Lastly, Colleen from 58 Water Street transformed this table with paint on the base and a washed technique on the top. She stripped of the shiny orange finish and now it has a more timeless look.

I typically post my previews a few days ahead of an original art sale, but May has been so busy that this sale snuck up

Before I share my Lucketts recap, I wanted to let you know my next original art sale is Wednesday, May 20, 20206, at 1:00 pm Eastern. For those interested in early access at noon, you can sign up HERE. On Thursday night, we packed our van with oil painting supplies,

I’ve reached that tipping point in my life where I feel like I probably have enough stuff. No doubt, I passed that point years ago, but hunting for antiques and just the right piece for my house is still so much fun! I have noticed I walk out of more

Thanks for hosting! Since this is a furniture link party, I figured this trick an old timer carpenter taught me to repair furniture might be helpful to folks linking up here too. Thanks again! Liz http://www.HometoCottage.com (formerly DecorateWithaLittleBit.com)
Thanks for hosting and giving us the opportunity to share! Exciting news about your floor–can’t wait to see finished project–we’ll be doing the same next fall! Hope your back feels better!
Marian, I fee like an idiot, but I linked up twice (same post), but the first one is a broken link and I cannot figure out how to delete it. I can only see that little trash can icon on the one that has the correct link. Please forgive me, and if you can, delete the first one? The broken link is #24. If not, no biggie… I just hate looking like a moron who links up the same project twice.
Hi Marian – Thanks for the link party. Look forward to seeing your finished project.

Thank you so much for the feature! Looking forward to seeing you in a few months at Lucketts (as a buyer this year, not a vendor!) Cheers, Suzanne
