Bench & New Project!

This week has kept me busy because we have a bunch of new projects which is very exciting.  I just finished this bench and already have a buyer pending pickup.  I don't have before pictures but to give you an idea it was a wood frame with a blue velvet seat. Here is the finished product...

Sold (pending pickup) $75

Slightly distressed

Now for some pictures of my work in progress right now.  This piece is so beautiful!  I can't wait until its done!  Here is what it looked like when we first brought it home. 

Its a bit hard to tell but this is the mirror that goes on the harp on the dresser. For some reason I can't get the picture to turn on the blog...oh well.  When you see the finished product next week I will put it all together.  Have a great weekend!



New Paint and Fabric Can do Wonders!!

The last couple weeks have been pretty rough finding pieces out there to refinish.  But, I was lucky enough to snag this cute little gossip chair at one of the last sales we went to last Saturday!  All it needed was a new coat of paint, a little distressing, and new fabric and it looks awesome!

Here is the before picture



Here is what it looks like now...

For sale $65

Here is another new piece I will posting on craigslist today.  It is a very cute metal garden/plant stand.

For sale $40

I am hoping this will be a succesful weekend of treasure hunting! 

Hot & Humid!

It has been so hot and humid this week that I haven't been able to work on any projects.  This humidity does funny things to paint and stain!  So, since I don't have anything new yet this week I thought this would be a good time to mention that I do custom work!  I can find you a piece, change or update a piece you already have, or customize a piece I already have for you.  Here are some pictures of some custom work that I have already done along with some other pics of completed projects...

Sold for $120 w/chair

Sold seperately for $130

Currently for sale $50

Available for customization or buy as is for $50

Better late than never!

Sorry for those who follow this weekly I have fallen behind a bit and didn't get a post up yet.  But I finished 2 projects and am excited to show you the results.  The first is a custom job that I am doing for a family friend.  She was looking for a dining room table and chairs and guess what color she wanted incorporated...yup turquoise!  Here are the befor pics!

Here is what they look like now...but the table is still unassembled because its easier for me to store, so you will have use your imagination!

This table is awesome because it has the wings and a leaf so it can be used for weeknight dinners as well as larger occasions!  Here are the chairs!

I hope she loves it!  I am actually bummed I am selling it.  On to the next one.

This next project has given me nothing but problems, small silly ones but, problems none the less!  Here is the before picture.

Here is what it looks like now...

For sale $175

Looking forward to the 3 day weekend!  Everybody stay safe and have a great Labor Day!

A little crafty!!

A couple of weeks ago I was reading a blog that I follow consistently called Oops!! redone and found this really cute way of using vintage frames and giving them a makeover.  She created cute little memo boards with vintage frames and chicken wire.  She went through and explained how to do it and it seemed easy enough.  But, as I found out last night...its not!  But the end product is really cute!!

Here is the before picture of the frame I used...I found it at a yard sale for .50!

Here is what it looks like now....very cute!  I decided to use it for all of my daughters little hair clips instead of as a memo board.

If anyone is interested in one of these please email me at slsharp81@gmail.com.  I am on the lookout right now for more frames.

Beautiful Antique White

This past Saturday at a yard sale we found this beautiful tiger oak antique dresser with mirror.  I started looking at it and the owner came up and started talking to me about it.  He started telling me that he has had this piece for over 19 years it had been given to him as a wedding present. 
When we got this home Saturday I immediately started working on it, and forgot to take before pics!   I just finished distressing it this morning and here is the finished product.  A beautiful shabby chic white dresser!!

The pictures don't really do this piece justice, it looks so good in person.  I have this for sale right now on craigslist for $150.  Until next project...

Its Back!!

Last week I left you with a picture of an unfinished dresser/hutch and didn't tell you what color it was going to be but....the turquoise is back!!!  I love this color and finish on anything curvy.  Here is the before picture again.  I know that it looks funny without the drawers and cabinet door but the hubby got a quick jump on this one and I got the picture when I could.

After a couple days of work...here is what I have now for sale.

$150

My thought is that since there isn't a mirror anymore it can be used with or without the harp. It has the most unique vintage hardware I have ever seen!!!  I have a few more pieces that should be done this week...my 2 year old willing...lol!  I should have another blog update in the next couple days!!
