Secretary Before & After and Lucketts
I mentioned last week that I had painted a secretary to sell at Lucketts. Well, it made it to the Lucketts parking lot, but I had a buyer before I even posted the pictures. The before wasn’t too bad, but it was a little scratched and the finish looked a little dated (in my opinion.) […]
Baby Jewels Giveaway
When Cat sent me an e-mail about sponsoring my blog, I was really excited. Her stuff is so cute and can be used for marketing, decorating, entertaining, holidays, gifts…lots of stuff. In her online shop, she sells fondant stamps… (She made a custom one for me with my logo.) …self-inking stamps… (I have one to […]
French Feed Sack Chair
This is the post where I take a perfectly good chair, rip it to pieces and make it something that is totally “me”. This is the perfectly good chair. This is me ripping apart said chair. …and this is the chair now. Totally me. Frenchiness. Feed-sack-ish-ness. I know this won’t be everyones cup of tea, but […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Slipcover & Furniture Link Parties
Tonight is the night. If you made a slipcover (using my video or all by your onesie), this is your time to shine. I received so many wonderful e-mails, pictures, stories and questions about slipcovers once I started posting my slipcover tutorials. I was so amazed at some who had never sewn before or those […]
Fondant and Tears
Today was sort of a mixed bag for me. We’ll start with some of the good. I got more Chalk Paint colors to try and I received a fun box of goodies from one of my new sponsors, Cat from Baby Jewels. She made me a fondant stamp with my logo on it! I’m planning […]
Night Stand Makeover
I am in a mad dash to refill my space at Lucketts. I was basically wiped clean last weekend, but I’m really energized and on a creative high because of it. I’m a strange bird, but I guess I’m in the right business! Here’s my latest project… In my flurry, I didn’t take a before picture, but […]
Restocking
Today was a good day. I had my foot x-rayed (after dropping two sheets of bead board on it last Friday) and it’s badly bruise, but not broken. Yay! I was having nightmares of a paint-splattered cast. I bought a great French chair off Craig’s List. And, I turned thirty-three today. My husband did a grand […]
market sign & my pavilion
I finished this sign the morning I brought it to Lucketts, so we didn’t have a chance to do a proper photo shoot together. Sorry! I really love how this one turned out, though. The bead board door was already painted a cream color, so I simply painted over it with Antibes Green with lettering […]
