time,

Have a Beautiful Day!

Romantic Vintage Floral Dresser Makeover

WELCOME BACK MY BEAUTIES!

I am so excited to show you this latest makeover.

You know I have been loving the new transfers 

for furniture!

Like this one that you can see HERE 

Or my Husbands old dresser that I gave a re-makeover HERE 

Or the first one I did HERE

I told YOU, I have been having way too much fun! :)

ANYWAY, I wanted to do something a little different and so I decided to go with a bit more of a romantic graphic

and not so much the advertisement style. 

But first I had to prep my piece.

I LOVE old maple dressers but this one was quite beat up, so I knew it would be the perfect piece for this project. 

I grabbed my sandpaper and gave the piece a good sanding and then wiped it down.

Then once it was prepped I grabbed my General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint and got to work. 

Since I would be putting the graphic over these two drawers I didn't need to fully paint them, just around the edges.

Once everything was dry I could get to the fun part. 

Rubbing on the gorgeous Transfer

I chose the DARK ROMANCE transfer. I just fell in love with the vintage romantic feel. 

I mean...look at how awesome it plays against the black.

As for hardware I just decided to use the original and give it a shot of SILVER Spray Paint

I am seriously IN LOVE! 

It really changed the whole look of the beat up old dresser.

Plus it plays perfectly with the silver hardware.

Well, I am off to work on more pieces!

I hope you enjoyed this latest makeover. 

Until next time,

Have a Beautiful Day!

Before and After Persian blue library table makeover

Welcome back my Beauties!
I am in Beast mode over here since the weather has finally decided to be nice. 

I have been plowing through my stash of furniture and this little beauty that has been sitting for quite a few months finally got her makeover!
Come check out the Before and After of this Persian blue Library Table.

I picked this table up at the local thrift shop.

I loved the lines and the appliques on her but that top was in some serious distress.

I knew it was gonna take some work so I pulled out my arsenal and got to work.

First thing I did was grab my Orbital Sander.

I used 2 different grits to get the old finish off and take care of the gouges.

When I was done I wiped it down with some tack cloth and got ready to stain.

I chose minwax's Dark Walnut stain for the top.

I really wanted the grain and inlay to stand out and I knew this would do the trick.

What a difference already!

Once the stain was dry I just used some Wipe on Poly in satin to seal it.

Now it was time to start on the base. To play off the dark top,

I went with General Finishes Persian Blue paint

Can you believe the difference!

I mean, LOOK at the top!
I am in LOVE!!!

I can't believe I waited so long to make her over.

I just love how it turned out.

I hope you enjoyed this makeover.

This beauty is headed to my booth and hopefully soon be enjoying her new life in someone elses home!

Until next time.

Have a Beautiful day!

Before and After Vintage Umbrella Hall Tree Makover

Welcome back my Beauties!
It's been a crazy week here with kids stuff and unfortunately a funeral for our beautiful Step Grandmother. 
In the midst of all that I decided to add to the crazy by redoing a piece of furniture.
Sales have picked up and I have already gone through my reserve pieces which is a good thing, but that means painting a bunch of pieces in a short period of time to restock the booth.
One of those pieces was this vintage-ish pine hall tree. 
You can't see from the pictures but all the stain was missing from the feet and had many gouges and scratches.
No better candidate for paint.

As I was looking at the piece deciding what color my daughter suggested white.

You know me.... I very rarely do white.

I love color, but I decided to listen to my daughter.

I grabbed my General Finishes Antique White milk paint 

and gave it a couple coats.

After I was done painting I put the hooks back on and got ready to photograph her.

I gotta say. 

I really LOVE it.

I didn't know how I would feel about the white, but I really think it was the perfect color for this piece.

I think it actually makes it feel more vintage. 

My husband even asked if I was gonna keep it he liked it so much.

But as you can see from the picture I had to move my Grandmother Clock that I had redone to photograph it, and I love my Grandmother clock more.

So its off to the BOOTH for this Hall tree.

I hope you guys enjoyed the latest makeover! 

I am off to my studio to paint some more pieces!

Have a Beautiful day!
