New Projects

The store has been so busy I have mutiple projects to get finished! This great 9-drawer dresser, I'm painting white, will be a great dresser or buffet.




This smaller 3-drawer dresser, I think I'm painting it black, add some crystal knobs and I think it will be stunning.











This is a great armoir, it still has the the brass bar and hooks across the back. I've decided to paint it white and add gold accents. It will be so beautiful!





This wonderful pedestal table has a stunning pedestal base. Since the table top veneer is ruined, I'm going to paint it vanilla cream and add some gold accents so the top and the base match better.

Blessings

Things are going so well at the store! Just to recap our blessings, we re-opened on Jan 15th, we are now open 7 days a week, which is so wonderful. We have already sold out of all our back-up furniture and so now we are all scrambling to get more finished. Our Vintage style valentines are so beautiful, we are almost out of the red hearts, (sold out of the silver), the fairy boards are also doing very well!

Yesterday I spent the whole day in the garage painting and prepping. I repaired and painted a long 9-drawer dresser (white & gold), 8 chalkboards, stripped a table, and finished a large 12-light chandelier! My fingers feel bruised from all the scrapping and stripping. I'm hoping it's not too early to shabby the dresser tonight so I can bring the dresser and chandelier in tomorrow.

This is all on top of the stuff I finished last week - a beautful tall black bookshelf with gold highlights, painted a vintage rusty trunk pink, repaired and painted a small cabinet with 1 drawer and 2 doors (a great nightstand or end table).

To top if off, I get to see great customers every day! It doesn't get much better than this.
