Some of my latest work....


HEADBOARD FOR SALE $50-SOLD!!




This would be darling in any girls room! Freshly Painted white with a gloss finish!



CUTE ENTRY TABLE/NIGHTSTAND OR SOFA TABLE.... IT WAS FOR SALE..... SOLD!!!!








This piece of course is on my favorites list!  And I of course wanted to keep it for myself...  However my house is MAXED OUT on furniture!  DANG IT!  However I'm keeping it in the family.... I had to show it off, so i sent pictures to my sister & she couldn't pass it up!  It is simply Adorable! 

If you can't tell it was an old sewing machine, I had my husband gut it and put a bottom in it..  I don't sew but I'm sure it could still hold a smaller sewing machine or decorations, books, etc!  I believe my sister is going to use it as a side table next to her couch!  Cute, Cute!

I just thought I'd share one of my favorite walls in my house...
 
 
 
I promise I'm not one to brag, but I had to share one of my favorite walls in my house.. Aren't these frames so fun?! This is in my nail salon. I'm now on search for the perfect cabinet, something larger to replace this one..

 

 Here's a couple of other furniture pieces that I've refinished for my nail room...

Before...  Nail table
This table actually was worse off then this, it had a funky layer of wood like wallpaper on top, that was rotted or something..?!
 
 
After..... What Sanding & Paint will do!




Another fun find that my sister actually found for me to sell, but of course I had to keep it for myself!

I'm FINALLY back!


Wow time literally flies past me these days... Last time I posted i was still pregnant, now I have a 5 month old! Unbelievable really!! Well I finally feel like I have my feet under me now, adjusting to two kids and being a full time mom vs. one kid and a full time working momma is two entirely separate worlds!  Who would have thought...?! Personally I would have thought that the full time mom was the easier route...  Some days not so much! Everyday is laundry, whining kids, messes, diapers, feedings, cleaning, over and over again... Ok that is the bad! I definitely feel very blessed and it is so rewarding to be able to be there for my kids and at the end of the day I wouldn't trade my time with my kids for anything else. Ok maybe a shower before 10:00am!  Thankfully I have two cute kids that are good natured & happy for the most part, not to mention a husband that puts up with me and who is so hard working!

Back to what I love doing! Since January I'm happy to say I've knocked a FEW things off my to do this!

Here is the Armoire that i finished for my son's room to match his changing table



I had my husband replace the backing with bead board to dress it up a bit, and i have since added cute brown baskets to hold more clothes.


                              Isn't this color great?! (Check back with me soon for paint colors.)
 
 
I have also finished my Christmas present to myself, which i couldn't be happier with! And I'm happy to say that my entry way is now organized (or as organized as it's going to get...)
 
 
Dresser Redo #1
I finally finished this bad boy to match my night stands in my room!  (Or i should say I'm 95% done with it.)  I still have to finish the door to cover the middle drawers. I was indecisive on what hardware i wanted on it and where, now I'm waiting until i have something else to paint in this color to finish it, almost there though.
 
 
Dresser Redo #2 - SOLD

I absolutely love a good solid dresser, but man dressers are so much work! I had fun with this one with all of the character and detail that it has!  I also discovered a great bronze paint that i painted some of the original gold hardware to match the new top & middle hardware!
 
I was half tempted at first to redo this one for myself.. But decided to go with the one that matched my nightstands.
 
P.S. I have lots more to come!  Stay tuned!
