First of all, it was a very good day for me. I sold a large piece of furniture at the shop, I delivered a completed gold leafed frame to a client and I got an exciting phone call from an interior designer who loves my work and is interested in some of my furniture and some custom work. It was also in the balmy 40’s, so I was able to do some spraying. I am bubbling over, so I just had to share.
Anyway, if you checked in with me yesterday, you saw my latest finds. Remember the antique mirror and small frames…?
As always, one thing has led to another and I have been working on the vanity and bench today. I can’t wait to show you how they turn out. Come to think of it, I can’t wait to see how they turn out as well!
I’m posting a really cool giveaway on Monday, so make sure you visit. Also, I’m teaching my first decorative painting post on Wednesday for the Workshop Series. Make sure you have your paint and brushes ready!
I’m posting this to Met Monday.

Everything turned out great! That wall grouping has really come together. Love the old postcards and the frames. You have certainly had a great day. Love & blessings from NC!
I love what you did with those frames. They look completely different. It's so neat that the postcards are from your family.
Very clever that you captured your dresser in the mirror!
That looks great. I do like the dark wood on the mirror. I really like what you did to the frames. I see alot of gold/dark frames so I will doing that.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Lovely wall arrangement!! I love the frames and postcards. The turquoise was a fabulous idea!

Yes, that is feather trim on the lamps. I bought it years ago at Tuesday morning and glued it to the lamp shades.
Wow, I LOVE those frames, and the story behind the postcards.

You have no idea how much you inspire me! Yesterday I went thrifting and picked up an ironstone platter, two darling pink & white china plates and I bet you can figure out what I am going to do with them next!!
