We’ve done so much stuff for Lucketts that it’s been hard to even show it all! So, I have a bunch of pieces to share in this post.
One of the first things I bought for Lucketts was this set of chairs. They are so sweet and the design on the backs, to me, looked almost German.
We removed the rubber covers on the feet and painted them in MMSMP French Enamel, finished with Hemp Oil. The shutters in the back are painted in Lucketts Green and those will be for sale at Lucketts as well. ($75 for the pair.)
The backs of these chairs did a really cool crackle thing all on their own. The set of chairs is $120.
I styled the chairs with a washtub stand that was the perfect size, although a little impractical to actually use as a table! It would definitely need a piece of glass on it.
I’m planning to keep the wash stand. For a while, anyway.
I think this desk is one of the only pieces of furniture I bought that was just cleaned up and received a coat of Hemp Oil…no paint. I loved the enamel top against the wood. It’s a pretty unusual piece.
The clock, globe and old stapler will be for sale at Lucketts as well.
And there’s this vanity/desk…
I really loved the original hardware, so I took my cue from those and painted the piece in Boxwood, leaving the turned legs just stained wood, so they would be showcased.
The alabaster lamp and alarm clock will be for sale as well…
And lastly, for this post, there is this sweet little cabinet…
Here’s how it started…
I stripped and refinished the top and then painted it in Grain Sack. It’s just a sweet, simple piece, perfect for a nightstand or end table.
And, believe it or not, there is still more. But that’s for another post…

My, You are going full tilt! Love everything you have picked for the sale.
I had a piece that was similar to the small cupboard painted in Grain Sack. Anyway, I was told that it was a “jelly cupboard” (mine only had one drawer). Has anyone heard that term before for a piece such as this one?
Thanks for the education ladies/gentlemen.
I sold one last year myself, and had purchased it from a couple – old timers in the business – and they called it a washstand. Mine only had one drawer also. Furniture back in the day like that was, I would bet, multi-functional in old farmhouses, so I could see either purpose (as well as a nightstand).
So, so awesome. You’re going to have an awesome show. I lurve that green vanity – that hardware and the legs left against the boxwood.

Oh my, that green vanity is to die for! Love those legs unpainted with the boxwood – would never have thought to do that – but that’s why you are Miss Mustard Seed!!! Hope to see you at Lucketts!
You are killing me! Everything you show is gorgeous. Love all the color – especially that green vanity. The paint really brought out its beauty, and it has great legs too. 🙂

The little white cabinet is a wash stand. The old picture and bowl sets would sit on top. Some of them has a towel rack on the back. You may see evidence of where one was either on the back or the side of this one. Jelly Cabinets were much taller in my experience.
Everything looks awesome! I LOVE the doors!!
I meant pitcher, not “picture” and bowl. LOL
I love, love, love the fact that you understand the language of “furniture”! I wish there was a Rosetta Stone tutorial for that!;)
Amazing! You sure have painted and gathered tons of treasures for Lucketts!
I love everything that you have done, but may add I think the blue chairs need some stencilling on the backs. They just look a little blah.
I hope you have a great show!
🙂 Good luck next weekend! I hope to make it down out there on Saturday.
So far I have yet to see a piece that I would not love to have! You really have a wonderful selection of sizes, styles and colors. I really love the Boxwood, too! That desk is a beauty!
